I’ve never read a sci-fi before but this book honestly sounds interesting.
Rachelle wrote: "I’ve never read a sci-fi before but this book honestly sounds interesting."There are reviews on the goodreads profile of the book, Prime Vanguard: Book 1 of the Trans-Stellar Chronicles, if you'd like to see what you might be in for. I've had two so far, just looking for more to help any marketing campaigns I undertake. Finding reviewers is a tricky affair.
I read the reviews. I like learning about science and the universe. It sounds like an interesting read. I’ll have to pick up a paperback copy (old school girl lol) and see where it takes me :)
I could always send you a free copy if you'd review it.
This sounds very interesting! It’s been a while since I read a science heavy sci-fi book. I feel like they’re few and far between these days.
Hello AlexandraIf you can send me a physical Copy to India then I would love the opportunity to review your book on my Ig, Goodreads and blog.

I sell it on India's amazon thankfully. Email me your address and I can have one sent to you.

Email with pdf sent to you now.
From 9th May to 13th May, Prime Vanguard will be free for download on Amazon if anybody is interested. I just ask if leaving a review would be not too much of a hassle.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08VJLSWHF

Private message me with details of delivery, address, etc. Its not safe to share emails at present with a surge in goodreads trolls correlating with a spate of extortionate emails sent to me and many other goodreads users email profiles.
I'm going to report that, sadly, there's a spate of online discussion group trolls on the prowl.It correlates with a series of users, perhaps even yourself, in which case join the crowd, receiving a phishing/extortionate email threatening goodreads and other review site bombings unless a payment is made, and the email itself was laughably unsubtle and imprecise as to where and whom the payment might be made. Likely this has become obvious by other threads, but it bears repeating that trolling is pathetic, and EXTORTION is a crime.
I'm calling out these users with no profile pictures and private locked accounts, as suspects, likely a mere ripple atop an ocean of hateful individuals.

I have to say this, because it has to be said, as I know I'm a target of theirs.To any and all behind obvious troll accounts started in May 2021, around the time EXTORTION emails were sent out.
Whoever's behind these accounts will get NOTHING.
YOU WILL GET NO MONEY, AND YOU WILL NOT MAKE US COWER OR FLEE OR GIVE UP OUR HOBBY, WHICH IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE MORE PRODUCTIVE THAN YOUR ASANINE AND PITIABLE TROLLING.
And by the way...
EXTORTION IS A CRIME, YOU CROSSED THE LINE!
To everyone here, just issuing a heads up warning, the same troll-hordes likely behind the ineffectual extortion attempts of May 10th are back, and what's more embarrassing is that many are using even more obvious copy-pasted reviews or comments disparaging works or posts or the like.Be aware that those emails have been tracked and government organizations have been alerted by me and other authors affected, the FBI included, and are pursuant of these criminals.
Bernice wrote: "Alexander wrote: "My name is Alexander, and I am looking for anyone interested in reviewing my first in what I hope to be a long series of sci-fi stories. Prime Vanguard: Book 1 of the Trans-Stella..."Copy and paste troll review? You're not even trying anymore.
Please stop wasting your time, you're not going to get any money from me or other authors you're attempting to extort behind your multitude of trolling accounts.
Goodreads has responded well to scrub your reviews, and other authors I've collaborated with have reported the multitude of evident emails to authorities, the FBI included.
Please make note that commenters Bernice and Douglas are obvious troll accounts.
It is set in the 36th century, in a galaxy region including humans, whom are but one player species among many that have interacted and warred for hundreds of years. At the story's setting in 3512, there's a period of relative peace, but that is liable to be upset when a secret megaconstruct is found 500 light years from the nearest settled system. Before panic ensues, the expedition vessel that found it is drafted, with other voluntary experts and consultants, to investigate it further. The main characters are primarily alien, only one human, and the level of sci-fi hardness is as adherent to real-life and theoretical technology, with the only exceptions being advanced materials synthesized to generate negative mass effects for extremely narrow wormholes set up like relays in phone lines[communication] and FTL travel [Alcubierre drive method].
I welcome any interested reviewers, and I can send pdf or mobi files of review copies, or I can go the extra mile and get a physical copy shipped to you, no charge on either count.
See the synopsis below, thank you.
Prime Vanguard, book 1 of the Trans-Stellar Chronicles
113,000 words
====
In 3512, a probe mapping an uncharted system is disabled, its last recordings revealing an artificial-ringed planet and strange masses surrounding both its stars. Amidst wariness of how easily First Contact events between species turn awry, a secret and hasty expedition is mounted with the mothership of the lost probe.
Assigned as its security commander, Shakrii Dehn-Herensk accompanies the mixed crew to the system, where signs of a much greater power prove daunting, catalyzing tensions within the crew on all fronts.
Things only worsen with the emergence of a pair of machine factions, servants of an ancient colonization effort by a power seemingly delayed, perhaps dead. Soon, revelations ignite a conflict thousands of years in the making, the costs of which Shakrii and the crew cannot under any circumstances let spill beyond the system.
