Kalian Gaines has a secret; he just doesn't know it yet. He looks like us, he lives like us...but he is not one of us.

Kalian knows nothing outside of his mundane life teaching history on 30th-century Earth, until a day like any other triggers a series of events that will tie his fate to that of humanity.

A human handprint, embedded into a rock with alien script, is discovered on a moon that mankind has never set foot on. This discovery holds a secret, which will sweep Kalian into the heart of a conspiracy that has corrupted the galaxy for 200,000 years.

Fun, doesn't try too hard. Bingeworthy.

Overall, this was a good book and a strong start to a series. It definitely made me get the others in the series. It is a fun flight of fancy with scifi flavor. The characters are a tad bit flat or predictable at first, but not distractingly so. The universe is extremely interesting and I honestly wish the series were longer because of the potential.

Lackluster character development.

I mean it was enjoyable enough. But that I mean that I was brought in by the cool book cover with the cool guy and the glowing ball of plasma energy in his hand.

But the rest was meh. I enjoyed the book and wasn't truly bored until maybe the few end chapters.

Something about the fight scenes gave me no suspense or excitement.

No character was really lovable or enjoyable to listen to. I never had a pov character where I went "yesss this chapter is gonna be fun" or what have you.

Still. I'm a sucker for superpowers.

Differences between the ebook and audiobook are annoying.

Over all, this is a fun read. I like to listen while I am reading, and there are passages from the audiobook that read differently in the ebook. Aside from that, the reading is done quite well.

gr8 book nice imagination.

loved it. This is what I like about sifi. Thinking out side the box. New insights to the worlds of the future.

Great book, somewhat bad layout

The plot and everything was great, but the sudden changes from one character to another threw me off a bit at times. Would like to see a better separation or distinction between the changes of characters and maybe some kind of alert as to from who’s perspective we are now viewing from. Other than that, I don’t have anything bad to say about this book.
