This continues the series directly from the previous book. It isn't as good as the first novel though. This book is riddled with spelling or grammatical errors. Most likely in the range of above 100 in the book. This breaks my immersion of an otherwise entertaining story. The book ends on a cliffhanger and the next one isn't written (or even planned in the near future due to writing another series).

There are plenty of good things about this book, decent space combat, both with space ships and with close ranged weapons. Plenty of planing and continuation of the story. It sets the stage for the next stage of the story well (as a middle book should) and it makes me emotionally care about the characters.

The flaw of massive amount of grammatical and spelling errors just breaks immersion too much. The story also requires something of a suspension of belief due to the scope the author tries to take it to from a humble beginning. The entire story could have been taken in a more down to earth direction and would most likely have been better for it.… (más)

This book has its share of flaws in basic personalities and in how early children develop mentally. Disregarding these problems and a few styling choices I disliked it is an interesting and mostly unique book.

This book is about earth in the future, when we have finally solved most of our problems and are looking towards space. This book shows the author's suggested solution and portrays a small and high performing group. We get to follow them through a period of roughly six months when they go from above average to world fame.

This book raises questions about social conduct, from nudity and sex, to generation shifts in the sciences, to violence. It mostly does this well, if a bit overly dramatic.

I can recommend this to most people that like an author trying to define the future. Some things people might have problems with include a few sexual scenes and many instances of violent, even brutal hand to hand combat, with or without weapons.… (más)
