Good book in a series of OVER a dozen books. Start with the first of the series and watch as the characters grow. The universe keeps growing and the characters keep being pushed to keep up.
Started slow but once it got moving a really good read
Protagonist could have been a bit more assertive as well as inclusive. Why are so many female leads lesbians? Why make a point and dwell on sexuality?
Predictable, just the same old crap. Read other stories like it.
A nice story about a couple of kids saving space from the bad guys. I want to get more of this series.
A little too predictable and “young” for my taste. Not up there with Robert Heinline or Alan Dean Foster. I could not make myself finish it.
A great book with interesting characters that keep you reading
I love this series — presently on the third. Although filled with action, it is character-driven with lotsa sunlight between goodies and badies. What an imagination the author has! The details he includes makes these books almost visual experiences.
enjoyed it immensely looking forward to the rest of the series
Great read.
Good book, finished it in 2 days.
Probably for younger crowd. Hard to follow.
So many modern books of this genre are not well written. Someone has a story in their head and they write it out, ( I applaud and encourage that!), but they don’t really have the tools in their box for it. Think about the mastery of language possessed by Clarke, Asimov, Heinlein, etc.
McFarlane’s style and skill are reminiscent of some of CJ Cherryh’s “Down below” writing.
Well written
