There hasn't been much about the books I haven't liked. Except for Sally. Fuck her. So god damn annoying in the early books when all she says is "No". You're talking to John fucking Patrick Ryan. Show some god damn respect and use "sir" when you finish a sentence.
Yes the lasers are a thing now. Not sure on range but they can shoot anything they have line of sight to. Just heat em up till they explode. Pretty sure a nuclear weapon wouldn't detonate but the rocket would pop. Google will tell you everything you could possibly want to know about it I'm sure
