Excellent beginning. This story grabs you from the first page and doesn't let up. The writing is clear and doesn't get in the way of the action - and there's plenty of action. Also, the Ghosts? Creepy as hell. Not sure I'd want to read this book before bed.
You really feel for Talin, for her loss and grief at losing her Shield / partner and her fear that she will no longer be accepted as a Striker without him to speak up for her, as she is a refugee.
I can see this book being an adrenaline-filled blockbuster, and would not be surprised if it's picked up for a movie deal.
