New and interesting challenges, good camaraderie, some humor.

Fairly typical for a “Earth settlement “ kind of book, I have read other series somewhat similar, and this kind of fits that, plus, it brings some elements of cost of a new human settlement, Indeed, who would pay for such a thing, and what would be their motivationin f? Plus of course scumbag corporate types and weak kneed politicians. It is now in a phase where they are going on a series of quests to obtain an objective, it keeps climbing in difficulty rather than find new objectives to conquer, I do not like enjoy that stage, resolve it and on yo the next, but it is extended on and on. All in all a fun book though. Thanks to authors snd excellent voice acting by Scott Aiello, one of my faves.
