After the end of the Galaxy’s Edge series where the authors unceremoniously just dumped the series to finish it up, I didn’t have high hopes for them at all. But I wanted to give them another chance, sigh.
Well, this was that chance. It wasn’t bad, but it was not good either.
Now, I am absolutely open to the possibility that my disillusionment with the authors has now colored every interaction I have with them (ie, every book I read), but this didn’t feel like what I wanted.
So I’m done with these guys and I am done with the Galaxy’s Edge in any form. I do have a couple more books on my ereader, but I’m simply going to delete them off, wipe this series and add a different one. I’m tired of them continually disappointing me and since I have the power to DO something about that, I will.

From the Publisher
The Hunter Becomes the HuntedThe
fearsome bounty hunter Tyrus Rechs has laid a careful trap to kill an
elusive and powerful criminal known as Mister Zauro for crimes
orchestrated on the planet Detron. But unbeknownst to the bounty
hunter, another trap has been laid just as carefully… a trap for
Tyrus Rechs himself.
For Zauro is a Lizzaar, and Lizzaar crime
lords are not without their defenses.
Rechs is mere moments away
from finishing his termination when the counter-trap is triggered. In
an instant the tables are turned, the hunter becomes the hunted, and
it is Rechs who is on the run as he is battered by an army of
mercenaries, assassins, and war bots led by a mysterious and ruthless
killer named Mephisto.
Now Tyrus Rechs, the perpetual loner,
must rely on a growing group of unlikely allies if he hopes to
survive to see the end of… Mephisto’s Game!
