Corporal David Cohen thought he’d left war behind.
He was wrong.
The Terran Coalition faces repeated and brutal attacks from the repressive League of Sol. To defend his home planet, David trades his dream of becoming a rabbi for a battlefront in the far reaches of space. When particle beams fly, his courage under fire brings quick promotion. But in the lulls between battles when he must confront his soul, David finds a different enemy: the ghosts of those killed under his command.
Yet in war, it’s kill or be killed - and the enemy shows no mercy.
David must square the tenets of his faith against his responsibility to crew and country. If he fails in his command, billions face enslavement by a ruthless regime. Now it’s an all-out fight for the galaxy’s freedom.
Because a man’s greatest foe lies within.
If you love Babylon 5, Safehold, and Destroyermen, you must listen to Echoes of War, a military sci-fi series that will take you to the heart of duty, sacrifice, and the unseen scars of those who serve.

For a military science fiction story, Fight the Good Fight is a decent representative of the genre with a really fascinating sociopolitical system as a backdrop for the military action and political maneuvering. As far as action goes, I think the book was slightly lacking; though there were some exciting battles, much of the story either skips non-critical engagements as time was fast-forwarded or gets bogged down in dry dialog outlining the religious or bureaucratic systems of the setting. While I can appreciate the detail that went into the setting, sometimes I really wanted battles and explosions.
I’ve noticed that lack of deep character development is a flaw for many military science fiction novels, and Fight the Good Fight is no exception. The characters are very one dimensional -- generally, they are all business and very serious. Every character is driven by a strong sense of duty and little else: duty to the military, duty to their nation, duty to God, and duty to family. Though there’s an occasional reference to friendships or other interests (David’s “best friend,” for example), there’s not much interaction in the actual dialog that shows these social dynamics. If characters are social outside of work or worship, it’s not something the reader gets to see happening. I missed this insight into the dynamics of the personal relationships of the characters and as a result, I didn’t feel very invested in the characters or their fate as the plot moved along.
All-in-all, it’s a solidly good book in the genre, but not a great one. I feel like the plot could have been improved with more character development and better story pacing with great focus on the action for a military science fiction novel set in the middle of a decades-old, constant conflict. All that said, I was good enough that I would give the next book in the sequel a shot to see if these small issues are resolved.
Thank you to Aethon Books who provided me this book free of charge at my request.

A strange pairing of military sci-fi and Judaism

Incredibly deep and philosophical. A unique tale

I loved this story of a soldier who must test his faith against not only the marketplace of ideas, but in life or death choices. Some may find the story line preachy, but as person of faith myself, I tolerate a great deal of postmodern preaching in other writing. This is a story of a good man forced to do hard things to protect his family and his freedom.

Besides the above, I would rate the story at 3 stars. I would give it this rating because I felt the beginning of the book was very rushed, and the MC switched his mood very quickly of wanting to be a rabbi, to giving that up and pursuing a military career. Then there was a part where it was similar to getting the band back together in Blues Brothers, but where I barely remembered who those people were in the book. I just didn't have that relationship with them yet and it felt weird. Later in the book I grew to know those characters better. From there, most of the rest of the book was predictable and kind of went with the flow, which isn't terrible, but also not that original.
For the narrator, he is ok. There is not much variation between voices, which not all narrators do. One thing I would mention though is that his voice seemed to get quieter at the end of a lot of sentences, which was noticeable. Overall an average narrator.
