I received a complimentary copy of this e-book for review.  This was a good fast-paced scifi thriller with a cliffhanger ending making you want to read the next book to find out the fate of the hero.  There was a ton of detail into the universe and it inhabitants but at the same time I felt like it was just the tip of the iceberg.  I liked how the few worlds that were introduced all had their own distinct feel and culture and there were a multitude of crazy alien species.  This book definitely felt like the introduction book to the trilogy so I think the author had to or maybe chose to leave out detailed descriptions of many of the different characters.  There was plenty of action in this book, the main character never sat still.  As a result I felt like I couldn't really connect with the hero as much as I wanted to because you barely get to know him, you just know what he is fighting for.  There was almost an emotional detachment from what was going on around him.  Still I am excited for a sequel as it left us in a bit of an unknown.
