This is one of those Sci-fi stories that follows someone's life. These can go two ways, one where the character becomes an implausible superhero, fingers in every pie, with the perfect scheme, and another where the story meanders so much that you loose all will to live and wish the author would get to the point.

This book balances the two sides well. It's not an action story, but there is lots of action, it's not a slice of life story, but it follows Mariska's coming of age.

I felt connected to our protagonist, and she's very human, living and growing. It does get a tiny bit slow about half way through, but then it picks up again. My only complaint I suppose is that she maybe is a little too mature for a 20-something year old.

I think you should read this book. It's good.

I couldn't really muster up any sympathy for Shane/Jo and Noel was just kind of boring. The two MC's of this story were almost impossible for me to engage with, especially since I found two of the secondary characters much more sympathetic and interesting. I would rather have read their stories. From what I understand one of them will be getting their own book but I'm not sure whether he will have a voice in the narrative or not. Unfortunately the other character that I liked and wanted to read more about was rather abruptly killed off near the end of the book. I found Jason a more likeable character and honestly wouldn't have minded if Shane/Jo had to die to save Jason.

This series started and finished for me here. Disappointing since I enjoyed the Cost of Repairs series for the most part.

Una muestra de lo que Creative Commons hizo posible, cada pagina consta de una historia diferente donde organizaciones, escritores, músicos, fotógrafos y más obtuvieron grandes beneficios en abrir sus creaciones, todas interesantes. Da una buena perspectiva de lo que se puede hacer y conseguir aplicando licencias CC.

Al leerlo descubrí varios proyectos y organizaciones muy interesantes.

In this trilogy, Christopher Hunter has created a living, breathing and vibrant future world. Although the main story arc is a battle for survival so intense it really doesn't permit much in the way of character development, he has forged a detailed and plausible world for future novels to take place in.

I have a feeling this trilogy is simply a preface to novels to come - it sets the scene, it introduces the world in an absolutely believable way, and it hints at more adventures to follow.

This is what indie fiction is all about - I enjoyed every moment I've spent in Mr Hunter's company, and look forward to seeing what he does next.
