Meh.  It's good for what it is, which is a random fighting match between a CDF modified human and an alien, but it doesn't really have much of a point and the humor is mostly a kind of slapstick that I don't really enjoy.  That said, it was a somewhat enjoyable read and seems to do what it set out to do and did it well.
