Surprisingly not a bad start to a series. Wasn't crazy about all the characters. Skylar bugged me. A LOT! She is supposed to be this strong trigger happy female and is brought down with a look by Rico at fifty paces. I am getting sick of strong females that don't even put up a good fight. 
 Captain Tannis & Al were exceptions in this story. They just weren't included enough. I felt the ending was flat & very obvious.
