400,000 years have passed since the last known Human was exterminated, and Dezmara Strykar can’t remember anything before the moment, eight years ago, when she woke up in an abandoned space freighter. But in that time, she has come to realize three things: she’s the best pilot and smuggler in the universe, she can handle herself in a fight, and she’s Human.

Graphic Debut Space Opera Adventure Romp of the First Order
I love getting to know new authors and this is Sean Allen’s debut novel. From visiting his homepage devolutionnovels.com I knew Sean is a bit of a renaissance man with an entertaining style of writing so I gladly accepted his publishers generous offer of a review copy. Since I haven’t seen fit to give myself a Pad (with or without an i) I read this on my iPhone. It translates to 1660 pages with the font I am using, just shy More...

On October 1, 2011, Death Drop will burst onto the scene, leaving a trail of genre bending destruction in its wake. This explosive debut novel by Sean Allen is the first book set in The D-Evolution series.
Humans are dead. That’s right, they were completely wiped out 400,000 years ago; however, the universe is still populated by a myriad assortment of sentient life. That life is threatened by the Durax, a heinous race whose bodies are weak, but whose mind-controlling abilities have enab More...

I'd really give this book 3.5 stars but I'm rounding up to 4.
The primary reason for the rating being so low on what was really a fabulous book is simply that the beginning was very slow and you really have to stick with it for anything to make sense. The author crafts a brilliant earth where many races of creatures exist but no humans do, and -at least for me- keeping all these races straight was no easy task at first. The beginning, while fast paced and at times exciting, also is re More...

Can I just begin with wow? Seriously, it's been a long time since I've taken a dive into an epic science fiction adventure. Death Drop was definitely the perfect choice to get me back into the groove. Before I move on to anything else about this book I need to share one thing with you. These characters are amazing. Even if I wasn't able to see them in person on the D-Evolution website, I still would have been perfectly content. The way that Sean Allen builds his characters and brings them to lif

This was a fantastic book! It held my attention from the first chapter all the way through to the end. It was exciting and action-packed. The graphic description of some of the battle scenes makes it definitely a book for adults. I absolutely could not put it down. If you like sci-fi/fantasy type books, this one is for you!

Speculative fiction is not normally what I choose to read, but I loved this book. The characters are fascinating, lots of action, and it's quite graphic. I really liked going to the website and seeing the characters' artfully depicted: http://www.devolutionnovels.com/. They are awesome.
