I Can’t get enough!!!!

Amazing accuracy with processes and details! I’m not sure what are all in the series anther than these two, but I’ll find out!

75% is dialog during month of space travel

It's got an interesting concept but extremely slow build for entire book. only start if you plan to listen to entire series. its predictable though

nice title but has little to do with the story

There is no Chiral Agent in this book or the next. Also, if there is a Biogenesis War going on, nobody in the first two books knows about it.

The story is at its best in the beginning when the reader is not sure what's going on, but stretches keeping the main character ignorant for way too long. After that proceeds on a predictable path. It's a set up for future adventures with almost every single character introduced in this book or the accompanying prequel novella.

Taylorson's narration is serviceable but in no way outstanding.

Good, but a bit...sterile

The book is generally well-written and the overall story is interesting, but it's hard to warm up to any of the characters. There's nothing wrong with them, they just don't have distinct personalities, so the story come across as cold, distant. I don't feel motivated to buy book 2.

Military Hard SCI-Fi at its finest!!

Lisa Richman takes Military SCI-Fi to a new level!! A different type of a combo of Hard SCI-Fi with a realistic take on the future of the way a Tier one Special Operations Team will work…I am a retired Special Operator and the way the author leads us up and down the halls of a Spec Ops team in action is reminiscent of how they work now yet she elevates it to a higher level…I can clearly see how this would play out in a future scenario. Absolutely spot on military acronyms and chains of command, a comparison to the way SOAR and Delta work together to achieve an objective. Very well done in the area of Space Adventure combined with a spy thriller reminiscent of Vince Flynn. Excellent world building and top notch character development. You’ll lose sleep over this one, then add in the interesting genetic component and you’ll be thinking about this well after you read it. Great Physics including one of the holy grails of science, Quantum Entaglement! This hits on every level and is utterly visceral…you don’t wanna miss this…
