Thanks for the honest review! I’m never a fan of a series story that’s missing a sense of resolution, and I’m additionally not fond of books that have been published seemingly without a good grammatical polishing. I’ll pass on this one!

I am truly sorry that the three plot lines never truly converge. How exciting the novel would have been if they did! Yet I trust that the author will graciously receive your critique. I wonder who will emerge as the main character, Tatyana, the xeno wrangler or one of the lizard-people? Great review.

After reading your review, I think I'll give this book a miss. Despite the promise of a good story, having 3 plot lines that do not converge does put me off. Thanks for your review.

I'm really not into space books even though this has a very interesting plotline. Good job on the review.

I think that the author bit off more than he could chew as the expression goes. I think that the author wanted to create a novel that had more than one story line while simultaneously a fantastic universe. I love that he was willing to be adventurous with his writing, but including more details about the characters would have made the book more complete. I also think that a three star rating could be obtained through better editing.

Your comment about the triple plot line had me intrigued, but I got left hanging out in space with that third one! This series would be acceptable if all the books were available. That way one could continue with the second book and discover the resolution of the various plot lines. Thanks for your honest review of this book!

I usually love space adventure stories. Would have to give it a read to see how it is, but I agree that grammatical and spelling errors are a huge annoyance. Thanks for the great review!

I would be one of those people that "crave a sense of fulfillment" from reading the ending. But I'm sure there is enough in the book that will please its audience!

Thanks for your insightful review of this book. I am an avid reader of science fiction novels and this book looked so promising so it is truly disappointing that the author falls short on so many aspects of the novel. It sounds like the author should have taken more time with this book to really flesh out the various parts that need attention and truly bring it and the characters to life as well as giving readers a satisfying story to read. I think that I will go ahead and check this book out since I am forewarned to know and understand it's short-comings.

This plot sounds promising but its a shame how it wasn't up to the mark. If only every book edited professionally, however your review definitely was. Kudos. Thanks
