“I’m alone in my head and that’s where 95% of my problems are. “

I love sec unit.

and sec unit 2.0 and sec unit 3.0)

I typically find the action scenes in this series a little boring but that’s because I also fall asleep at on screen action scenes. 

Can’t wait to see where it goes next.

The return of a certain beloved character deserved a full length novel, and we got it!
So much fun to see different character's paths converging, and get enough of a page count to read a more involved adventure. Another great read in this series!

This is a re-read since it has been a long time since I caught up with the series and I forgot how good this installment in the series is.  It’s a huge culmination of what happened previously seamlessly leading into uncharted territory.  There is a lot to say about what makes you you.  I especially appreciated the self awareness of trying to figure out your purpose in life.
