Based on her unique upbringing, Jolie decides to join the USP military, requesting to be assigned to the Tasmanians SFG, an elite all male unit. The military brass agree to let her enter the school, thinking she couldn't possibly succeed and plan to make an example of her when she fails. Although Jolie is small, she is not what she appears. But can her martial arts enable her to survive the treachery of the military brass, the grueling of the school, the prejudices of the instructors, and the testosterone of an all-male class.

Pros:
I liked the idea of the story, special forces set in the future. Traveling from planet to planet facing tough missions.
The action is well written and enjoyable assuming you can get passed the fact that the enemies are more sympathetic than the heros.
Cons:
Future is incredibly sexist, for a relatively new series it doesn't make sense as a potential future based on our current culture.
The martial arts portion really isn't used in the story other than to explain how a "small weak woman" could pass tests made for men. Goofy decision to say the least. Also hard to believe that a futuristic special forces unit wouldn't have better martial arts style training.
The technology doesn't make sense at all. They travel from planet to planet but using a video camera to find enemy locations is revolutionary. Their equipment seems like it would be at best a couple of year away or already present. How don't they have better equipment for a futuristic special ops group. Awful decision.
I have more sympathy for the people they are fighting. Taking down striking miners, fighting natives in the jungle who are defending their land against invading colonists. This type of story should have been set 100 years ago not far in the future. At least then you could say they didn't know better.
Also how in the hell do you have an indigenous population of natives living in a rainforest with a pinnacle of technology of bows and arrows on a different planet set in the future. There's absolutely no explanation for how this happened. You would have had to settle a world and then regress in technology over a very long time period but the book seems to indicate that they were just settling the world. Maybe the natives were aliens but they seemed to be human and to be based off of the rainforest population in South America. It's an extremely off-putting decision and from a science fiction perspective makes no sense.

With nowhere left to run, the Allied States fortifies their few remaining outposts and relocates Central Command to prepare for their final stand. President Jan Ringgold and her generals know beating the enemy on the battlefield is impossible. The only path to victory seems to be taking down the leader of the New Gods, a sinister Chimera known as the Prophet, before he can complete his campaign to enslave humanity.
