"Betrayal on Triton" is an chrome-knuckled, action-packed thriller! The book features highly responsive mecha which are piloted by sharp-tongued mercenaries. The mercenaries battle to protect their monetary interests from mega-corporations and their private armies.In the opening chapters, author Ryan Henry immediately drops you dead in the center of a Martian warzone. This space opera features the elite squad who is arrested by the Lunaris corporation. Throughout the book the anti-hero, Ethan, balances his humano-android romance all while trying to retain the pieces of his scattered humanity from the planet Mars to the moon, Triton.Henry put lots of intricate details in the landscape and the book's savage environment. This raunchy military sci-fiction drama strikes a slight comparison to Robert Heinlein's series, "Starship Troopers" with bug-like robots attacking the crew. It is also reminiscent of "Aliens" and the "Riddick" series but with amazing syntax and story structure. I especially enjoy the way the dialogue is fashioned as means to expose each character. Mind you - the intensity of the moment warrants all vulgarities."Betrayal on Triton" is a refreshing addition to the sci-fi genre!
