Brock Marsden isn’t quite human any longer. Using technology from the Galactics, Brock incorporated DNA from other species into himself. It gained him longevity, better vision, and faster reflexes. All traits valuable when tracking down the worst killers on the planet. A banker hires Brock to track down the being that murdered and mutilated his daughter. Brock’s partner at their detective agency saddles Brock with an alien intern. With a complicated love life, a police chief who’d like to shut him out of the case, and a threat from his distant past—Brock faces a case like none other. It will take all of Brock’s alien-enhanced abilities to stop this killer—and maybe more than he imagines.

Reading the pdf version and I'm finding it well written, with an overall well formatted appeal that will be attractive to most sci-fi readers.
It is, up to this point, well thought out, with subtle shifts as it carries you along the storyline.
I can at this point recommend it as a good read.
OK, I have finished Dark Matters, and though the storyline is good, with some creative twists and turns, it needs a LOT more editing. There were SEVERAL word switches (the correct spelling but the wrong word) and some serious errors that with a decent editor and a couple of proof readers, that could have been fixed.
Other than that, I would say it was a good read and well worth the time.
