Friends of mine know that I read anything and everything I can get my hands on. I've always been a bit more cautious with SciFi books though as I was introduced to the genre by reading some of the best. I quickly found that there is a rare breed who can write SciFi and do it well but I really think Mr. Hooke is off to a great start in this series. Having read the author before, I was looking forward to his version and I was not disappointed. While I'm not sure this is the next big thing in the genre, it is definitely not to be passed over. I love the character development, especially in regards to the AI and the captain. I think the science rounded out pretty well overall, although it did get a bit too much explanation at times. That is just my personal view though- I know many who would have wanted to see more. I'm almost sad to be in the preview reading group for this one as I now have to wait longer than I would had I waited and purchased the book on schedule and I now must be patient for more in the series. All in all, don't wait. It's a fun read. Also if you've read the mystery series by the author, there might be an Easter egg or two. Enjoy!
