review 1: キャラクターについては、☆4以上ストーリーについては、☆2.5~3軍人同士で10歳以上年の離れたカップルで、強かで経験豊富の年上ロシア系無国籍人と意地っ張りなアメリカ人のカップルという、私の好みのキャラ設定。キャラについては文句ないぐらいに気に入ったんですが、軍人としてリアルにしっかり描かれている二人が関わることになった任務が、エイリアン絡みというSFなのが欠点。任務の中身が全然面白くない。荒唐無稽な任務にするにしても、国際テロとか単なる殺人事件とかに巻き込まれるようなもう少し現実味がある話の方が良かった。キャラがとっても�... more��きなだけに、惜しいです。
review 2: Okay, so had the blurb covered what this book was about, I can say I probably wouldn’t have read it. Saying why is a spoiler, even if I feel that by not divulging the true nature of the story in the blurb is cheating the reader of making a informed decision on whether to purchase the book.The beginning of this story had me hooked. I was interested in Mikhail and Devon’s relationship and why it fell apart. Their meeting up again despite the circumstances was well played. Mikhail and Devon clicked for me. I like them a lot. The fact that these two are in love was obvious. It wasn’t until about three quarters of the way through the book that things really fell apart for me, because nothing in the blurb or the story leading up to this point even hinted to where the story was actually going. Granted, it’s listed as science fiction but it didn’t start out that way and when it finally got there, I just wasn’t buying where the authors went with it. And that is a shame because up until then the book had me glued to me seat.I would try these two authors again but I’m thinking I might find myself waiting until I read some of the reviews, just to be sure I would be getting what the blurb advertised.Theresa less

A story not worthy of Aleksandr Voinov's talent. I wouldn't recommend it.
