Mr Rhodes is a rising star in the sci-fi space of exploration and alien invasion. "The Forever World" is a fascinating page-turning story within a large story arc. There's the older generation characters that aren't initially obviously around, domineering aliens and the younger generation that seeks to find archeological treasures and solve a bigger mystery,. Mr Rhodes brings all the generations together by each playing to their strengths and resolving the overall situation humanity finds itself in.

Love the well developed characters and solid, page-turning story.  This is refreshing with the characters and story given depth, motives and intentions. It is well written and carefully thought out.

I felt compelled to continue reading each book, following the characters through new travails. This page turning story interweaves different groups yet brings all the stories lines together in a literal highly gripping conclusion.

This is a classic science fiction space adventure that I really enjoyed.

I read each book as it was released, but with this complete series there's no waiting.

It's a great story, with lots of interesting characters that are fully developed.

Many different interconnecting timelines to keep track of, so lots of fun.

Highly recommended.

I enjoyed this series. But beware it is very easy to get sucked into what is going on and before you know it, it's 2 am. Liked the characters and the crazy story. Entertaining and fun to read as I tried to figure out what was going on and how it all fit together. Fast paced and a bit of a thriller mystery feel to it that I enjoyed.

Excellent from start to finish,

Excellent from the start to finish. From the beginning you are brought into a world of imagination that you could believe humans got too.
