Even so, I could not put the book or the others in the series down. I had to finish, I had to know... ...I will read it again too. Slight drop in suspense from 3rd book; still very good. Explosive rescue, force grown kids, cyborgs, implants, and space chases. The aliens have grown Morn's kid up fast, the asteroid has just blown up, and Nick actually rescues some people this time, including the usual suspects. Cue space chase and battle, as they still have the problem that nobody seems to like them, from aliens to the mining company. Working together may be harder than avoiding all this death and destruction given their sordid past. http://notfreesf.blogspot.com/2007/12...
