I was torn between a 4 or 5 star review. It came down to me still thinking about the nuances and things hinted at and left unsaid in the story the next day that pushed me to 5 stars. Its a great story on many levels. On the surface its quite simple, an angry, battle hardened young man, is at the right place at the right time to perhaps salvage the human race from extinction. Luck favors the bold. Then there are the aliens that perhaps are not what they seem, and real fiend or foe may be just as jumbled. Then there are the artifacts and their back story that is again perhaps misleading. The author has done an excellent job defining for the reader how this universe operates but from the perspective of how the Jelk wants us to perceive it. They are hiding much and deceit seems to be their favorite game.I want the next book yesterday.
