High energy. Lots of neat technology

Exciting story and great reader. A solid fast past adventure! Characters are well developed. There are also a bunch of fascinating future technologies. Everting come together in the end

Good story, good characters, amateurish prose.

I was off and on on this book. The story was engaging to start. Developed ok. And the technology and science was good. However, the author has a somewhat amateurish style with the characters thoughts. He doesn’t seem to trust the reader to understand the emotions and thoughts. So he repeats the thoughts over and over and over. Yes, we get that she doesn’t doesn’t know “what the helm am I doing here). You don’t have to say it 5 or 6 times in two pages. Later in the story, you get why the author seemingly emphasizes what each character is thinking, but it isn’t necessary to drive it in with direct statements. We can follow along just fine. Also, a repetitive confrontation between two of the robots. Gets a little old.

Author has potential. He’s obviously up on science and can write a glowing plot. Just needs to trust the reader more.

GREAT LISTEN

This was a great listen, I recommend it to any one with a love for anything space!

Science Fiction Adventure

This is a unique, interesting, imaginative science fiction story with plenty of suspense and occasional humorous moments. The characters are likable and relatable. The futuristic technologies are plausible. The plot moves along at a good pace in keeping with the suspense of the story. The narrator (Sarah Pavelec) has a pleasant voice which is easy to understand. I was given a free review copy of this audio book and am voluntarily leaving this review.
