So I stuck with this series despite the first book sucking and it paid off.

Probably doesn't quite reach undying mercenaries smooth, but by adding good side characters (Kwon, Marvin and Hoon) and knocking off bad (tfw no gf) ones the series rights itself and rallies. The "son of" follow-on is almost better, just because the son is exactly the same character better practiced and the sidekicks are cherry picked from the first series.

Once I'd made it through the first three or so it was like I'd opened a can of pringles.
