What did I think? Not bad, but not up to the quality of the Troubleshooters series. So far, (and granted, this is the first in the series,) I am feeling that Team Ten has single dimension tales, where Troubleshooters has multi-dimensional stories. Several different layers of events that all lead to the outcome.
