![]() ![]() ![]() There isn't much depth there beyond the titular character Damien, and even with him, it's pushing it to say he is deep. The elephant in the room is the characters. It's a hop and a skip between planets, starbases, and the vast emptiness of space in this omnibus. The story is equal parts light thriller and adventure. One such example is a mention that real-estate on a space ship is cheap, but mass is not. ![]() The world building is done best when he writes in these nice little touches that are so easy to miss. The characters are paper-thin here, but Stewart more than makes up for that with his world building and sometimes legit surprising story. Don't get me wrong though, in my categorization system, this is still an entertaining book as opposed to a good book. Instead I got a gripping series of tales. This book was a surprise for me, as I was expecting just a mediocre, slightly entertaining book. ![]()
