Close to the end of my military career, I started to write. It was something I always wanted to do but never did. I wrote several science fiction stories, but now I am focusing on epic high fantasy for young and new adults.

A rollickingly good sci-fi novel with great characters and a fast, smooth-flowing storyline. There is never a dull moment and the unexpected turns keep the story fresh. I enjoyed Steven’s writing, his character development is particularly strong and the settings are vividly created leading to a total immersion within the world. Space pirates – what’s not to love! Excellent read.

This looked like a really interesting sci-fi adventure. It turned out to be like a B-movie sci-fi adventure instead. Amari is a pirate who is looking to get out of the field. But, her last job is different from the rest, and she ends up getting involved in a much broader set of events.
My main problems with the book started early on when the action seemed cartoonish and the characters more like caricatures. I wondered if I was supposed to laugh, although it wasn't really funny. It was also interesting that Christians were the only religious group persecuted, and they were all good and sweet and not at all very normal. In my experience, Christians are like everyone else. The ones who are least likely to be so violent are some of the Buddhists. And where were the other religions of the world, that vastly outnumber Christians anyway? Apparently they just disappeared.
And that leads me to another problem with the book, sloppy world building. The author gives the story of UN takeover three separate times in the first half of the book. Often with almost the same words. There wasn't much detail provided, either. Characters rarely had any thoughts for themselves, they just do as they're told. There is a lack of depth to the understanding of the situation.
Building upon that, the motivations of characters had simplistic motivations, with little or no nuance or depth. Some actions didn't make sense. If Amari wants out so badly and is so rich, then why does she need the money from another job? Why does Amari live such a simple lifestyle when she is richer than just about anyone alive? And why does she care about getting a pardon? Also, the identity of Chloee's father was obvious form the time she first mentioned him.
Overall, the cardboard nature of the characters, including the obvious allusions to Jesus in Chloee's situation, kept me from really caring for any of them. they weren't terrible, and were sometimes entertaining. But they were flat and predictable. Well, except for Chloee's willingness to kill everyone in sight when she wanted to get away (despite her constant begging to not kill anyone she doesn't seem to feel any remorse for her actions).

I really enjoyed this fast paced book full of twisted plots and suspense and a touch of romance.
The characters were well depicted and you felt each ones plight. Right from the start I connected with Amari and her struggles finish up in this twisted world of space piracy and start a new quieter life with the love of her life.
A great mix of kidnapping, government conspiracy, space pirates, romance in a science fiction dystopian society.
An enticing read for Sci-Fi/Dystopian enthusiasts.

Amari is a great ride. Fun and fast adventure set against the back-drop of space and intergalactic conspiracy. There is a pulpy feel to modern themes of the distrust of those in authority and a society under constant observation. Here is the age old story of heroes and villains painted in stark shades of grey. Terrorist or freedom fighter? Does it matter amidst all the swashbuckling?
Our main protagonist is Amari, a ruthless space pirate. To say this woman has issues is an understatement. She is a fully drawn and interesting focus for the story and it is our introduction to her at a crossroads in her life which anchors the story. She has enough depth to keep the reader's attention as the plot plays out and by the end quite curious as to where the character will go next.
The only potential misstep, from my point of view, was the character of Chloe. Chloe is of deep religious faith caught up in a world where others control her fate. Her connection with Amari has a profound effect on both of them. I was concerned that the narrative was going to turn into one of ' faith will set you free' but this was kept to an acceptable level. This is just a matter of personal taste, of course.
This is an enjoyable adventure, with a classic space setting and characters you don't mind spending time with. There are efforts to bring in themes which reflect modern anxieties and to flesh out what could easily have been the over familiar. The action is clearly described and there are some novel ideas. Old-fashioned but with enough twists to keep the attention. Superfun.

Amari is a sci-fi futuristic thriller that combines a gamut of emotions and some of the seven deadly sins along with plenty of violent killings with modern guns and ammunition that can evaporate flesh. Earth is only one of the planets now inhabited by humankind and the ruler is one person who is ruthless, greedy, deceitful and dangerous to all.
Amari, the protagonist, is a pirate who was brought into this life when at age six her parents were killed and she was adopted by the person who murdered them, a pirate. She learns to be a merciless killer and steals valuable ore from the government and sells it to others to build up her wealth. She is enlisted by the government to capture and bring a dangerous criminal named Chloee, a computer hacker, to justice. After Amari meets Chloee she finds herself tormented by what she has done in her past and begins to doubt herself. When she learns that she is being hunted by the same government that hired her she decides to use her skills toward doing good for others.
This was an action-packed, fast-paced thriller that kept my interest right to the end. The only negatives were the many editing issues, missing words and inconsistent verb tenses. It could use a good editing to polish it up. I gave it five stars because it was an enjoyable read. It would get three and a half for editing.

