First, let me say that I grew up on sci-fi and fantasy like most nerds.  And, let me also say that there are a lot of $0.99 cent e-books that could really use some polishing (grammar, proofing, even character development), but this is NOT one of those books.  This book is professionally written and really, really well done.The main character, Ethan, comes to you as he is: a mercenary with a shady past.  And indeed, some of the actions he perpetrates while you follow him are less than moral, but it doesn't matter.  You still root for him to find justice, safety, and love.  There's a lot of foul language in the first few pages, that either tapers off or perhaps I got used to it.  But, that's part of Ethan's character and it's certainly not overdone. For a short novel, the author packs a lot of feeling and character development and DETAIL into a short space.You learn all about the worlds that they inhabit.  I think my favorite part is that in this universe, humans didn't suddenly become solar system-hopping magicians in a few hundred years.  They're still confined to their own 8 or 9 planets, but it doesn't take away from the magic of the book at all.  I couldn't put the book down.  Well, I did, because I had to, but I finished it in one day and would absolutely love to read another book set in this universe.  I think Ryan Henry is a promising author, and if you love sci-fi, and are looking to be surprised by an Amazon Kindle ebook, you should try here. You won't regret it.Disclaimer: I received a copy for free in exchange for an honest review.  That being said, I'll probably spend the $0.99 just to own this ebook in my kindle collection.
