Rating: 5 out of 5

'Betrayal on Triton' is a very descriptive, action-packed, mercenary themed novel with a foul-mouthed 'Merc' as the protagonist going by the name of Ethan. If you are the sort of reader who loves guns, cool ships, action, betrayal, complicated relationship drama with one type of android while another type assaults you in the most violent and creative ways all set in the midst of a futuristic deep space setting- this is the novel for you!The author does an outstanding job of wrangling his readers straight out of the gate and keeping them going with peaks and valleys of action, clever realistic dialogue riddled with profanity by well-developed characters (particularly the protagonist). The descriptiveness draws the reader into the world so that the reader finds themselves immersed within it all. The first person point of view and the way Ethan speaks is as if he has just brought you, the reader, on as a wingman trainee and you have to get up to speed quickly or fall prey to the consequences of the harsh surroundings. It is a fun, refreshing, speeding vehicle careening on one wheel kind of ride. You will enjoy. I do not often give 5 stars to new authors but I give this one that rating based on the following main criteria:-I did not see any major technical issues that jumped out and distracted me-The plot structure and character depth were both well developed-The narrative point of view and the colored dialogue were clever, uncontrived, sincere and entertaining-Overall, an entertaining, intriguing read
