The first installment of a quadrilogy, this was okay. Some of the descriptions were a bit difficult to understand because the concepts were not fully explored. For example, an alien species without opposable thumbs can fire a rifle or weapon designed for human hands. Even the characters internally were puzzled by this but no explanation was ever given. Perhaps it will be forthcoming.

In my opinion, there also wasn't much description given to the tech. Not to the mechs, the ships or anything else that was mentioned. There was very little description of the characters as well. I guess this is what is meant by a plot-driven story. Overall, the story was good and the dialogue kept the story moving along.

Good, not great. Felt like I was missing something, I guess because while not directly a sequel, it's set in a world he created in another series. No real development but good for what it was.
