Customer Reviews

A good first outing

I read this book without ever having heard of the author, but when I finished, I began hoping that Ivan Cat would write more. Okay, so the storyline is basic, but some of the concepts, such as the predatory aliens who can possess and control their victims even after several HUNDRED years was pretty scary! I rather enjoyed this one. It makes a good light read.

Summary of this EXCELLENT book

This book is a TOTAL one-hundred percent Science Fiction Thriller. I've never been so immersed in a Science Fiction book ever! It's a must for readers that crave a scare and that can't stop turning the page until there aren't anymore to turn, cause you'll find yourself losing track of time with this EXCELLENT BOOK!

QUITE FASINATING!VERY ENTERTAINIG.

I agree with everyone who enjoyed the book.when I was finished it was hard to start another book.I finished in 3 days, faster than I've ever read a book of that size before.

A well-written, intriguing book. Well worth reading

This book is an excellent representation of two species, one human, one alien. The plot, with its continual twists and turns and revelations of the alien culture, with some insights into humans as a species, kept me guessing. I am an inveterate end-of-the-book reader, and was delighted when, not only could I not figure out the plot, but the ending itself was tantalizing enough to draw me forward. This is not a typical space opera; there are few shades of black and white, mainly gray. The interaction between the the main human and alien characters is fascinating, and sometimes tragic (I think - I'm still trying to get a handle on the ending). There are a few stereotype characters, but they are usually minor characters who impinge little on the story. The engine driving the plot are intriguing and sometimes thought-provoking. Early in the book, I was afraid I might have a plot somewhat like the movie "Alien" but was relieved to find it was not so. I continue to ponder the ending and plan on re-reading it to find the many parts I am sure I missed. I look forward to their next book.