Amari By Steven Atwood
Amari is a science fiction, dystopian future, space adventure where the UN took over the running of the known universe after the GFC. They became power hungry tyrants that basically became thought police. They shipped people off to Mars to be “Re-educated” in the mines and others who escaped colonised Europa and beyond, creating places ripe for piracy and black market trading.
I think I was hoping for Firefly and was sorely disappointed. I also thought I could read around the religious aspects of the book but couldn’t. The idea that all the religious people were calm and righteous and all those against religion were cruel, callous and fear their own death more than anything else really grated on me. Mainly because I read science fiction because it reflects the world quite well and I don’t see this as the way the world is. Simple being religious does not suddenly make you a perfect person as it seemed to do in this story.
The further you go in the book the more grammatical errors there are, which slows down the reading process dramatically.
If religion is the saviour of you world and you like science fiction with that flavour, this would be a great book for you but not me.

Very good book. I'll need to find the next one to see what happens. Great characterization and descriptive ability from the writer. Steven Atwood is very skilled at presenting a good read that leaves you wanting more. Well definitely look for more books by this author. I like his writing style and attention to detail. If you like dystopian mixed with sci-fi this is the book that combines them seamlessly. Highly recommend.

(received a free copy of this book from StoryCartel in exchange for an honest review) I love the mix of dystopia and science fiction, and it is a work of fiction worthy to be called a 'classic' some day. The heroine isn't afraid to fight for freedom and she will get what she wants, even if she has to kill people in order to get it. Please read this book!
December 24, 2013
This book grabbed me! The characters were well developed and Amari Prokop was amazing. I love the author's style of writing, it held my attention-until 3am a few times! The story came to life and I felt as though I were experiencing scenes first hand. Well written, well told, well done!
January 14, 2014
Liked it a lot! A good, clean space opera adventure. I liked the characters and the story line. I'd be open to reading more from this author in the future.

This book... First I must say that I did not finish it. I hate reviewing something when I haven't finished it, and in fact never have before... but I just felt like I was wasting my time with this one and not enjoying it at all. I got about halfway through it, so unless the second half is way super good, don't even bother with this book.
Pros:
I would first like to start with the positive. I loved the use of religion in this book. (*Slight spoiler, but you find this out earlier on, so not a big spoiler*) Worshipping anything other than the government is illegal. This creates a great culture around the religious people running from the government or else they will be taken away to be "re-educated This plays nicely into some of the character's back stories and is executed excellently. I must hand it to Atwood that he had some really neat concepts and a decent story. I wanted to know more about Cloee (a prisoner introduced right near the beginning) and honestly that is the only reason I was reading this book for so long. Unfortunately I never go to find out, because I didn't finish it. Why? Well, here comes the bad.
Cons:
The first problem with the book is that it lacks polish. What I mean by that is that it was poorly edited, if edited at all. This is really a slap in the face to the indie community. We should be releasing books of quality that consumers want, not things we threw together in our basement and hope to sell someday. I would encourage Atwood to take this book offline ASAP and put it through a rigorous editing process before too many people read it and are turned off by his writing forever. It may be a good book with a decent story and some intriguing concepts, but without going through any sort of editorial process it is garbage. Please Atwood, do yourself and the community a favour. Take a few months or a year (however long it takes) to edit this book until it is of publishable and readable quality. More people will want to read it and you will get a better response en-masse from the community.
The second big problem I had with this book was the quick changes in POV. In certain places it works and adds flavour when jumping briefly into another characters head at the beginning or end of a scene, but for the most part it disturbs the story. This, in the end, is what made me put the book down. I was willing to give this book a chance even with all the grammatical and spelling errors (though not everyone would be able to handle this) but the POV jumping was just too much. I understand what Atwood was trying to do. He wanted (at least from my understanding) to make every character well fleshed-out instead of focusing on one or two characters and having the side characters just along for the ride. The change in POV allows the reader to get into the character's head and not just know about them from actions and dialogue. The scene that I finally quit reading Amari on was the ambush. By this point, so many characters had been introduced that POV was changing 3 times per pages, after only a few paragraphs. Some of these POVs jumped between star-ships, so I wasn't even sure what starship the part I was reading was on. Again, this is something that should be looked at during an editing process that Atwood clearly failed to do.
Conclusion:
All-in-all this book might be good once Atwood takes it down and really fine-tunes it. It needs a lot of editing for grammar/spelling and a serious re-thinking of the quick POV changes. Atwood has interesting ideas, concepts, and a good story... but, unfortunately, not a good book

So I m not a big fan of syfy books but this one made start to like this type of books.
Amari its about a brave pirate with the same name who lives an unexpected adventure and face the decision to make about saving humanity from its dictators with the help of a few of course.
Its not only about the adventure its also about the sacrifice that people in this world are willing to pay for there convictions and believes.
Now lets talk a little about the interactions between the characters; I really liked Boris and Amari a true love story ,the interactions between both, the respect, the friendship and of course the love even if it ended in tragedy still a good story; Colin and Marly, I have to say that I appreciated Colin since the beginning because I knew that in the end he’ll do the right thing but for Marly in the contrary her character was really the villain one “to betray your friends like and even willing to sacrifice there life for power not good” but in the end she had what she deserve.
And finally Cloee ahh the symbol of kindness, purety and forgiveness , and I expect a lot for her in the future.
So if your are a fan of syfy this is defently a book to read and appreciate reading it.

