It's too bad about the errors because this sounds intriguing. I'm curious about this world that the author built. It seems like it's built fairly well, too. Thanks!

Agreed, it seems like such a well thought out and designed parallel sort of existence with a full range of character descriptions, emotions, motives, overlapping storylines, etc... The variety and quantity of errors surprised me, but I genuinely still enjoyed this quirky tale anyway! Thanks for reading and commenting.

The cover captured my attention. Thank you for reviewing this book—now I no longer have to wonder about its contents. The author seems to have packed quite a bit into these dozen pages. I can’t imagine this tale being any longer!

Hehe, I will agree that from the moment I saw the cover art, it also burned an image into my mind - urging me to seek a greater understanding of what might lie within! I have never before reviewed a sci-fi story, but I hope I did this one justice. Amazing what all can transpire in just a dozen pages.

It sounds like the author really managed to pack a lot into such a short story! Too bad there were so many errors as well, I hope they get cleaned up soon. Thanks for another enjoyable review!

Thanks for your kind words, and yes, with just a little more editing, this short story will be an amazingly woven snippet of futuristic adventure!

This story sounds intriguing. I hope that we are far from that future, though. It's unfortunate to hear about the errors in such a short book. Thank you for this amazing review!

I also hope that future is in a galaxy far far away, haha! Thank you for the kind words and comment.

I agree that this book doesn't suit to all audiences. It creeps me out. Perhaps this is not the usual sci-fi novel but it's apparently the "not conservative type. Not sure if I'll going to love this. Thanks

This is an interesting dystopisn science fiction novella highlighting war, propaganda,love, sacrifice, and betrayal. The book is temporarily free on Amazon Kindle and has an incitefully-written OnlineBookClub review. I rated the book 3 out of 4 stars. Congrats on the BOTD.

It seems that a lot happens in very few pages, so I am a bit concerned about the pace on this one. In any case, sci-fi is right up my alley, so I'll consider giving it an opportunity. Thank you for the review!

This story is so intense, it's surprising that it is a short story. This one and the others would definitely be an exciting read. Thanks for the review.

Sci-Fi is not my preferred genre of choice, but being that today's BOTD is only 12 pages, I'm going to give it a try. Never know, I might enjoy it and give some others a try. Thank you for the thorough review; it was very helpful! :-)

Stories that take place in the distant future or deal with space/aliens/time travel is not something that I enjoy reading.
