The story premise, while not completely unique, was novel enough to still make it interesting. The characters were portrayed in a no-nonsense manner, from the mercenary team to their soulless benefactors. The alien creatures were ruthless and brutal and then they started learning. Lots of close calls, tragic ends and plots twists along the way.
Ryan W. Aslesen writing was very good and Jeffrey Kafer narration performance was perfect for this type of novel.
Although I enjoyed the story, I felt that more information should have been provided as to why the alien species was onboard the ship in the first place.
If you like fast-paced, adrenaline-laden action, you should enjoy this book.
