This was a solid little military scifi novel. The focus of the plot is a group of people getting off this mysterious planet they have apparently crashed on, despite having only a handful of crew between them. The crew definitely goes through some trials, especially when the truth of the planet is revealed.
It was also very slow build, and I was definitely getting a bit of an Alien vibe thanks to the creepy atmosphere. The end of the book does a good job of setting up another book in the series. I am definitely interested in seeing more from this world.
I enjoyed the main character's voice. He had a snarky attitude and a somewhat improper humor at inappropriate times, but it made parts that were tedious to the characters a great deal more fun to read. The other characters were also well differentiated and never blurred together for me, which was good since such a small cast of characters requires them to stand out a bit. They all had their own backgrounds and personal motivations that tied into the mystery of the plot.
Overall, a solid three stars and I will be on the lookout for the rest of the series.
