This sounds like a well thought out and well-executed novel. Looks to be a fascinating read. Fans of the genre should certainly not miss out on this. Thanks for sharing.

Your review did a great job of highlighting major focal points that would draw readers to the book. Unfortunately, I am not a fan of science fiction books and the time travel aspect tends to send me the opposite direction.

I am not a fan of sci-fi or fantasy so I don't think I would enjoy this book. From the review it sounds like it has a great plot and well written characters so it should appeal to fans of these genres.

While I probably won’t choose a book about aliens and futuristic military men with psionipath powers, your impression of this tale was enjoyable to read!

The plot sounds compelling, but I’m not in the market for this genre today. I’ll keep it in mind for the future.

With as much as this review is enticing, I am going to overlook this novel because science fiction isn't my cup of coffee. Good work

A science fantasy seems to be interesting.

When I first read the title of this book I was expecting something completely different. I agree with you that many times fantasy and science fiction novels can become boring and you want to finish the book just so that you have some kind of resolution. I like that the author used real life themes such as racial segregation and made it into a fantasy format. I have not seen this done before, but I welcome this kind of story line foundation as a teaching tool for humans to be kinder to one another.

The sample definitely clutches the reader hard. The mysteries of Andreas' past and powers are intriguing. But it is sad to know that even in the future, discrimination by race still persists.

This appears to be a highly in-depth book dealing with continuous evolving issues pertinent in today's times. I like that the book has twist and turns within twist and turns, and I intend to read it after the holidays. Thanks for the great review!

The title of the book hooked me so I read the free sample. Although I love fantasy, Sci-Fi is not always my cup of tea. The author does a good job of developing well-rounded characters with a meaty storyline. I will pass on this one but it seemed like you enjoyed the book! Thank you for the in-depth review.

This sounds like a truly interesting book with a lot of thought put into it and throughout it. I am an avid reader of science fiction novels and I love how good this one sounds. I'm disappointed in the grammatical errors but I'm hopeful that the author will get around to cleaning them up so that this book can be as good as it sounds.

Although 400 pages is a bit much, I do like fantasy/sci-fi novels that feature interesting worlds populated by aliens, so I may give this one a try. Thanks for the review, Cataclysmic. :techie-studyingbrown:

I enjoyed your review. I was a bit worried about number of pages too. Good thing that the author did a good job with it. Too bad for the errors but it is fixable. Good review!!
