This was a great read!
I really enjoyed the character development. The action started off with a bang and didn’t let up til the end. This was also a clean read. I hope the next one is as good!

like a comic book
Not exceptional but mildly entertaining like a Marvel comic. A ploy to sell follow-up books. Don’t pay too much. Less than impelling.

good story
Good start, we’ll see how the series progresses. I like that there a more human like aliens, not spider or lizard people.
