review 1: I thought i would give this book a shot. I understand the book has been self published and could probably do with a skilled editor (though the book is free of spelling and grammatical errors which is better than most). Some of the characters and interactions are linear and simple. A science fiction book also presumes some understanding of science, even if it is twisted with a bit of imagination to make at least seem plausible. A non-dirty nuclear weapon, which Lalonde names a super nuke, seems just a tad unimaginative and not particularly plausible, especially when you consider later in the story the talk of a two hundred year old ship capable of regenerating internal structure, along with weapons systems which automatically replenish there own weapon stores. Why not inven... moret / describe something new or at least keep tech levels plausibly comparable.The story is certainly interesting and it will be interesting to see where it leads. I certainly give him points for getting on and doing what he loves, it is also a great idea if you self publish to provide the first book in the series for free, it is a very good hook.
review 2: I picked this book up for free on my Kindle app, with no idea what it was. From the very first paragraph, Lalonde had me hooked. I was immediately thrown into the action, and I loved it. The book evoked just the right amount of emotional response, just the right amount of anxiousness for the future storyline, and did a glorious job of making me fall in love with the characters. I was delighted to find that it was part of a series, and I very much look forward to reading the rest! A fabulous read! less
