I'm not going to lie; I think Battlestar Gallactica was/still is the best sci-fi on television. So, when I stumbled across the cover of Betrayal on Triton by Ryan Henry and saw that the cover art's mood smacked of Gallactica, I bought my copy.Immediately, I was sucked into a richly imagined universe, complete with sci-fi tech, rough and tumble space dwellers, and nods to many awesome genre predecessors. The language is coarse - Henry pulls no punches - so you aren't going to be reading any gentle "fraks" on this journey, but the dialogue is well-cooked enough that the expletives are simply seasoning. I was extremely pleased by the level of skill displayed by the unfolding story.The main character, Riley, is a quintessential leading male and I look forward to seeing Henry's universe develop further in future stories with him at the helm. If you're looking to get your sci-fi fix - and can handle a couple hundred pages of serious battle and language - look no further than Betrayal on Triton.
