Title: New to Sci Fi? This is a great introduction to the genre!
Review: For being such a quick read, it is commendable that the author was able to touch on so many different aspects of Sci-Fi. Without really fleshing out any one aspect, you will find many different types /styles of Sci-Fi being introduced: Military flashbacks, Augmentation, Cloning, Alien Mind Control, Genetic modification, CyberPunk, Space Cowboy, Manifest Destiny. All of this is delivered using a soft approach which doesn't take the reader out of this solar system and doesn't jam any hard sci-fi or new vocabulary onto the reader. In this aspect it is much more approachable to readers who are new to Sci-Fi. Moreover, the plot and sub plots will keep even the most seasoned Sci-Fi readers well entertained and suitably misdirected until the last page. (cover art was a missed opportunity)
