1632

This book left me with a feeling of cognitive dissonance. I was torn between the interesting premise and the great, tough, female characters versus the slimy national populist ideology where America is so great that it has the answer to all of history's problems. I've read that Flint identifies as liberal and there are very strong elements of that in the story. But it also has a strong manifest destiny theme that left me uncomfortable in my own skin. It's basically a military SF story and lots of enemies are slaughtered as the main characters protect their land.
