I really enjoyed this book. I liked the protagonist and how the story showed he had a heart and went out of his way to help a little girl, even if it meant causing more problems for himself. I enjoy these types of ex-military turned mercenary or specialist or jack of all trades type of story where the hero is somewhat rough around the edges with a soft spot.I don't blame the author, but the new marketing strategy tends to be to give you just enough in the first book to hook you and lure you in to buy more. I don't mind reading series type books but prefer the ones that tie things up so you are wanting to go on the next adventure with the characters involved rather than being left hanging in what is basically just part of a single book broken into multiple parts. I like following the different characters, learning more about them, learning their history in different books so they all tie together, but it kind of gets annoying to get to the part the book has been building up to only to find the end of that book instead.
