Thank you for your review. At first, I was intrigued by the premise and 3-D printers and hunter/gathering activities in the same timeline. But I think I will be passing on this book. I have read too many books lately containing too many errors to make them enjoyable.

Planet conquest is becoming more realistic and relevant every year. This book may eventually change from science fiction to alternative history in a few years, and that alone makes this worth a look.

It's annoying that there would be so many typographical or punctuation errors, for it to detract from what sounds like an intriguing story. I still plan to read it because I can sometimes look beyond those. Also, I'm fascinated by stories that show a potentially positive outcome to our terrible treatment of this planet, and that maybe, humanity could survive. (finally, my fiancé has twin daughters, one of whom he named Terra, so I always love seeing that name and spelling).

I just downloaded this book and the beginning sounds promising and I can't wait to really crack it open and see what it's all about. This review gives me hope that it won't be a waste of time, nothing worse than reading a book and getting halfway through and realizing you just can't finish it. I'm glad it's not a usual "alien or bad guy on board ship, everyone is dead, quick, run and hide book." I feel like that's just overdone but an actual book about colonizing a new planet with new species and environmental hazards sounds like a good time if it's done correctly.

I enjoy Science Fiction and Fantasy a lot so this book is certainly for me. I am also a fan of survivor type tales and the story of these people living and surviving on another is also compelling. Despite the errors in the book I think that I will enjoy this.

The book is worth reading to me because of the scientific and technological portions in the story. I enjoy reading books that fall in the category of fantasy.

This sounds like an interesting, speculative science fiction tale. It’s too bad about the editing, it really takes away from the credibility and looks unprofessional. Thanks for your review.

While I like the idea of visiting a new planet after the earth's extinction and people finding their own role in it, I feel like I would be distracted by the grammatical errors and the inconsistencies in how the world looks like what was written in the review. I'll need to think about it.

Transitions to new environments could prove to be very tough and challenging; especially when it is between two planets.I can imagine the adventure in this book and would love to read it.

I often read books from the SciFi genre, this story sounds intriguing. This new world holds more than anticipated. It will be interesting to read the about the characters and how they assimilate in this new world. Great review. :tiphat:

it sounds like the book is teaching us on division making since Amanda and paul decided to look forbeter life in a new planet without the knowledge of new planet, later it sims like they regret, I love the book since it teaches me to not rush on life that I don't know. thanks for the book.
