Review: Kind of Like Taking Only One Bite from a Very Juicy Apple

I won't reiterate what so many previous reviewers have so eloquently stated about the content of this book.  I always enjoy Lindsay Buroker's novels and world building and while I enjoyed this book, it did not wow me. I like the cast of characters. The witty banter between the more practical archaeologist, Delia,(Del), and the geeky, outlandish, programmer, Simon, is top notch. I can't wait to find out more about the alien bikers, and the mystery of their coming to Earth. I want to know about the sudden appearance of Del's childhood friend. I feel that we didn't come away with a lot of information about the characters, I guess that I was expecting a little more. They were a little flat to me. I do realize that this is a start to a series and there is an adjustment period to setting up the world.The action in this book is well plotted out and I didn't feel like there were a lot of lulls to bore the reader.That said, I will read the next installment in the Rust & Relics series. I am intrigued with what the coming novels will bring. Buroker has the beginning of a very unique series, with a potentially great cast.
