I'm interested enough to see where this is going, but everything is just so very *convenient*. Our protagonist is the bestest in everything she does, and I'm just going to have to trust the book's repeated insistence on this because I haven't really seen her DO anything except snark at people in situations where she really really shouldn't.

Our main character instantly lashes out the second someone with authority says something she disagrees with. And I'm supposed to believe she's had extensive military training and is used to working with crime bosses? You were hired to do a job, not to snark at and antagonize people who clearly hold more power than you! She's such a brat.

If you want to get a character across as intimidating, maybe don't have them "murmur" a correction on their position.
Also, there's nano-tech that seems to keep you perpetually young-looking, and it makes the 40-something main character look like she's in her twenties. Uh-huh. I can sense some major fuckery coming my way.
