Thank you for the honest review concerning this book. When I read the blurb my interest was immediately piqued. I am glad that the author mixes in creatures from that planet into the story. I'm honestly hoping that there are good descriptions and that the author doesn't gloss over these sub-characters. I am eager to read how the characters deal with this new planet and the obstacles they face in dealing with each other and this new place. I find the number of errors disconcerting, but I'm hopeful that the story will keep me engaged.

I think the storyline sounds very interesting. I think the errors would distract me as well but I might just struggle through it because the content sounds good.

This sounds like a book with great potential. Once the author develops it a bit more and fixes the errors, this will be a terrific science fiction story.

Thanks for the review. I'm not too much of a sci-fi fan and when I do get around to reading 'em, environment-themed ones aren't my first pick. Still, it might be fun to see how the newbies fare in a strange land on a stranger planet.

I think this science fiction novel has a great plot. I would have loved to read about humans leaving earth for a better planet. However, I do not like books with so many grammatical mistakes.

Terra is a fascinating planet, with monstrous creatures and queer insects. The scientific innovations in childbirth, the internet, and others are nice to be incorporated in this new home. It is really a protracted phenomenon in the future that Earth will become inhabitable, as what scientists are predicting even now. So, all in all, it is systems go for this novel. Thank you for this interesting review.

I love these kind of books. The authenticity of the subject draws me in the most, I like fiction piece that surround real-life situations or events. I think the reason they fled is so important to the struggles they seem to start having it will be interesting to find out how they surpass it. I usually do not like series books but I would like to give this one a try.

Thanks for your review, I really like to know about the errors cause that would have made me drop the book immediately. But now I know what to expect and I like that.

It’s too bad about the errors, but the unique creatures and the lab embryos make this book seem interesting to read. Great job on your book review!

As much as I love reading sci-fi fiction books I think I will have to pass on reading this one. I find some ideas in this book to be unoriginal, and I feel it's going to be one of those books that you can easily predict the next scene because of its "unoriginality". Now mixed with numerous error the reviewer makes the thought of reading this book more of a challenge. I hope I change my mind and try it. Thanks or the honest review.

The book sounds to be a one of a kind science fiction. I like what yhe characters stand for, rescuing the planet earth. I wish more and more people can do that before time runs out. Thanks for the review.
