Anyone here ever read The Salvation War? I got it recommended to me, but I couldn't read it after I realized that it was basically FUCK YEAH MURICA KICKS ASS WIHT TEKNOLOGEE.
Some highlights:
1. Every weapon is described in excessive detail, saying exactly how it dismembers the enemy, yet the demons basically seem to be humans with red skin.
2. A messenger demon sent to herald the apocalypse to humans - keep in mind they're 20 feet tall - is killed by Thailand police ...for littering.
3. Bill Clinton somehow knows how to tell if a succubus is a real woman or not and casually kills one with a shotgun he pulls out of nowhere. BILL. CLINTON.
Overall, teh oomanz win easily and there's no excitement in the book because you know the demons lose because MURICA.
In essence, I didn't like it.
