For good.

A quick but satisfying futuristic science fiction read taking place on another planet. A soldier, no longer qualified for duty, accepts an assignment on a newly discovered planet. He heads the detail protecting the scientists investigating the new planet. The protagonist quickly discovers there is more to the story than meets the eye.
An easy read with enjoyable characters I will be looking forward to reading other books by this author. If you are looking for science fiction with a bit of mystery, this is the book for you.
