I loved reading the venomous lumpsucker. I liked the authors creativity and depth into the story, world building (especially the world building you'll love it if your nerdy about techy future stuff. I can understand some people can view it as the story being to dense) the characters and the character's dialogue in how they expressed differing opinions/different perspectives .
The only thing I would complain about would be the climax seemed a little rushed.
(Spoilers ) I wish the author maybe fleshed out Barka's character out some how. Tho Barkas motives for killing the animals and having the conservation park made were pretty solid and were quite interesting to read It just seemed like he became a villian in a split second. I also feel like the ending between Warkentin and Halyard and there change of perspective could have been elaborated on. Other than those things I absolutely loved everything. (ESPECIALLY THE EPILOGUE TWO).

Funnier than expected.
The second epilogue reminded me a bit of Space Opera scene with the alien projecting itself into the presence of all earth humans. The CAPTCHA comments had me chuckling because I had just had a similar conversation about them at work.
