I got this book free during lockdown in 2020 along with a bunch of others. When several of those were very ehh, I stopped reading them. Cut to February of '23 and I had an ehh book from the library, and picked this one up as it was on my device.
I will say that it is fast paced with interesting characters. The story feels kinda Star Trek/Mass Effect if that tells you anything.
Its a police procedural at heart, but with less of the politics many of those carry.
I enjoyed the book and plan to buy the rest of the series once I get enough free Amazon Fun Buxx.
It is free on Amazon and Google Books as of 3/15/2023.
