This was ok, but nothing overly wonderful. The story itself was a fine setup for a continuing mission. I can't really fault the story itself at all. That said, maybe it was the reader of the audiobook that turned me off. Either way, be it the writing or how it was read, it just seemed overly melodramatic. That kept taking me out of the story. When they end paragraphs of chapter with something along the lines of "And Sinclair lead them into the PITS OF HELL" with so much emphasis on the descriptor, its just too over the top. So something that should be dramatic ends up being melodramatic. It's really a shame too because the actual plot and pacing of the story isn't bad. The world he has created is very interesting, but I am not sure if the tone will keep me from wanting to pursue the story or not.
