At All Costs

The characters often face tough choices that seem deeply shaped by their ranks and duties. Did anyone else feel that the military structure felt authentic or did it sometimes overpower the story?

The combination of tactical battles and futuristic tech created a compelling universe. I'm curious whether the author drew from real military history or science to craft these scenes.

Some parts felt slower than the action scenes, but they added layers to the story. What did others think about the balance between combat and diplomacy?
