Great Deal The Battle at the Moons of Hell (Helfort's War: Book I)
Our Family loves to read. All types of Books. This was a gift for my Son. When I give a book to my friends, they usually ask if I have read it. Whenever I say "No" they ask if I would like to ? (after they have read it) So I feel it is gifted back to me. And of course, we have a good discussion about the book!

Ok, we have a space fleet cadet/officer - stellar performer, having troubles due to adversaries' intrigues, but supported by benevolent senior fleet commanders. We have an evil theocratic regime troubled by economical consequences of its evil policies and looking for salvation in nefarious covert operations involving murder, sabotage and space piracy. We have a bad guy who saw the light and decided to redeem his sins. We even have a prison planet named "Hell".
The characters are absolutely flat, the plot has gaps large enough to drive a truck through, the writing is full of repetitions and just plain bad.
If you're a Weber's fan you will stumble upon adoptions from page 1 and will be bored and disappointed by page 11. If you're not, save yourself some time and money and go straight to the original: "On Basilisk Station", "The Honor of the Queen", "The Short Victorious War", etc.

The Battle at the Moons of Hell (Helfort's War: Book I) Overviews
“A planet-stomping space opera that bursts off the page like a tactical nuke.”
–John Birmingham, author of Weapons of Choice
The Hammer Worlds–the most brutal and oppressive interstellar government in the universe–have hijacked the Federated Worlds cruise ship Mumtaz, seizing its valuable terraforming cargo and damning its passengers to mining the moons of the prison planet known as Hell.
For Junior Lieutenant Michael Helfort and the crew aboard deep space scout vessel 387, the mission is clear: infiltrate enemy territory, locate the Mumtaz, and rescue the prisoners.
The odds are appalling, and the damage will probably be fatal, but victory is nonnegotiable–especially for Helfort, whose mother and sister were on the Mumtaz.
And Michael Helfort will be damned if he’ll let his family rot on the moons of Hell.