I’ve been a science fiction fan since reading Edgar Rice Burroughs’ John Carter series way back in the dark ages of the 1950s. I particularly like the swashbuckling space epics with the good guys battling evil a la Han Solo from the bridge of his Millennium Falcon. So, I approached Steven Atwood’s Amari with some pretty high expectations.
Amari is the story of space pirate Amari Prokop, who does battle against the International Security Space Force (ISSF), the dreaded secret police of the UN. With her crew of pirates, including her XO, Borris, with whom she has a somewhat strange relationship, Amari dashes off to dispense justice and get some payback for past ISSF misdeeds when she is tasked with snatching a prisoner from an ISSF prisoner transport vessel.
This is a competently written story – albeit with a few grammatical glitches that threw me a bit off stride, but not irrevocably so, and one or two minor internal inconsistencies – but, despite the potential, it doesn’t quite rise to the level I believe Atwood is capable of. Dialogue and descriptions are at time a bit wordy and cliché. That said, Amari is still a fun story to read I can see the four-star potential in Atwood’s writing, but alas, I can only give him three stars this time.

I must start by saying I really enjoyed this book. It was simple escapist fun featuring a future world with evil men fighting for power, pirates who end up as freedom fighters and a touch of romance, betrayal, religion and most other things!
The author gives us a view of the future, which though unlikely to occur, seems possible because we recognise various aspects of this dystopian future as having been a reality in the past. E.g. persecution of religion and people with mental or physical disabilities being sent to death camps by evil dictators.
You coud pick holes in some aspects of the plot and characterisation e.g. I thought Amari converted rather easily from blood thirsty pirate to hero but so what, it's an adventure story and you could pick similar holes in Star Wars and most Science Fiction because by nature it is dealing with an imaginary future. So suspend your disbelief and just enjoy this fast paced adventure. Cheer for the good guys and enjoy the bad guys getting what they deserve!
I really look forward to the next book in this series.

The story line is well-thought-out and very entertaining. I cared about the well-developed characters (although with some reservations since the main character is a psychopathic murderer). The background culture and political chicanery were very believable. This is a 4-star story ("read it at least once"; I reserve 5 stars for books that I want to re-read many times). Atwood can WRITE!
However, the version I have (different cover) desperately needs an editor's input. The author did a good job, but no author can find all the faults in a manuscript and there are quite a few that are noticeable enough to drag me out of the story while I try to figure out what he was trying to say. Not just small punctuation errors, but vague sentences or meaningless wording. This cost the book a star.
I understand that the book has been edited and re-issued, but I haven't seen that version, so I have to rate what I know.
I hope Atwood writes the next book in the series (he left the door open).

First, I received a free copy of this ebook through Story Cartel in exchange for an honest review.
I thoroughly enjoyed the story and I believe that it sets up the series quite well. I enjoyed the mystery and never quite knowing who was on which side. I found the premise of the story and the important characters quite believable.
My only problem was that my copy has more than a few editing problems specifically where needed words were left out of sentences.
All in all I give this book a 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 since my enjoyment of the story outweighed my annoyance with the errors.

Having received this through a LibraryThing giveaway and never having read this author before I was not sure what I would find within its pages. It is a SciFi type story with space vehicles and space pirates in a world that has leaders who are very corrupt. There are twists and turns and plenty of action with good flow but there are grammatical errors and issues that could be cleaned up a bit. I did put the book down from time to time to read other books so it did not keep me on the edge of my seat although in the end it was an enjoyable read.

This sci-fi novel has everything, thrills and spills, hard-bitten characters, romance, a chase throughout space and a riveting plot-structure. What's more, it's well-written and the scenarios described are given an authentic and realistic hue. The situation and the events are rendered totally believable. For all lovers of a tale in the cosmos which has everything, this is it! It's cosmic!

The author has created a great story that flows very well and moves along quickly, from the characters, to the pirates and the government. It is one of the best science fiction stories I have read, in which I never seem to take interest in this field, but this story showed great emotions and was interesting from beginning to end. Would love to read the next series for sure.

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.
This was a good story with well developed characters and a flawless storyline. I loved the fearless heroine who would stop at nothing to get what she wanted. I look forward to reading more from this author! This is definitely one book that I would recommend to friends!

Government conspiracies, kidnapping plots, and space pirates? What’s not to love about Amari? I never thought that I’d become a sci-fi reader, but I’m definitely coming back for the next installment in this series…
September 6, 2016
I enjoyed reading this book. There are mysteries and many unexpected twists which were fantastic. The writing was very good and the plot was well constructed. If you're looking for a fast paced scifi novel with great mysteries then you should give Amari a chance.
April 4, 2014
I enjoyed the story line of this book. However, the grammatical and spelling errors, though few, we're annoying. Also, the few romantic scenes were not well written. Having said that, I would be open to reading more from this author in the future.

Amari rekindled my respect for the sci-fi genre. Great characters in a flowing and solid story line.

With lots of action and some great characters, this was a hard book to put down. Can't wait to read the next book in the series to find out what's next for Amari and her friends.
