Reviews

[Mike Hanford · Rating 2 out of 5]

A somewhat strange read. An interesting premise, and some adventure. Characters are rather flat. No idea of who they are, just pushed along in the story. By the last 25% of the book, the author has clearly run out of ideas, and cannot figure out how to end the story. Lots of sitting around and blah, blah, blah. Nothing actually happens. DNF. Would not recommend it, even for beach reading.

"This hasn't aged well"

... and yet, it's barely a year old.

This started out as a reasonably fun adventure with only bad editing holding it back. Then the editing got even worse. Then the dialogue started to really fail... and then it became so casually morally bankrupt that I struggled to keep reading. I should be more specific, but literally don't care to re-read, even for all the hard errors and parts that were just disgusting.

Fantastic & Fun Abduction Story

What a fun and often funny, alien abduction story. The MC is a level-headed guy that adapts better to an emergency landing than his alien abductors. They rescue each other, and two other abductees, then go on to share a job working together traveling to new planets, meeting new alien species and abducting them for medical testing… Lots of fun!!

Abducted turns Abducter

A very unique tale of alien abduction, survival and how the roles reversed. Very believable scenario. No deep dives on technology or politics and some really alien situations that you never want to find yourself in. Good story, looking forward to the sequel.

A Mixed Bag

An oddly themed storyline, with some very strange aliens and a managing society which seems to be preoccupied with invasive probing of new species. The humor is mostly adolescent in tone, centered around body functions and sexual norms. The story ambles a bit, with only a general focus or plot. There may be a sequel but I doubt that I will continue.

fun story, good setup for series

Fun, fast read. Looking forward to book 2. However. It could use a more thorough edit pass as there are a few places where the word isn’t correct but was relatively easy for me to infer on rereading the sentence. But I AM an editor irl, so others might have more trouble.

Very good read .

I enjoyed reading this book and I recommend this book to anyone who likes LitRPG and progression types of books with lots of action.

Interesting characters but seemed like stilted conversation. Found a few typos but not many. The beginning is much better than the end (nothing much happens except sex).

Top Notch Science Fiction!
