Very exciting and action-packed. Shared with friends.

It's a good introduction to the author's universe and some of the characters within it. However, it was extremely short and there were a couple of editing mistakes. The cover design is pretty weak too. However, it is worth reading if you can snag it for free. I paid $0.99 on Amazon but considering the length - about 33 pages - that's a bit steep for me. When Joshua Done writes a full novel or compiles the short stories into a novel I'll pick it up. For more information be sure to check out my review on Timmbot.com.

I love science fiction and I'm always looking for new amateur authors but this one... not for me.
