review 1: Buck Rogers meets Star Trek meets. . . When RJ Stone is awakened several centuries after boarding an exploratory starship, he finds a whole new world waiting for his exploration. In this world, many animals have been � uplifted� to sentience and several galaxies connected. And, the inhabitants have created a faster than lightspeed ship that will venture further into space at his command. [return]This was a fun, funny book that played with all of the usual space travel tropes without taking itself too seriously all while providing good pacing and suspense.
review 2: I have to give this one 5 out of 5!From beginning to ind this book had my attention and kept it.I love that in a book! I really hope he writes a sequel to this. I would really love to lear
... moren more about Captain RJ Stone and his travelling mates.I love books that explore a unique way of looking at things. Trust me when I say the Chris Roberson has quite the imagination and would truly love to hear his thoughts on a few subjects.I loved his approach to RJ Stone and RJ's thoughts when thrown into such a unbelievable position, but yet believable. Chris Roberson's views of the future are insightful and imaginative. One thing about the future is that since it is unknown, it could be what ever you want it to be. His future world is so believable and I enjoyed his thoughts on everyday things and how someone from the past would react. Even down to how the future miss represents the past. Like our thoughts on drinking before dinner to what cloths to where.If you are into Science Fiction, you have to read this book.It is funny but it is so will written I can picture the Further and most of the characters. Would love to see this as a movie but one done as close as possible to the book as they can.Without cutting out the funny stuff, I swear they take away from a book when they take out the humor.I will have to check out more of his books. less
