Endeavor's Run is a sci-fi and fantasy novel Tobin Marks wrote. The book tells us about a starship and the adventures of the crew members who were sent on a mission to an unknown planet.

After a mysterious message reached the Earth, Lieutenant Ni and the officer in charge of deep-space transmission decided to visit the IFC headquarters to let them know of their findings. They learned that a starship was being prepared on their arrival, but they were told to keep it a secret. Soon after, the starship named "Endeavor" and the crew members began their journey to an unknown planet named Aqueous, inhabited by higher beings and dragons. Their mission is to solve the mystery of the disappearance of the "Starship Monarch." But will their mission be successful? And what fate awaits them in Aqueous? You could only read the book and find out.

The book is a blend of science fiction and fantasy spiced with adventure. The characters have a distinct human warmth, and their insecurities and strength can be felt in their conversation and thought. We witnessed an example of this on page 314, where commander Hammär thought of his wife, who went missing on Monarch. The book keeps the reader engaged with fast-paced storytelling. The beginning of the book was confusing, but as I dived more profound, I began to understand each chapter.

What I loved most about the book were the characters, mostly Basil, who is called "Baseball" by Alex. The boy is so intelligent and intuitive that he sees everything differently, as seen in the fact that he couldn't believe the mission was to only look for the lost starship. He knew there was another reason why they were sent to Aqueous, and he told Alex of his thoughts, but the latter wasn't paying any attention. Also, Captain Jennings was a loveable character who, despite his past tragedies, still had to lead the crew, provide suggestions and also tell them what to do. Lastly, I love Alex and Baseball's friendship. Based on my perspective about the book and the absence of multiple errors, I would like to rate this intriguing book 4 out of 4 stars.

I want to recommend this book to lovers of sci-fi and fantasy novels with some added adventures. If you are comfortable with plot twists, I could recommend reading this book as well. It appears well-edited in my evaluation.

I really like science fiction novels and also novels with a great friendship. This is the best of both worlds. I am very interested in the massage that was received and the mission to look for the lost ship.

I really like science fiction books, and coupled with the way your review summed everything up, it really tells it’s an amazing book that one must read. Great job!

[Uwe Neufeld]

Just because it's a science fiction book doesn't mean you can't relate to the characters. Maybe I would relate to Alex. Much depends on how the characters are pictured by the author. Great review!

[Blessing E]

This is a book that is worth reading. One can get insights into what this book entails just by reading this review. Well penned by the author

[Diana Lowery]

The title of this book reminded me of Ender's Game, which I have taught for years in my freshman English class. Human warmth and insecurities is also a motif in that book.

[NetMassimo]

This seems like an intriguing science fiction novel and I like twists when they're well constructed, as it seems in this case, like the characters. Thank you for your great review!

[Ferdinand_Otieno]

This is an interesting sci-Fi fantasy novel highlighting a starship and the adventures of the crew members who were sent on a mission to an unknown planet. The book is temporarily discounted on Amazon Kindle and has an inciteful OnlineBookClub review. Congrats on the BOTD.

Endeavor's Run by Tobin Marks is a great piece about the interaction of humans and the outer space. I will read to know if the explorers succeeded in finding the missing " Starship Monarch"

[María Andrea Fernández Sepúlveda]

I'm not much of a sci-fi reader. Or a fantasy one, for that matter. But I do love a good plot twist and a nice friendship!
Good review!

Today's BOTD is a scifi novel that's filled with adventure, realistic characters, and plenty of twists & turns. Readers of the genre will be fully engaged, and will especially love the friendship between Alex and Basil. I'm looking forward to finding out if the crew is able to solve the mystery behind the disappearance of the Starship Monarch! Thanks for the helpful review!

[Grace Elkana]

There are so many mysteries to uncover, so many secrets to search out, and so many adventures to keep the blood pumping. I don't know if I want to be on this "Endeavour" ship. Good luck to the crew and their adventure. I hope the mysteries are unraveled.

[Julie Gebrosky]

While I’m not big into science fiction, I love a good plot twist. I'm interested to see what happens with Alex and Baseball. Thanks for the review!

[Brenda Creech]

Since I am not a sci-fi or fantasy fan, and I easily get confused about what is going on in a book of this type, I believe I will pass. I can see where the book will appeal to avid sci-fi and fantasy lovers since the storyline and characters are intriguing! Thanks for the great review!

[Aan Granados]

Basil sounds like a great character, imagine him being so intuitive that he had a feeling about their real mission. Can’t wait to read this. Thank you for your review!
