It's interesting that the story revolves around the Interplanetary Intelligence Service watching over 52 Earths. The sci-fi storyline is welcoming and thrilling. I might give this book a read in the future. Thanks for the review. Congrats on the BOTD!

Sci-fi is not a genre that I enjoy at all. I think is cause sometimes it gets just too technical, which in most cases are more boring than interesting to me. The multiverse theme is also to much for me, so I'll give this one a skip. Thanks for a great review. Congrats on BOTD.

This book is a thrilling sci-fi adventure that explores the idea of multiple 'Earths' and a secret intelligence service that's watching over them.

Thank you for your great review.
Sent to Watch by David J. Lebenstein appeals to senses as it is a "science fiction book about an Interplanetary Intelligence Service interested in watching the developments of different "Earths," about 52 in all." This is an amazing and captivating concept!
The agents sent to the British Empire get into trouble together with their team leader by breaking a significant rule adds a delightful twist to the plot and I do wonder as well what is their fate as a result,
The author's ability to "switch the names of the agents between their names used on Earth 48 and their native names in the course of the story" is rather skillful and I suspect adds depth to the reading experience .

The themes covered in the book are definitely relevant to our current world,
Congratulations on BOTD!

The idea of many Earth available in universe and some other planet overseeing it gives me goosebumps. What if this is real and we are not aware of the fact because of our lack of development in the field.
Also the way reviewer describes the book, it seems it's like a movie of 5 star. Probably gonna love it. 8) 8)

I loved this book! The concept of multiple Earths and a confederation monitoring their development is fascinating. The history of why agents are not allowed to interfere with the destiny of the Earths is also interesting. I also enjoyed the name and character changes the agents went through when monitoring Earth 48. Thank you for your informative review.

'Official Review: Sent to Watch' by David J. Lebenstein provides knowledge of the plot of the science fiction story. It focuses on the noteworthy aspects of the author's work. The point that this is a story of an Interplanetary Intelligence Service interested in watching the developments of 52 different earths is worth mentioning in the review. Also, as mentioned in the review, the Interplanetary Service faces the challenge of an upcoming enemy growing between the planets. The story highlights the issues of our world, opens our minds to the workings of the world we live in, and the depth of selfish human interests. Learning that the book is thrilling, intriguing, and informative was great!

Earth 48 sounds like fiction I would enjoy reading. I would like to join these agents in their interplanetary mission to Earths . I wonder why others were against the idea of joining their federation. Thank you for your informative review. :techie-studyingbrown:

Definitely not my cup of tea, because espionage and science fiction aren't the genres I enjoy. Especially with this infiltration business involved, it leaves quite bad taste, probably because I myself am a private person and the thought of someone always watching, taking notes makes me cringe.
