 All i can say is wow Mar 27, 2009
By Miguel
i bought this book in a local boulder bookstore just looking for a quick read on the flight back to LA and i was just blown away!...this book is incredible i dont know how this has not gained any mainstream press. This book is an amazing unknown book of pure genius not to mention there is more to come as per the back cover. Robert Dresner is on the brink of stardom, A MUST READ!!

 Creative and Insightful May 04, 2009
By H. Gbedawo
I have to admit that I was suprised and delighted by the depth and imagination in this book. The ability to define both the internal and external dialogues of the characters was creative and insightful both culturally and across gender lines. I can't wait for the next book!

Outstanding Sci-Fi read, highly recommended Jul 12, 2010
By James
Fortunately this book has an intriguing cover image. I had been randomly browsing the Boulder Bookstore recently and came across this gem. I am a fan of both sci-fi and non-fiction science. I also like a good story! Without a doubt, this book had me hooked from the beginning. Perhaps my own selfish desire to explore space one day was taken advantage of; the author puts together a very compelling narrative of modern space exploration, yet includes enough fantasy to make it enjoyable. The cast is phenomenal; without spoiling anything, I must say I became quite emotionally attached to this crew and their Earthbound compatriots, especially in the latter half of the novel.
This novel is a unique experience; like other commentors, I am surprised I had not heard of this elsewhere. Being the first edition, published barely a year ago, the book can hardly be blamed for a few minor typos/grammar errors, notable but nothing that detracted from the experience in total. It was well worth the purchase, indeed I can't wait to continue the series when the 2nd and 3rd parts arrive at my door later this week!
I presume the author is only getting his feet wet in this genre of writing, as briefly mentioned in the intro. But as a first work, it's wonderful to see such talent from a new author. I hope to see more by Robert Dresner in the future.
 It's OK Apr 06, 2010
By D. Raymond
I too picked up this book at the bookstore in Boulder. I almost didn't finish it but I'm glad I hung in there and will be reading the second one in the series, hoping that his writing gets better. The author is not a story-teller. The characters are flat and transitions between scenes are exceedingly awkward. There's no tension--there's no insight into why the characters think they way they do. The story is compelling but just not well done.
Excellent Read Sep 24, 2009
By BoySetsTheFire
I found this book to be an excellent read. The sub-plots fit together well, keeping me interested and on my toes. I found it hard to put the book down, as the story always left me wanting to know where the next twist would take me. I just ordered Volume II.
