Pelquin's Comet

Ok, so I knew this was advertised as the first in a series, but I did not expect that even as I was reading I would be so aware of plot points which I knew were not going to be answered within the book. There is an awful lot of setting things up for later books which is something I dislike immensely and against which I react by refusing to buy anymore in the series.

It was decently written, if not exactly groundbreaking.

The universe created seemed somewhat strange - for instance, faster than light travel but cars with squealing tyres?

The book needs more proof-reading, with grammatical/typo errors and, more annoyingly, several references to actions or words by character A when it meant character B.
