Review: Good, fast-paced sci fi adventure
Rating: 4 out of 5

“Betrayal on Triton” is one of the most fun books I’ve read in a while. Ryan Henry kicks the book into action with an amazing battle and betrayal, and continues the momentum straight through to the end of the book. The detailed description of the futuristic equipment allows the reader to visualize what’s happening, even when the gear might be unfamiliar at first. Henry starts into the book describing the future gear, and explains everything in a way that allows the reader to quickly move past the unfamiliar jargon and understand what the terms mean.The book is laden with profanity, so parents might want to consider a different sci fi adventure for younger readers.The plot of the book is fun, even if it’s a bit predictable. I knew what the final outcome would be, even if I didn’t know for sure how it would get there. Action scenes move into dialogue with ease, and then back into action with equal ease, all combining to propel the storyline forward with enough pull that the reader does not want to put the book down.I would have liked to see a bit more character development, especially with a few of the tertiary characters, because their attitudes seem a bit extreme at times, especially towards the android, Tori. At the end of the day, though, “Betrayal on Triton” is an above-average sci fi adventure that is an honestly good read.
