Wow! I am very impressed with the writing & vivid inagery. It immediately draws the reader into the story. The end of the chapter was Totally unexpected! Now, I really want to know the back story leading up to it!!This section about the 'strange medal' makes me very curious, too..."As I gently set it back down one particular medal caught my attention. One I’d never seen before. One I’d never even heard of. A dark violet ribbon with three silver stripes through the middle held a hexagonal medal made of what looked to be lead. On it where seven stars connected into a strange foreign constellation. There was some writing around the outside in an alien script."  Alien??? Hmmm!Imerest & curiosity definitely peaked!! Can't wait to read more!!

It's a fun read Owen, and I like the anticipation you build with the reader, not knowing why and for what job he's arrived for. Once you discover who he is, the attitudes, thoughts, and actions of someone that's "just been hired", along with his attention to detail becomes brilliantly appropriate. I'm looking forward to chapter 2.
