This is gripping story that intrigues and paces itself very well and from a range of perspectives.
I found myself quickly drawn into the story, and kept in a pleasant tension of wanting more and yet being given enough to keep moving. All in all, an enjoyable read and sets up an intrigue for a bigger universe and intriguing sci-fi concept.
