Query: A five-starer for this one...

I rarely give out five stars (only to a couple Wing Commander novles-- Also by Forstchen), but I felt that this first installment to the Lost Regiment series warranted that kind of lofty praise. The action is exciting and very intense, especially the end battles at the Ford and Suzdal, and you sort of do really feel the humans' desparation as they attempt to build a modern army from medievel Russian peasents in only a short amount of time. The transformation of the characters of Hawthorne and Kalencka are interesting, too. A young private to a colonel, a peasent to a leader of a rebellion. It was also cool to see a Ferguson in a book (my last name, if anyone cares). My only real complaint, however, was the horrible editing, but it was not enough for me to knock a star off there. Anyway, Rally Cry is really good read, yet oddly seems very different from the other books once you get up to book seven or eight, like I am now.
