Dark Eden by Chris Beckett

4.0

Dark Eden is an extremely enjoyable bit of science-fiction from English writer Chris Beckett. I was captivated by Beckett's alien world quasi-adventure tale from the very start and had a tough time stopping myself from reading it when I should be sleeping. That is the ultimate compliment--reading over rest. The world that he has created in Dark Eden is slightly familiar yet foreign enough to keep the reader off balance in terms of what you might expect in a sci-fi book such as this. I will be seeking out Beckett's second novel Mother of Eden and hope it is as strong as his first book.
