Like most Military/sci-fi novels, Betrayal on Triton is brutal and violent in an incredibly descriptive and detailed way. The life of a mercenary in this world is action packed and full of danger. The story is told from the perspective of Ethan Riley, who is a merc who has seen some stuff. Riley makes for a solid character who evolves throughout the story, He is a bad*ss that everyone can relate to The flow of the 1st person narrative is spot on and Riley is a great picture of the "Space Merc" character. The only problem that I had with the writing is that sometimes it was just too descriptive. The author would take a whole paragraph to describe some minor details like what a gun looks like. It didn't take away from the story, but it was sometimes annoying.To sum it up:-Cool story concept-Riley is awesome-Very Descriptive-Classic Sci-Fi VibeOverall, This is an original story built with some classic Sci-Fi elements. I'm pretty happy I read this
