Pretty fun book. Never though that splicing a noir-detective storyline with a hardish scifi storyline could work so well.

I'm assuming that the sequels don't do that, but I could be wrong. I already ordered the 2nd book.

I hope the show turns out good. Seems a lot more grandiose than SyFy's budget allows.
I read these last weekend. Pretty enjoyable, but I actually liked the first one best. Was a little more personable, less expansive. The characters seemed more open and available. I thought the Julie / Miller duo was a great way to describe Miller. He became my favorite character of the series.

I was put off originally by the detective story descriptions as I'm not a fan of that genre. Decided to read based on the TV show announcement thread. Didn't get the detective vibe when reading though. Just a typical sci-fi/fantasy, me against the universe quest for truth kinda thing.
