About the author
Tucker French
8 books1 followerTucker French is in his early 20's and currently resides in the great state of Maryland. Ever since he can remember he has been a fan of sci-fi books and movies.
During his childhood, he had a very active imagination and would often daydream about these types of adventures. It was always a dream of his to write a science fiction book that would inspire the imaginations of the readers, much like what these books did for him as a child. Every time he opened one of these books, he remembered being able to put the present aside, while simultaneously entering a new world where anything was possible. It is an amazing thing to experience, and he hopes to be able to share it with new readers of all ages in the future.
He recently released his first book called "Haven". It is part of the Origo series, with the rest of the books coming out incrementally. It focuses on a dying Earth, and the need to find a new suitable home for the human race. It is filled with suspense, mystery and wonder. He hopes that those who read it find the book engaging, while also being able to relate, and eventually care for the lives of the characters within the story.
Tucker is always open to input and suggestions that have to deal with his writing. For those who wish to contact Tucker, they can reach him by email at tuckerfrench117@gmail.com.

I finished this book, I nearly stopped reading several times.
The main reason for laying it aside was the lack of science background that was obvious.
The invisible monster plot got old quick. I finished it thou.
How can you anti accelerate something.

I really wanted to like this book but I just couldn't. first the characters are just in entrusting and blah. there is nothing that makes me like any of them.
SPOILERS BELOW!!!!!!!!
first there are a few main characters In a, squad all of which are in a relationship with one another. I can see maybe a few but all? and it adds nothing except extra to read and a sex scene. The characters also just do not seem to grow as you read and I also hated all of them. could care less about any of them. conversations felt forced and unreal to me. The over all plot was OK but execution was lacking. story seems to happen the last 50 pages and everything leading up was fluff. I almost felt as if someone in a monotone voice was telling me the story. The parts that tried be good felt forced and unrealistic.
few other things bothered me, talking about hearing the engine come to life in an electric car, ever been in one? yeah they are don't have an engine and don't make noise. Sole cells to provide power hooked to a generator, yeah it doesn't work that way, one or the other not both. solar cells connect to transformer or battery's. the communication Satellites used but yet needs line of site and connects to roof. Satellites are in orbit and one in geosynchronous would solve all the problems. also highly trained group gets in vehicle they are not trained in, would never happen. and a group that is the best seems like a misfit group in general. A few times the general runs into Nick saying something along the lines of I was looking for you but just ask how's the weather. I could prob go on but you get the point if you read this far but
my biggest problem, there is NO ENDING!!!! nothing is wrapped up, we get no conclusion and have no idea what is going on, that alone is why I wrote this review. I can overlook alot of crappiness in a book but no conclusion is not one of them

I don't have a lot to say about this book, but here it is.
-Soldiers all have the same problems as a CW high school show.(including mistaking an innocent situation for cheating, and the other character not taking the time to set things straight.)
- Any and all really impacting events happen off-screen.
-exposition out the wazoo.
