A delight for an old Sci-Fi fan

I am just getting old and while I am male, I could still empathize with Ophelia. Her internal battles and joys I can relate well to.
A different and excellent first contact story gives me hope for humans and the future

Ending tells the future

Revisado: 02-25-18

For once an ending that satisfies. It furthers the theme of, “War Dogs” and says something of what we really are

For science fiction this was only so-so.

Revisado: 11-04-17

There were two features that detracted:1 the level of detail and repetition were tiresome, very! 2 the character of Colin was annoying even irritating, really!
The premise was interesting and if I ever wanted to know what the Black Plague was like this sure conveyed it.
Helpful editing would easily reduced this book by half or more without losing any of it’s good qualities. Just my opinion

As someone else stated, this would be more appropriate for YA

Revisado: 04-13-17

First off the narrator had this odd, awkward speech pattern that made listening to the story difficult and frustrating. He did surprisingly better at speaking in character.
The writing was tedious and sophomoric. As a previous reviewer said, the women characters had little depth, they seemed to just be descriptive "arm candy" for the male protagonists.
I had liked this author's coyote books, so this was a disappointment.

Speaker is very hard to understand

Partly due to accent but something in the quality of voice makes this incomprehensible, terrible!

After a long and glorious space opera we now hear a mundane Soap Opera!

Revisado: 09-23-16

I have loved the stories that Frank Herbert's son, Brian, has written. The stories of the different families gave depth to the original Dune sagas. Those of the different schools, Mentat, Sisterhood, Swordmasters and others fleshed out this rich universe! The stories of the God of Dune gave insight to a future that would be a natural outcome of the original series.
However, enough is enough; the repetitious embroidery of the characters in this book was tedious, even annoying! It was my impression that the middle half of this volume was written to fill pages rather than to further the storyline. Only the last portion of the book did events move along, maintaining my interest. That part was finally reminiscent of Brian 's prior work. I was back living in the universe of Dune!
I can see the set up for the next couple of installments that I am sure are coming. I would caution the authors to write primarily to fill up pages; that would not be worthy of them or this science fantasy.
That is just my opinion.

Extreme Scott Sigler

Revisado: 07-29-15

While I enjoyed Scott's early work, his terror fantasies have reached their logical conclusion. Here is a story that places us in a world we do not understand. We have no memory and for the entire book we suffer under an adrenaline fight or flight panic. Too much, Scott!
The reader of this audio book furthers the sense of fear and panic with her near shouting reading of the dialogue.
I finished listening to the book because I wanted to see how this innovative concept would play out. I was disappointed that the fear and fright overshadowed the story right to the end.
