The review is well written. Futuristic stories are not really what I am interested in, unfortunately. Makes me wonder how flow is. I am hoping there is some action, like while transitioning from earth, they run into dangers. As of right now I dont think I would read this one :cry:

Starting life on a different planet, but with people who might not want to change. I don't usually read science fiction, but this might be okay to read.

It sounds a bit sad that the book argues that humans wouldn't change much in such a new environment. One would hope that it would have encouraged growth and a contribution on everyone's part but the author argues that some will work harder and contribute more than others. Thanks for the review.
Interested in books that help one's spirit move beyond the ordinary.

A walk into the future Terra. Climate change and it's challenges will drive mankind crazy. I find the idea of moving into a new habitat in space quite interesting.

But one must always start from scratch, they seemingly forget. The skyscrapers, the space engines and internet connections were developed many years ago and in a progressive manner. That's why in every new place we have a hunter gatherer generation.
Thanks for the informative review.

Latest Review: Chrome Mountain by Ben Schneider

Just reading the review already forms the imagery in my mind of life in the new planet Terra. The new creatures found there like dragons and fork-tongued frogs all bring out the extra-terrestrial nature of this new life. It would be interesting to see if this party was able to find a lasting solution to the human race to the problem of a new planet to inhabit since Earth was simply disintegrating. Once you get past the editorial errors, it's a great read for sci-fi lovers.

Thank you for the review . And I think the science fiction about leaving the earth is exciting but I prefer we try to save the Earth . It’s not late

A science fiction book on politics and colonization. Sounds terrific!

Thank you for your review.
Unfortunately, I don’t think I’d appreciate this one, as it sounds like a mix of plots I’ve already heard before.

Great review. The creatures sound compelling as does the embryo lab. Sorry to hear about the editing job. Thank you again.

Two hundred years into the future looks like an adventure. A great review of this book leaves me with no choice but wanting to read.

Post by J+Jenkins63 »

I started reading the story, but couldn't get into it. It dragged at the beginning with too much passive description. Descriptions of people and clothing work best when mixed in with the action. I also came across a typographically error which immediately took me out of the story. On top of that I just felt like this story has been done before, and done much better. It's not for me.

I absolutely love science-fiction novels that focus around the colonization of a new planet, location, or space station. Between the promise of identified roles within the community, crazy alien creatures, and unique sci-fi concepts to aid survival, it sounds like the reader is in for a treat.

I find the “civilisation rebuilding” described in this book to be really interesting. The irony doesn’t escape me how closely it parallels the civilisation building from thousands of years ago!

I love the bit of science fiction in this book Eg embryo lab, unusual organisms, new planet to discover. Sounds interesting. Even though am not really into Sci-fi, I might just add it up. Thanks for the review.
