ゲットレディ!

I picked this up as part of my effort to grow my space-based science fiction vocabulary, with pretty low expectations for how good it would be. It was pretty bad, but in an easy-to-read way. Still wouldn't recommend it even as a gateway science fiction book though.

It has lots of space battles, but absolutely nothing interesting is at stake in them. It's a "war" in which no one can die, and the goals they're fighting to achieve mean nothing to the audience or the protagonist. Maybe that would be okay if the characters weren't insufferable. I don't know how the author thought it would be a good idea to make not one, but two protagonists who are both completely unrelatable, incredibly arrogant, and are near-perfect at everything they do. But hey, I'm not the target audience of this book, I guess.
