A story about the struggles of building and acclimating to a new world sounds interesting. Unfortunately, I think the errors mentioned would distract me too much to enjoy it.

Being a sci-fi, obviously it is going to enter my library now. Something that I found fascinating in the book was emphasis on importance of natural resources. I found it mentioned in the review that on Terra they use internet and all but after sometime they realise that they have to use natural resources. Thanks for the review. It was quite helpful.

While reading the book, I notice some with the use of punctuation marks like period".". And also some misspelled words but maybe its because of typographical errors. But after reading the book you can get a lessons about the past and how you will learn from it.

It seems to be an interesting science fiction. The mix of past and future that is use of future technology and environmental resources simultaneously seems fascinating. I will definitely read it.

I just read a futuristic science fiction novel and it left a bitter taste in my mouth. Albeit the errors, I think this one might restore my hope in the genre. Thank you for tje superb review!

Thanks for your review. I agree with you that the errors were distracting and avoidable. I picked up one early in the narrative - a 'the' that should have been 'they'. And, like you, I also found the sample quite enjoyable in spite of those errors. I think it's a unique story, but still shows that humans will always be humans - some hard-working, some lazy.

Read the review and saw monstrous lake dragons. Got me hooked instantly. I love dragons. Let's see how they make Terra their new world.

A sci-fi novel about some set of people who relocated to another planet in order to save the human race. It seems like an intriguing book. Thanks for your comprehensible and interesting review.

This review tends to confuse me. I'm finding it difficult following the story line. I've read there are lots of errors. This book may not be for me.

This book seems interesting. I like science-fiction books. The plot of the book sounds intriguing with trying to save the human race. It’s too bad about the errors and the world-building being disjointed. Thanks for your review.

The creation of a better planet/world by the siblings, Amanda and Paul, that takes them to Terra is quite interesting. It looks like a good read. Sci-fi is one of my favorite genres and I will add this book to my collection. Great review.

Science fiction is very intriguing and according to your review this is very captivating especially when you understand the context of the past human activities that the writer has projected to 200 years into into the future

Though the plot is interesting but as the reviewer mentions about the holes of this book , I become disinterested in the book. Thanks for this honest review.

Too bad about all the typing errors you mentioned, but this book is still going to make my 'must read' list. The problem the author refers to is one of the most worrying issues in today's world. Should such a time arrive in the future where earth people are forced to leave in search of a better habitat, something like this story is probably going to be inevitable. The way the author has elaborated the group dynamics in a relatively small group of people will be interesting to read. Thanks for the review!
