Counterattack (The Corps, #3)

This is the third book in the series.
This book centers on the heroes friends and family from the past 2 books in the series. This change in the series completely confused and made me stop to make sure I was reading the right series. The author gave you no reason for this change - it just happened. A few times our past hero or one of his other close friends are mentioned, but you gain nothing from it other than for the stories to be linked up.
While the heroes and heroines in this story once again (once you get past it not being the same hero/heroine and basically tells a story from other points of view) gets you to like and almost bond with them, but the long drawn out descriptions in areas where they are not needed and the overabundance of sub characters make you want to pull your hair out.
The plot and the main character along with some of the many (and I mean MANY) sub characters are good but again are well over and truly overdone. In areas you don't understand why the author has taken you down this area of the story line at all. The characters you want to know about are few and far between, and leaves you wanting more for them and going what the...? regarding the other bits.
There are more books in the series, but this is much better than the past series I read. I have given the author 3 chances to reduce and weave these plots together, but I can't do it any longer. Do I want to know about the characters and their outcomes? Sure due but not at the risk of turning bald because of the frustration of time wasting on things I don't need to know or are repeated as towards the middle to end of the book, he starts to repeat descriptions of where they are or where they are talking about.
I've shelved the series because I just can't handle the stories due to what I've put above. Good luck fair soldiers says this Navy sailor's brat.
