Not exactly hard sci fi; some of the science is a little inconsistent, but I was able to suspend my disbelief sufficiently to concentrate on the story. The themes are suitably mature and fleshed out compared to most apocalyptic books published recently. The scope of the plot necessitates a certain amount of character archetypes  in order to convey a wide enough cross section of characters without being a 400+ page tome. If the author allows the characters to flesh out more as the series continues, then this should be forgiven.
