Pandora's Redoubt

You can always tell a Nick Polotta story, its always fast, furious, and full of action. Ryan and his post-holocaust survivors go thru yet another round of survival in the deathlands, but this time they find themselves the ultimate War Wag if you will - in the form of an armored tank named LEVIATHAN. This is a super tank that gets them in a super-lot of trouble. It was a fun read but the only thing that really bothered me was that all of a sudden the entire group knew how to run a battle tank! When did this happen? The only ones with that kind of experience are Ryan and J.B. Now they could teach the rest of the group I suppose, but this was not shown or told in any way and to me it was a weakness in the storyline. It just seemed weird that Doc and Jak just knew how to use this high-tech machine with no problems. But despite that, overall it was a fun enough read and I for some reason really liked the very ending, it made me wonder why the story wasn't as neat and colorful as that?
