Query: No conflict whatever

Okay, why do so many like this book? In the first half there is zero conflict. Zero. Finally, after all the false conflict of basic training and pages of sassy, "funny" and glib dialog about meals, having sex (imagine that!) and did I mention having sex? And while we're on the subject of sex, it's sex without meaning, sex without eroticism, sex that's just going through the motions (like the rest of the book) then we finally get to the first big battle scene and... and... Pffffffffffft goes the air out of the balloon. No one is in any real danger. It's a turkey shoot. That's where I gave up. When you can read half a book and not care if the main character lives or dies, then it's time to, as Dorothy Parker suggests, hurl the book with great force. If you want an involving SF story, CONFLICT and maybe even a character you will care about, try any earlier Jack Vance orSisters of Glass.
