This book was passed on to me by a friend. I didn't think much about it at first but the synopsis sounded interesting enough so I gave it a try. My friend had told me it was a good read, fast paced with lots of action and he was right. The first chapter is a bunch of dialogue, but all of it builds the setting for events that are going to happen. By the second chapter the main character is introduced and it's time to lock and load. Colbosh the main character is hell bent on revenge; because an unknown party blew up the atmosphere generator on his world. For what we learn from the story Colbosh is the last of his kind. Even though he isn't completely a pure breed. Colbosh is an experiment between human DNA and his Race. To make this a little clearer Colbosh is basically a lizard with bluish green skin. Colbosh has a floating droid companion that talks for him; because Colbosh is unable to speak basic human language. His droid shares a mind link with Colbosh and is defiantly one of the unique characters in the book. There are a lot of other characters introduced in the book including pirates, led by man named Dante. Dante is a nasty character but in my opinion not as nasty as Admiral Frost. Frost is a main character throughout the book. It's through his view point we learn a lot about what is going on in the rest of the galaxy. We know from the very begging that Frost is a bad guy, but at one point throughout the story we discover that Frost isn't such a bad guy, but don't let that fool you. All in all this was a fun action packed book that I finished over the period of two nights. I think that anyone who is interested in action oriented science fiction should read this.
