I’m sorry. I tried, I really did.

The story sounds like it could be interesting but the author needs a good editor. The sentence formation was painful. The enthusiastic use of commas led to paragraph-length sentences. It just became exhausting to read.

I love a good rollick, and this promised that, but I couldn’t get lost in the story at all. Having to concentrate on interpreting what was written was too annoying to relax into it.

Good characters. Terrible editing!

I enjoyed the character dynamics between the pilot and his organic ship. Creative and amusing. However, I found the story to be edited extremely poorly. Frequent mispunctuation, misspellings, grammatical errors (it's versus its), and constant run-on sentences were a definite distraction.

I saw that the epub was created with Streetlib, so that might explain the frequent errors. Anyway, I won't finish the series, which is too bad.

Just did not hold my interest.

Characterization was lacking, no explanation about different aliens, no info about different planets, the plot was too sketchy, seemed like it was written for young boys.

Introduction book

Good read, strange races or species, well written.
However, the description does not say it is an intro to a series of books? Highly annoying to get close to then and realize that the story can't be done in the remaining pages!

Wasn't gripped by it. Good enough story but I'm not keen on stories where book 1 ends and yoy need to read book 2 to find out where the stories going. Not a complete read and not quite good enough to make me want to go find part 2.

Good scifi story!

If you like reading scifi, you will enjoy this story. Good character development and a good grasp of technology makes this story flow well.

I couldn't put it down and when I did I couldn't wait to continue. I will look into the next book in the series.

An entertaining story

I really enjoyed the novelty of this story and the various plot twists and turns. Plus the reveal at the end was something that I did not see coming.
