In a nutshell:I'm going to purchase the next book and see where it leads.I feel like the primary character needed to have a bit more age and experience... and perhaps a little more inertia to his intellect rather than just constantly winging it and winning against a clever antagonist.Felt kinda like "I grew up in the outback, now I'm kicking butt"Maybe something bridging or providing background... (another novel?) that would kinda put some meat on the character?I guess I'm saying the character's 'awesomeness' was explained in a rather uninspiring fashion.The setting is fairly well done.  The background characters are likable, even the bad guys.  Characters behave in a way that is quite reasonable to their personality and interests (ie, bad guys *not* making stupid mistakes by supposed overconfidence, the crutch of bad storytelling).
