I had high hopes for this book when I read the description... and boy were they dashed. Reading this felt like trying to slog through covert ops hero fanfic. The characters were interchangeable and tracing paper-thin, the fight scenes were meticulously over-described, the story arc was wobbly at best. This is not science fiction. I skimmed through the last few chapters because I couldn't take it any more. Clearly I am not this author's target audience.
