Coming to Dust is an excellent beginning to the new Faction Paradox series, this time from Magic Bullet Productions. This series does continue on from the last, but only really in a minor way. Right from the beginning I was drawn into the story, and I can't wait to see how it all plays out.
The world building added some new additions to my understanding of the FP world, but it didn't overwhelm me with technobabble, or weird concepts. It felt like it fit in with what had already been presented in the BBV series.
The voice acting was excellent, but with some notes. The actors do a great job, with special note of Gabriel Woolf's turn as Sutekh. His voice is like silk to my ears. The regulars from the previous run have been recast, and as such their voice will take me a bit to get used to. Justine going from a northerner to a southerner will take some getting used to. Also, the characterisation of Eliza seems off compared to her previous outing.
Overall, a great start, even if I have some adjusting to do.
