Very good story, sci-fi, military style. The narrator's voice works really well here.

The world building was very good and I could picture the protagonist in my mind.
The story is extremely violent which I am only stating for the benefit of those that do not want to read such books. But the violence is, in this case, the primary reason for the book.
I did enjoy reading it and know that I would recommend it to anyone that likes military sci-fi.

A good story, if too short, about Evan Gabriel's early days. A prequel to Umstead's other Gabriel novels.

This novella tells the tale of Evan Gabriel and how he becomes the special forces soldier that we'll see in the trilogy. The blurb implies that this is the revelation of his mysterious and haunted past, but I can't say that what he went through as part of the Zero Point program was entirely mysterious and haunting. Without having read the trilogy, I found Evan's past to be rather typical for such a story and the struggles he went through didn't really lift him off the pages for me. That said, I'm still intrigued by the premise of the trilogy. Hopefully knowing the past won't muddy the future too much. 2.5 stars.
