"Sent to Watch" by David J. Lebenstein follows agents of the Interplanetary Intelligence Service monitoring 52 "Earths," focusing on Earth 48 with its right-handed natives. Amidst surveillance, agents in the British Empire encounter trouble and face a rising interplanetary threat. Intriguing and well-written, the book earns 4 stars for its detail and engaging narrative. Thank you for a great review.

Thank you for your great review. I'm glad you enjoyed the book so much. I don't care for science fiction or fantasy books. If I did, this sounds like a great read. I usually get confused with them though. I'm glad that it was professionally edited. It sounds like a book for those who enjoy this genre will have a great read.

The fact that each character is matched with their roles when they have to migrate to a different place speaks of the author's wonderful character development. Thanks for the review.

This isn't my typical choice, but a science fiction book about an Interplanetary Intelligence Service monitoring various "Earths" piqued my interest. The author skillfully differentiates characters across worlds while keeping the narrative clear and engaging. The suspense, twists, and turns highlighted in this review have me excited to dive in, as it sounds truly fascinating.

The way the author weaves together the stories of these agents on Earth 48, with their dual identities and adaptations, is pure genius. I loved how the book not only explores the sci-fi aspects but also touches on real-world issues and the human condition. The writing is engaging, and the characters are so well-developed that I felt like I was part of the story. The pacing is perfect, with each chapter leaving me curious for more. Another outstanding thing about the book is the attention to detail in the world-building—top-notch.

The Onlinenookclub reviewer had high praise indeed for "Sent to Watch" by David J. Lebenstein. In their interesting review it was stated that this is the best sci-fi-fantasy book they ever encountered.
An intriguing idea to portray many earths and have the story center around just one that is rife with right-handed people. The author develops each character well and there is a lot of action as the watchers take their places and the plot unfolds.
If you're going through hell, keep going.

I'm not a huge fan of otherworldly novels that are reminiscent of Star Trek or Star Wars. Regardless, I will commend the author on crafting a book of this magnitude that has great reviews and got the BOTD honor from OBC.
