I like the idea of the AI Solomon and his mission of finding the best people. I felt some of the Ainatio scientists were rather flat, so I'd be excited to see a second book with more explanation and backstory on each character.

Love Karen Traviss and that's how I found this series. Took me the first 10 hours to really get into the story, mostly due to an uninteresting narration. Overall not a terrible post-apocalyptic story, just could've been 8 hours instead of 18.
