There are a lot of positives to this book. It's very well written; the dialogue flows amazingly well. There are practically no typos or grammatical errors (unheard of in ebooks!).So why would I award 3 stars? Because it's supposed to be part of a series, and it wasn't written that way. I read Parts 1-3 (highly recommend them, BTW - and it's on sale now, too!). There isn't a single mention of ANY character in any of the first 3 books Mind you, each of the first 3 was written with their own main characters. But characters I recognized, like Walt or the kid who befriended the alien (I forget his name) popped up in later books, after I thought their stories were told. Not so often that I got tired of them, just often enough that it was a pleasant surprise. "Oh, there you are again!" Walt was the main character in the first book, and then appeared briefly - and unexpectedly -  in both 2 and 3. It was a charming writer's "trick" that I haven't seen before and I really missed it in this book.This book is a great read on it's own merits, but if you're expecting it to have continuity with the rest of the Breakers series, you'll be disappointed.
