Customer Reviews
Fantastic Concept
The premise and the structure was excellent. The story of mankind’s future is wonderful and I can now see how this has influenced many a great science fiction writer. The style of writing however was sometimes convoluted and made for a challenging read at times. Given the decade it was written in, that may well just be a feature of its age.
five star book zero for the rip off
this book is out of copyright and FREE on project gutenberg so who is making money out of it on iTunes, seems its not the author
