Thoughts on the Henry Haven-Harbinger section? (Possible spoilers)
I enjoyed the link for readers to find out more about CME and the NASA photo. That was unique.
Did you enjoy this section? Does it feel like it belongs in the book? Do you think it seems random?

I liked that part because it intrigued me to research more about the subject. However, you have a point with the build-up not going anywhere later on in the storyline.Reynaa wrote: ↑01 Dec 2019, 15:02 I did like this section and thought it was pretty enlightening, though the whole segment doesn't seem to go with the rest of the book. I thought the character of Dr. Kinney was built up but then didn't really go anywhere afterwards.

I agree, it gave great background information but then it felt like an unfinished storyline. I liked the Dr. character a lot.vermontelf wrote: ↑02 Dec 2019, 08:20 I think this section gave some needed background, but it could have been used more or given another way. I enjoyed this section, but the book would have been sufficient without it too.

I really enjoyed the links. I haven't come across that in many books, I think it's a neat tool for digital books.AntonelaMaria wrote: ↑02 Dec 2019, 09:52I liked that part because it intrigued me to research more about the subject.

I actually was confused when I finished that chapter and a new man (Steve) meets Rheese, I thought the new character was the Dr. who was going to be a main character in Honduras. I'm not sure why, maybe I'm the only one haha.

Not the only one I thought that too. I can't say anything about the links because I did this book as audio so I missed out on them.Reynaa wrote: ↑02 Dec 2019, 10:01I really enjoyed the links.

Inclusion of it gave an interesting perspective and insight, but as you said, its absence would have had little effect on the character lineup and storyline itself.vermontelf wrote: ↑02 Dec 2019, 08:20 I think this section gave some needed background, but it could have been used more or given another way.

That’s really too bad. I used the audible version and enjoyed listening to the book. Although, I do think the audio version is a small piece of why I felt the characters were underdeveloped. I think I am better at retaining details if I see them rather than hear them.Michelle Fred wrote: ↑04 Dec 2019, 13:17 The book seems interesting, judging by the discussions. Sadly, I downloaded the audible version and had a problem with it. I hope I get to read it someday.
I do hope you’ll give this book another try.

Yes, that’s it! It felt like an unfinished storyline even though it was referenced again later.Reynaa wrote: ↑02 Dec 2019, 09:58I agree, it gave great background information but then it felt like an unfinished storyline.
