A really great Sci-Fi series! The authors did an amazing job creating this universe and characters that draw you in from the beginning. There are plenty of twists that will keep you guessing and enough action that you won't be able to stop. Do yourself a favor and get the audiobook, too. The narrator is amazing and brings the whole thing to another level!

Although Sci-Fi is not my typical genre.. This series opened my mind to it in so many ways. It isn't even overloaded with all those confusing terms. It keeps it simple enough that even an unexperienced sci-fi reader, such as myself, can follow along.
Basically, this space Opera follows many different characters with ultimately the same goal in mind. Every character plays their important part to figure out what is going on in Deneb, and what they need to do to help pretty much save the world.
I've also met the authors and got to geek out over everything this Parallax universe is hiding between the lines and that was amazing too!!
