A somewhat strange read. An interesting premise, and some adventure. Characters are rather flat. No idea of who they are, just pushed along in the story. By the last 25% of the book, the author has clearly run out of ideas, and cannot figure out how to end the story. Lots of sitting around and blah, blah, blah. Nothing actually happens. DNF. Would not recommend it, even for beach reading.

Quirky sci-fi involving aliens and humans.
A conglomerate of alien worlds, abducts species from other planets and returns them unharmed and largely unaware of the abduction. However, an abduction of a human male, on Earth goes wrong, when the ship he was travelling on, crashes on the wrong planet. His alien abductor is injured and he needs to assist her, in order to survive. This starts an odd relationship, complicated by the rescue of two more humans, both females, before they all manage to escape the hostile planet. The plot is good but the characters are rather shallow and need more fleshing out. The attempts at humour also fall a bit flat. It started off reasonably well but definitely deteriorated towards the end.

Interesting premise gone wrong
The author’s writing style is a bit too stilted and formal to be an easy read. But, the story was interesting enough to ignore that and continue reading. Then it quickly turned into a teenage boy’s (or parent’s basement living adult boy) fantasy. And not a very good one. Any potential male characters other than the main character die, leaving a steady stream of female characters to serve him sexually or in other ways. It’s super creepy and just plain wrong. If you’re into that sort of thing, this series is for you. Otherwise, you should avoid it. I wish I had.

A very enjoyable variation on the “Abducted By Aliens” storyline.
Imagine being abducted by the proverbial “Little green alien.” Then imagine crash landing on a total death trap of a planet that still has living dinosaurs! Then, imagine having to hike a 100 miles with your injured alien abductor to get to another crashed spaceship that you will have to try and repair!! Very entertaining reading and highly recommended! I’m very much looking forward to reading the sequel. Read this book, you’ll be glad that you did! :)

Should have listened to the one stars
I had my doubts about this novel from the reviews, usually the one stars have it right. But I took a chance. Two pages in, enough to know this is very poor writing, chaotic, juvenile, sentence structure non existent. Thought it might be a a very poor Ai generated novel, but not even good enough for that! Cancelled out! Waste of time! I have noticed this phenomena the past four years, where many good reviews but the novel is atrocious! I don’t understand what is happening with writers?

"This hasn't aged well"
... and yet, it's barely a year old.
This started out as a reasonably fun adventure with only bad editing holding it back. Then the editing got even worse. Then the dialogue started to really fail... and then it became so casually morally bankrupt that I struggled to keep reading. I should be more specific, but literally don't care to re-read, even for all the hard errors and parts that were just disgusting.

Fantastic & Fun Abduction Story
What a fun and often funny, alien abduction story. The MC is a level-headed guy that adapts better to an emergency landing than his alien abductors. They rescue each other, and two other abductees, then go on to share a job working together traveling to new planets, meeting new alien species and abducting them for medical testing… Lots of fun!!

Abducted turns Abducter
A very unique tale of alien abduction, survival and how the roles reversed. Very believable scenario. No deep dives on technology or politics and some really alien situations that you never want to find yourself in. Good story, looking forward to the sequel.

A Mixed Bag
An oddly themed storyline, with some very strange aliens and a managing society which seems to be preoccupied with invasive probing of new species. The humor is mostly adolescent in tone, centered around body functions and sexual norms. The story ambles a bit, with only a general focus or plot. There may be a sequel but I doubt that I will continue.

fun story, good setup for series
Fun, fast read. Looking forward to book 2. However. It could use a more thorough edit pass as there are a few places where the word isn’t correct but was relatively easy for me to infer on rereading the sentence. But I AM an editor irl, so others might have more trouble.

A fun read
Loved it! I have been reading a lot of depressing stories lately, this was light and fun. Collins built a quirky gang, wrote a nice story line and I can't wait for book two...

Good conversations
The hike through the double red planet was very fun and I enjoyed the difficulties and the successes. The bat was a surprise and I rather enjoyed how much I reacted to it especially when I found out that it was fake. Good book!

Exciting and hilarious
Loved the entire story... plus low brow humor, sarcasm, alien monsters, friendly aliens, danger, snarkiness, sex... wonderful relatable characters... great fun escapism.

I loved this book
This story was well written. It positively hummed along at a good speed with no long winded boring bits. The characters were great and the plot had plenty of twists and turns. Looking forward to the next one.

Great and funny read
This book is absolute a need to read. Well written, funny, and disgusting. Can not wait to read the second book. I might just keep looking for more books from this author.

Interesting characters but seemed like stilted conversation. Found a few typos but not many. The beginning is much better than the end (nothing much happens except sex).
Did Not Finish
April 10, 2026it's just the same 3 or 4 plot elements from all his other books thrown in a hat and rewritten.

This was painful. The writing was poor, the editing worse. The actual story was halfway decent, at times almost funny. I won't read the gazillion other books David wrote.
