This is the first book I read written by Rick Shelley and I was hooked on his style of writing. "Until Relieved" puts human faces and feelings on war no matter if it occurs on a single world or in the vast reaches of space. This story and the other two in the series illustrates the dedication of those who are willing to don the uniform. Mr. Sheeley, I feel, has done an excellent job of developing all the main characters of the 13th Spaceborne. As I said I have read the other two books in the Lucky 13th series, the two books of the Dirigent Mercenary Corps, and "The Buchannan Campaign," which I recommend to all readers of this type of genre.
