A good fast paced read. Interesting characters and a fresh twist on a standard plot. The writing is rather good for a 1st book, dialog is clean, action is good, plenty of mysteries in mysteries. As another reviewer noted, the hero is insanely naive. I guess you can chalk it up to him only 16 and being born a slave, but one could also surmise that that kind of environment would make him very wary and ruthless. The Tech is what it is, its never gone into much in detail. Nor is much explained about how this universe works.The author has done a fine job for a first book, but it could have been better as I'm sure he will be with more experience. The price point is too high IMO for a 1st book. I almost skipped over it because of that, but I wanted a book now so here we are. If you want to get noticed quickly as a new author, you need to be at the 1.99 - 2.99 price.I'll buy a sequel if the price doesn't spook me.
