A lone human is awoken from cryo-stasis by an alien race: the Vantagax. Earth and the rest of the Sol System is destroyed and barren, and humans have disappeared from the galaxy. The Vantagax want to know where all the people have gone, and they won't accept ignorance. What is one to do when they're abducted by an alien race and taken to the stars?
The setup of this story is interesting. The ending feels a bit hurry and overall plot familiar.
This book has succeeded in prompting me to think about how it feels like to be the last known terran, carried by different alien races in a quest for the missing terran colonist fleet. The tracking of traces and contest over the last terran to gain access to the rumored powerful fleet are fast paced and suspenseful.
However to give the story an epic ending, the author has added mysterious "entities" from other dimensions of which no explanation is given. I feel that an open ending might be better.
Imaginative, different and a thumping good read. An intriguing premise, a unique collection of aliens and an adventure full of startling twists made this an enthralling read. Another talented voice amongst the plethora of scifi writers. A very pleasing find and another new author to add to my favourites list. Highly recommended.
An excellent Sci-fi story, well crafted and interesting. it has plenty of twists and turns right from the first page all the way to the end. I'd highly recommend.
Great book. Great story, but I felt confused at times. One second he was doing something and the next he was doing something else with little to no transition. Overall the plot was great and I loved the characters and the science behind it.
quick easy read, entertaining, writing isn't fantastic with some cliched devices and story seems to be a combination of , the aliens are unimaginative and the science is definitely not hard by any means, the ending was pretty cheesy, but overall i enjoyed it, worth the money, and far more enjoyable than rewatching the same old tv shows because i'm too lazy to invest myself in a longer story. worth reading if you got hooked by the original reddit post just to flesh out the story but it's not revolutionary
I read a lot of sci-fi books and this book has a very interesting and novel take on the first contact theme. I normally don't like books written in first person but I feel like it really worked in this book.
