An interesting book. It had plenty of action, unusual adventures at times and really incredible weapons and gadgets. Some of those "gadgets" were a surprise. As was the neural network and various implants.
The loyalty and friendship between the team members was so good to read. Even the one special non-human member of the team, Intruder. Even this dog had enhancements, sometimes making it even easier for the dog to understand human interactions.
In the beginning chapter it took me awhile to adjust to the switching back to the events themselves and the special committee they were responding to. That and getting to know the actual team that Dent lead. While they were all pretty good, my favorite was probably "Armstrong Dent and the Crime of the Century."
It sure seemed like Backbone was the one that got shot the most on the team. He wasn't the only one but still just a thought.
My favorite phrase? " He's a newbie as green as a crayon". Now that one made me smile!
I do have to add there was a time or two when I flinched when a physical torture was described as well as some of a few other fight scenes. It didn't last long for which I was glad but I did flinch.
Just as a sidenote, not a fan of the cover. But then again, it does tend to get your attention.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
