Customer Reviews
A hurried and rushed end.
I found the book entertaining because I love sci-fi. I imagine others would find the typos and grammatical errors devastating but I just inserted the words I deemed correct and soldiered through. I did not appreciate the mk1 at first being described larger than life then finding it much smaller. I did not like the hurried and hasty pace of the last chapters. The holes in the descriptions felt large enough to fly a planet through. I don't like wondering how the hell Adcox is going to command the big ship with out eve. I'm not sure I want to spend money on the next book. Anticipating the huge holes in the story and the clear lack of adherence anything at all resembling authentic soldiering has me worried. Only the characters are keeping me interested. I would like a more believable interaction with each other and a more authentic description of human interaction in general.The almost comical and disingenuous banter and communication between the individuals has to stop. It has to be more believable or I fear no one with any sort of formal education will even bother reading it. Just poorly educated such as myself will endure it just for the sake of envisioning it as a badly plotted Japanese anime. Please get the help of a really good editor, this one should be ashamed of letting you take a good idea like this and mangling it with shoddy work.
