Customer Reviews

One of the best stories I almost didn't read

I started the book in the morning and finished it in one read (day). The author has created characters and a situation that is both believeable and complete. Reading this story one can visualize as if the story was on a movie screen. This is a story telling feat only a few authors can achieve, David Weber comes to mind, but I am biased. If the publisher is up to his usual tricks there is another book in the queue. Hidden in the story are clues for two more books and I will be there for them.

Pulls you in, hard to put down.

I feel the author did a very good job on developing a complex and interesting society. The way the characters interacted made me feel involved. I have been waitng and waiting for a sequel!

Great story that I hope turns into a series.

The book is a fabulous story that you can't stop reading once you start. The author introduces us to a dangerous world and a societal structure that is unique, interesting and, in the end, a little mysterious. While the book does not leave you hanging, there remains enough unanswered questions for at least one more book. When the sequel comes, I'll be one of the first to buy it.
