Karen Traviss once again delivers a novel far better than anything based on the Gears of War franchise has any rights to be.

The writing was good. But there was very little - if any - character development. And also very little plot development... it was mostly just the prison... also felt weird getting this at book 5 when it takes place before all the other books... I can kind of see why but what happened at the end (no spoilers) but still felt weird.
