Book: Balance of Terror by Kaz Agustin

Balance of Terror has a very good blend of fairly traditional scifi elements with bits of medicine, mercenaries, friendship, love, and sex.  I was a little confused at first about the motives of the two main characters, and the synopsis helped, but mostly, the book just jumped into the action, and things became clear pretty quickly.

The sex was politely written and not gratuitous, though not really necessary to the storyline.

I have to say that the best part of this book was the formatting.  Seriously.  I have read some relatively decent books on the Kindle, and the formatting is about 50/50 on whether or not it's going to be good.  Balance of Terror made it very clear where section breaks were, where chapters began and those things made the book so much more enjoyable.  While it was a good book all on its own, the formatting made it even better.

I received this book through Sandal Press Online, for the purposes of review.
