Based on the let-down of the first GN in this series, I wouldn't have read this if I hadn't already had it on a shelf. Some of the same story problems exist here; no idea what the point of the arc in Italy was, how old any of the people on the team are, who the bounty-hunting aliens are, or why the characters make some of the (very stupid) decisions they make. The writer needed to pick an arc and stick with it rather than try to tell every story at the same time. ( )
