Rating: 5 out of 5

Aleksandr Voinov writes some really excellent sci-fi and military books. This one is no exception. It fits in to the same universe as "The Dark Edge of Honor," but is completely separate. Every character in this book is believable and flawed. I love the way he pulls you in to a character's life without making it seemed either contrived or boring, too.Kyle was injured by an alien Glyrinny weapon and left needing prostheses in order to walk. He therefore jumps at the chance, no pun intended, to earn enough to actually repair all the damage done to him by another Glyrinny shapeshifter his government wants quietly hunted down and captured. What he didn't expect was to be so drawn to the man he suspects is the shapeshifter, or the bits of information he learns along the way that make him wonder just who the bad guys really are.The only drawback I can find is that the book was so short. I would have loved to follow these characters into more and more of their lives. So the book is short, but very effective. I agree with other reviewers that it and we are all crying out for a sequel.This book was receiver for review from netgalley.com
