This books is being marketed to a YA so perhaps we are not supposed to be too concerned with logical and practical continuity and if so, this book is fine. It's basically a reworked Guardians of the Galaxy story in which a group of unrelated species, under the lead of a human from the outlying colonies. This is the first book in the series and it is about how they come together, a kind of slapdash jumping from frying pan into fire over and over.
We get some back story on each of the cast of characters and a good idea of their personalities and the role they will play in the series.
The story itself is too unlikely – among other things it's amazing how quickly the bad guys can steal, reverse engineer, replicate, and deploy a secret technology, and later, how not frightened they are by the idea that a tech they have built might destroy the universe.
Anyway, it's a quick read that's fine for kids.
I received a review copy of "Termination Shock: Interstellar Enforcement Agency, Book One" by Gillian Andrews from the author through NetGalley.com.½
