Review: Exciting sci-fi novel with clever writing and a great character in Ness

I love the bad boy with a heart of gold character - Hans Solo in Star Wars, Malcolm Reynolds (Nathan Fillion's character) in Firefly - and now Ness in Outlaws.  Even though Ness is clearly a bad guy, he loves his daughter and is willing to stick his neck (literally!) out for her.  I loved watching the adventure unfold as he risked it all to save her life.  The character development in this book is really great and really makes you root for the characters.  I just wanted them to succeed - and for Ness to reconnect with his daughter (I am a softie... can't help it).  Overall, this is a really well done sci-fi adventure and I really hope that they have a second book coming soon.  I can't wait to see what will happen to Ness next!
