Just re-read this in anticipation of revisiting Fireteam Elite. I actually think it's a pretty underrated book and is certainly better than Titan's last few efforts.

The only thing that lets it down really is a very rushed last few chapters where the main cast and the threats are wittled down within the space of a few pages.

Still hope we get a Pala Station campaign in the game at some point.

I wish it was booze. I've amended it. Do the same for your own posts for me, please.

Just means that

which not everyone may know or want to know. Just being courteous, not calling anyone else out.

But your words outside the spoiler tag say...
"She really was the ***** in

imho." which still tells everyone...

Spoiler
She's in the game!

Sidenote: Is there something wrong with me that I'm finding this conversation very entertaining?  ;D

Yeah, it's a spoiler for something in the game.

I just wish Monica had been the focus of the book to be honest. I found there was just too much stuff going on, without the time for anything to really get the time it deserved. I would have loved a better focus on her, the personal conflict with Hoenikker in particular rather than the one chapter it got. She really was the

Did you just put spoiler quotes around...

I think Hicks has been sneaking sips from Voodoo's Vodka!  :laugh:

I thought the game tied really nicely with the book, with Monica and all. Hopefully we get to explore Pala station as well.

Might want to point out that that's a spoiler for the game, not the book. Since we're in the literature section and I've read the book I clicked the spoiler and got spoiled, because I haven't played the game.
I figured leaving "in the final mission of the first campaign of the game." outside of the spoiler would serve that purpose.
True, but I read through in order, and that wasn't until after the spoiler. Maybe not a big spoiler, but still.

You didn't miss much, while the story is decent, the narrative of the game is very very bare bones.

Dumb little observation that I just wanted to throw out:

I think Hoenikker being a wimp in the book is meant to be the beginning of an arc - an arc that's concluded with
