Freefall: An I.N.S.I.G.H.T. SciFi Mystery
We were supposed to be the best of the best.
For three generations they’d refined us, perfected us.
And then they threw us into the deep end of the pool.
The deep-space probe sent back hope, if not promise.
For years they designed and built a ship to get us there.
Innovative, cutting-edge technology.
But the public still called it a suicide mission.
We were the solution to the inquiry.
But we didn’t know what was waiting in the shadows.
We weren’t ready for the deaths.
We weren’t ready for the disappearances.
And we certainly weren’t ready for the natives.

First book of a series. It held my interest but just as it was getting going, the book ended. I didn't feel like I got enough satisfaction to keep reading. I did like the world being built...long space journey to a different world with machinery orbiting it built by an unknown race.

Freefall pulled me in from the first pages and did not let go. The premise is compelling, a crew refined over generations, sent across the void to answer humanity's biggest question, only to arrive and discover they were not ready for what was waiting. The world being built here feels genuinely alive, the long space journey, the unknown machinery orbiting an alien world, the growing sense that something is very wrong beneath the surface.
What I appreciated most is that the characters feel distinct and real. Each one meets the crisis differently and that difference matters to the story. The deaths and disappearances do not feel like plot devices. They feel like consequences, which is rarer than it should be in science fiction.
Yes, it ends before you are ready for it to. But this is the first book in a series and that felt right rather than frustrating. A first book that wraps everything up neatly is not building toward something larger. This one is. The ending is an invitation, not a disappointment.
If you go in knowing you are starting a journey rather than finishing one, Freefall delivers exactly what it promises.
