A Crisis of Two Worlds

review 1: After my playthrough of the "Mass Effect" trilogy of video games wound up as a tragically optimistic, sci-fi, gay love story; I decided to look into finding some gay sci-fi romance fiction and stumbled upon this title. I have to say I am glad I did. This book is by no means perfect; there are a few questionable character decisions and some of the dialogue just doesn't feel like something that people in the age group represented would ever actually say, but despite those flaws, this still wound up being a highly entertaining read. The romance elements are kept somewhat to a minimum, which actually works better for me, but when they do arise they are indeed pretty romantic and about 90% believable. The sci-fi / fantasy / adventure elements are more pronounced and while they ... morecan stretch credulity a bit more regularly, they were more than suitably exciting enough to allow for the requisite suspension of disbelief. It ends satisfactorily while still leaving quite a lot to be resolved in the sequel, which I can say I look forward to reading.
review 2: I received this book from the Goodreads Givaway program.The characters are well built and the world has incredible depth. The story is well thought out and the pace is quick which makes for a pleasant read. While I enjoyed this book I did have some trouble in the beginning with the author's style of description(using name brands to describe clothing), although once I got past that the story really picked up and proceeded to blow me away.Michale Offutt is a good storyteller and I look forward to the next book in the series as well as his books to come! less
