I quite liked the first Sten novel, it makes no great claims to be great SF, but was better written then I expected and quite an entertaining read. This one is not quite as good, the story was a little confusing but still worth the effort. If I have a gripe it is the Scottish character and his speech is written as it is presumed he pronounces, and you sometimes have to read the same passage a couple of times to understand what he is saying. I desperately wanted him to be killed off but sadly he made it through. There are, however, a lot of nice touches and the series does seem to have some life to it!
