"""Featuring geometric spot-art images of attack drones and bladed weapons, this all-action U.K. import is written in staccato prose, presented in short, spaced-out sentences and paragraphs . . . . Like the opener, this episode ends with a twist that will have readers curious about picking up the next volume.""--Kirkus"
