Honestly this is the best book for whom,who love to read Science Fiction Stories. There were many errors which I have found in this story but its ok.I did find "From Earth to Terra" quite good and I love the character of Amanda and Paul.

Thanks for the review, the story sounds more adventurous in nature and such books are in no doubt very interesting but the editing errors therein can distract the flow. However, it's worth reading.

I am curious to read more and find out what happens to Paul and Amanda on Terra, especially considering the conflictual relationships between the colonists and the completely new living conditions. Thanks for an excellent review!

A well organized sci-fi adventure that involves migration from planet Earth to planet Terra where they have to begin a different kind of life. Written in third person omniscient, the writer is well equipped to balance both the future and past settings.

I like Sci-Fi books and this one sounds exciting. I wonder how the settlers will manage their lives on the new planet. They still have their modern technologies like the Internet, 3D printers, genetic engineering and others but at the same time they have to turn to the simplest actions people did during the hunter/gathere period. It will be interesting to see how they do this. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

Great review. This really sounds like my kind of book. I love what I call 'soft-science fiction'. I am always interested in the interactions between people and how they deal with each other in a strange situation. Having to deal with strange native beings adds another twist. It will be interesting to read how they deal with the people who aren't carrying their share of the load. This one is going on my to-read shelf for sure. Too bad about the errors, that always make it tough to really get into a book. Congrats on BOTD!

I don't usually care for books about people who relocate to other planets - overdone, been there-done that, & all - but this one sounds quite intriguing. People being people, of COURSE we won't get along but for so long! I also really like that Abraham "is in charge of the embryo lab, where babies are formed in gestation tubes"; the biblical Abraham was promised that his descendants would be "as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore", so it seems quite apropos...Thanks so much for the introduction and awesome review.

The storyline is a beautiful one. I am a big fan of sci-fi which touches on space and the future of humans and this seems to do the deal. I would love to gain some foresight from this book..

Thank you so much!!!

It is always interesting to relate books set in the future with current scientific developments. I understand that there are actually studies being conducted to grow human embryos to full term babies outside of the womb. This should be a good read. Thanks for the review.

Reading review reminded me several TV-Shows, which I really liked) I don't know why, but this kinda survival scenarios appeal to me, especially when describing world is presented in some detail. Example to this is referred technology - in my opinion, exactly this things make difference between shallow and whole verse.

World building is so important in this type of story; I'm sorry to read it was a bit disjointed. I'm highly interested in this book anyway. I love the concept of having to move to another planet and reading about how it would all work out. I just read The Martian and thought it was amazing. I just wish Mars were a little less dull.

Great review! I am not a huge fan of stories set in the future nor do I care for settings on a different planet. I'm sure it'll be great for the right person.

I liked it and I might read it. The plot seems complex (in a good way) which I found impressive. Thanks for the review.

Thank you for the candid and in-depth review. The plot sounds sort of too hackneyed to me. Lot of science fiction novels keep rewinding the same old topics in different wrappings.

Stories about people forced to live in environments different from their own have always fascinated me. The dragons, frogs, and scavenger spiders sound like an added bonus; I may have to check this one out. Thanks for the review, hsimone
