I'll say up front that sci-fi is not usually my thing, but I got this as part of my DarkFuse subscription, and just about everything they put out is entertaining and well-written, so I gave it a try.  While it is definitely sci-fi, our main character is a PI, and there's a very pulp-noir feel to it.  It is set in the Punktown universe, though most of the story is set in a prison that's not actually located in Punktown.  There are very dark aspects to the story as well, which appealed to me as a horror fan.  Overall, the characters were engaging, the pacing was good, and the story line itself was fascinating and held my interest, so I very much enjoyed it, despite the sci-fi trappings.  I imagine sci-fi fans, especially those that don't mind dark stories, will love it.
