I don't usually read books about space as I'd rather watch the movies but I picked up this book and found it to be quite a great tale. Lots of action and a great love story. Mr. Bunn does great with developing the characters. I do feel that the author could have gone deeper with why Consuela and Wander were kidnapped and what the rulers of Citadel wanted with the sensitive's but I guess that is what the second book is for.

One of the few books I have read that successfully melds science Fiction and Christianity without compromising either. Consuela, a modern-day teenager, finds herself inexplicably drawn into another world. There she meets Wander and they are swept into an adventure involving space caravans, pirates, and corruption in the intergalactic government. I love this book! It’s got just the right balance of action and emotion - serious and lighthearted. The characters are great and the plot is exciting.

Well that was a good story, but it just seemed to stop... There has to be a second book, because this one leaves a lot of questions unanswered... but still a good read.

Too much going on

Rarely do I find myself lost in a book, but here I am. I feel as if I'm missing parts of this story, like chapters or paragraphs are missing. Then the book ends abruptly and an afterthought epilogue is tossed in out of the blue. I wouldn't be so upset if the parts I did read weren't so intriguing and if Davis Bunn wasn't a favorite author of mine. I will stop ranting now though I'm not sure exactly what type of read this is.

My daughter and I love this book. We have both read it multiple times.

[Kerrie Kellner · Rating 3 out of 5]

An interesting read, just a bit unsure of ending and overt religious themes that crept in but I found confusing rather than enlightening.

Not Bunn's best book, but still an enjoyable read

[Valerie Krushel · Rating 2 out of 5]

Couldn't finish it. Not a fan of Sci Fi.

[Sara Diane · Rating 3 out of 5]

A fun, solid story. Not overly heavy-handed with the Christian aspect, which was nice and refreshing, and Bunn had some interesting ideas about communication and space.

This book was originally published under the pen name of Thomas Locke.

Reading this book fulfilled a long-standing promise to Mr. Bunn that I would read "something else of his" other than his first book. I met him many years ago at a writer's conference, bought his book, and asked him to sign it. He would only sign if I made the promise, and now, I have kept my word.

A fun, interesting take on Christian Sci-Fi.

Very disappointing. Loved the story and was drawn into the characters and plot. But the end was terribly unsatisfying. They didn't answer any of the questions that were raised throughout - the nature of the Hegemony, what they were using the Sensitives and Talents for, what would become of the Hegemony and their corruption, would our heroes escape, would Avanti be able to recover, etc.? Barely tied up any of the loose ends and was a frustrating and disappointing end to what would have been a fine book.

LOVED this book! I was kind of hesitant about if because I'm not much for space adventure books and more for sword and castle stories but I'm glad I hit that Buy button :)! It is a beautifully written story with characters that have weaknesses, flaws and some that are just plain lost, looking for something but not knowing what that something is. Faith is wonderfully woven into this book. I really enjoyed it with all the ups, downs, joy, and tears that are caught in the pages.

This is one of my favorite books! Really good character development!

[Bear · Rating 3 out of 5]

An adult re-telling/compilation of three books I read when I was much younger. I love the name Wander because of these books.

[Celesta Thiessen · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was seriously awesome. What I'm wondering is, where is the sequel?!

[Brenda · Rating 5 out of 5]

this one I would recommend to my children and grandchildren.
