Some aspects (character development) of the book lead me to think this is a new inexperienced writer.  Some of the characters' actions seem particularly juvenile, but then most of the survivors are very young. Except for Emily Tuttle who is 8 or so years older than the rest of her peers and initially seems to have more perspective and maturity. She doesn't demonstrate much maturity at the end of this work, but then she doesn't get much help from her superiors in rank nor her superiors in years.The story is obviously intended to be the first in a series as it stops with too many unresolved issues. If there is a sequel I will certainly check it out, but I do like authors who write complete novels instead of serial tales.  Just one more reason to really appreciate D A Boulter who produces books with what I think is called a complete story arc, who has intriguing and well developed characters and who manages the action such that the characterization develops with the story.I gave this book a rating of 4 because I did enjoy reading it and the annoying parts were short enough and the quality of the written word was good enough that I will look for this author again.
