I am always a bit cautious when starting a new series, despite glowing reviews from others. However, in this case, I needn't have worried. This first book in the series contains a universe so well-developed that I can imagine there will be many, many more tales to come. The characters, especially the main protagonist, felt well-drawn, unique and perfect for the story. I will certainly continue with the rest of this series, and I highly recommend it to my fellow science fiction/space opera readers.
