I've never reviewed before, but I saw someone say on here about it being a creationist book. More like ancient astronauts or alien origin. That's a common Sci fi theme... The crazy thing is, the overall plot seems to be very similar to Star Trek Next Gen episodes: "Conspiracy" and "The Chase." But, I guess Star Trek is kinda like the Simpsons of Sci-Fi, they've done everything.
Most of the space battles were pretty one sided, not in the way you'd expect. And as with a lot of TV style Sci-Fi, "don't ask, don't tell" when it comes to the science. Don't expect Larry Niven or Asimov. But, like all my favorite TV and movie Sci-Fi, it's a guilty pleasure and it's not trying to pass itself off as hard SF, at least I hope it isn't. Otherwise, I'd remove a couple stars. LOL
Narration was good. A bunch of different character voices, which I like. I will listen to the sequel when it comes out. It sounds Like Tarken is going to kick some alien as$ or punch it 6 times.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
