Not as good as the other Black Ocean series books but still solid. More than worth the 1 credit it took to buy them all at once. There were a couple characters that just drove me nuts which is why I could not give it 5 stars. Other than that I loved learning about many of the other races and their interactions with Argo and the AP characters. The other did a very good job at hinting at some characters and their relations/historys with characters from the other Black Ocean novels without relying on them. Well done, solid series, and as always Micheal Naramore is perfection.
