Novum : Genesis

I enjoyed Novum and would like to read more as the series develops. This first story gives a good introduction to the characters and setting, all of which seemed to be designed well with enough complexity to be interesting and believable without drowning the reader in too much detail. The character motivations are sound, as are interactions among them. There's enough to this book that it is a complete story, but it also leaves open enough conflict that there is plenty of room for story development, and the conflicts are important enough to leave you wanting to know how they are resolved.
