This is a terrific introduction to SFR for those who've never read it and/or are afraid to try it due to possible Tech. There's no Tech in this story. It's much more of an SFR that reminds me almost of a cop novel.
The characters are engaging and interesting. There's no overload of sex or cussing, though there's a bit of each. It's a fast read.
As an SF fan did I long for more SF? Yep. It's really vague in this story. I missed some of the same things that the other reviewer did--the alien language and names, explanations about the aliens and Seneca's abilities, etc. But I still enjoyed this anyway.
Having read several of Ms. Barry's Un- novels I did find this one a bit more predicatable and more like an old cop movie than that series.
Will I read the rest of this series? Yes. Maybe they'll go into the aliens in more detail. Was I happy with the ending? Yes. Even if I could see it coming.
