A Galaxy Unknown

review 1: 4.5 stars. This is the first 'new' book in the Galaxy Unknown series from Deprima for quite a few years, yet there is little change in his writing style, while the story continued pretty much flawlessly. I think the major difference - apart from Jenetta herself not being the main character - is that most of the action happened planet-side as opposed to in space. Rather than complex space battles, the focus was more on discovery and diplomacy, yet approached with the 'Carver' attitude. The only difference in actual writing style I noticed is that the dialogue seemed a little less formal , with 'Ums' and 'Uhs' inserted. I enjoyed this latest offering from Deprima, and will continue to look forward to reading more of Jenetta, Christa and Eliza.
review 2: Superbl... morey Done!I strongly suggest you read the previous books in the series (A Galaxy Unknown, Valor At Vauzlee, The Clones of Mawcett, Trader Vyx, Milor!, Castle Vroman and Against All Odds) prior to reading this installment.The plot thickens and now it's Christa's turn! What a great read this was. This installment was a phenomenal high adventure story full of plenty of twist and turns. Although, this installment didn't have as much action as the previous books, it was no less exciting. The entertainment factor was so high, I thoroughly enjoyed myself and was so entirely engrossed in the story; I was actually upset when the ending finally came. I felt like I wanted this story to go on and on, I am so glad the author decided to continue this series. In truth, I can't imagine not reading about the Carver sisters' exploits.This author is so talented and he never fails to grab my attention and keep it. This story was so fabulous, I was glued to every page, especially the parts concerning the ancients, I felt like I was watching one of my favorite Stargate episodes (take your pick from the Stargate trio).A side note, this vibrant and intriguing cover is the best of the entire series!To those fellow dark urban fantasy readers, looking for a good SF but don't want to end up with space romance; I highly recommend this book to you, as the style of writing is similar to a urban fantasy read.I highly recommend this book to fellow SF fans and also look forward to reading the next book in the series and also the AGU spin-off series Border Patrol, Citizen X due out in 2012. I also recommend: The Hour of Dust and Ashes (Charlie Madigan, Book 3) Kissed by Darkness (Sunwalker Saga) The Renfield Syndrome (Rhiannon's Law, Book Two) The Shadow Reader (A Shadow Reader Novel) Song of Scarabaeus less
