What manner of cross breeding is happening in this book :shock: Across between human and reptile, human and android, android and reptile? No thank you. 2052 is certainly looking nasty from this author's P.O.V. But I appreciate the strong imagination required to coin such characters

Thank you for sharing your review with us. There is a lot of information packed into a small amount of pages. I think I would rather like to read the previous books before reading this one to ensure I don’t lose the plot.

Latest Review: Creating Literary Stories: A Fiction Writer's Guide by William H. Coles

Post by dragonet07 »

The story sounds interesting, but I feel that I would definitely want to read the other works first to have a full grasp on the world that has been built before I read this tale. The fact that this story is only twelve pages long makes me think that it might be too much to be thrown into in such a small amount of space—of course, I’ve seen other speculative fiction writers pull it off, so I maybe this writer has as well. I guess I’ll just have to see. It’s too bad about the numerous errors, though. They could be an issue. Thank you for the helpful review.

Quite an intense storyline for just 12 pages. I think the world building and character development would be something to look out for in this book. Thank you for a detailed analysis.

The book review was quite expressive of the books content however, I will pass on this type of novel as its so unrealistic to be imagined.

Thank you for the review, I enjoyed reading it. This book has a lot of action going on in just twelve pages, and it sounds like an interesting read. I think that I will give this book a try.

Latest Review: Worldlines by Adam Guest

Post by Khristian Misola »

It is really difficult to do world-making that is both futuristic and would have historical elements and highly technological components to support it. I applaud the author for venturing into writing something as complicated as this especially as it seems to be some kind of a series. Anyway, kudos to reviewer for writing an awesome summary and an honest review!

usually find it quite hard to wrap my head around sci-fi novels, but from your review it looks quite enthralling and adventurous. I will definitely check it out. Thanks for your thorough review.
