Ryan Henry's "Betrayal On Triton" is an action-packed story based in a vaguely "Alien"-esque world surrounding the exploits of Ethan Riley, a battle-hardened mercenary with nothing to lose after he is forced to complete an ethically dubious mission, with some resounding impact on the universe at large because of what he discovers.Before hassling Ryan Henry about some gripes of mine, I can't emphasize enough the fact that this is an enthralling work that kept me guessing what would happen next - I had a very hard time putting this book down! Wonderful characters who you really wanted to root for, and intense action sequences. It's very clear based on the resolution of this book that a sequel would be possible, and I would welcome a sequel gladly!The main reason that this book lost a star is because of the dialogue, especially in the earlier scenes. I grew a bit tired of the author's use of cliches in dialogue and in exposition. I guess I shouldn't be surprised at grizzled action-hero type characters shouting "it's on, B*****!" and other such stereotypical banter, but the fact is the plot, characters, and setting are too good for this kind of talk. I was grateful to see that the cliches became rarer as I read past the first few chapters.All nit-picking aside, I highly recommend this book! Buy it today for a great escape!
