Roanoke

This novel is rather unique in terms of its structure, plot line, and sci-fi concepts. The characters are quite interesting and the space opera aspects of the book are well done. Overall, I recommend the series for both its entertainment value and readability. Enjoy!

Although an interesting subject I found the presentation style (mixing interpretation with quotation from sources) hard to get along with. It is also an investigation and "solution" that is almost entirely based on historical sources with no input from archaeological, natural history or genetic sources. I felt it was half of the story. Neither comprehensive nor a neutral overview of the subject.
