Better than I remembered - there's a real story there and some excellent characterization, not just a churn-em-out series. Which I should have expected, it is a Duane (and Morwood). I like both Joss and Evan, they're interesting people and not at all alike, though they mesh well (despite their fears). Now of course I need the next one, and any others that may have been written - I know Kill Station was, I owned it at one point. ( )
