Nelf Rings
New technologies create new and unexpected hazards. In the not-too-distant future, humanity has developed a faster-than-light engine, and has begun to explore the first 200 hundred light years in every direction from Sol. Planets discovered and cataloged in the previous century are investigated using the new engine. Additional worlds in radical locations are discovered as the first and second waves of explorations are sent out from Earth. Some of the worlds are habitable by humans, and some of the worlds bear evidence of visitation in the distant past by a species the explorers call Nelf. Nelf objects that remain on these worlds are impossible to understand and may or may not be functional. No signs exist to indicate the fate of the Nelf in the time between their last activity on these worlds and the arrival of humans.

1) What a great premise for an ongoing story. Miller could probably sell this to NetFlix as a series script today. It's epic in scope, there's a great mystery, and there's originality. Sci Fi geeks obviously love it (based on those 5-star Amazon and Goodreads ratings that sucked me in), and for an independent and self-published book it seems like it's gotten a lot of attention.
2) This is why editors get paid, and books turn out better 99.9% of the time when they're run through a legitimate publisher . I'll limit my rant, but this thing is a meandering mess. Still interesting enough to keep you reading (because you seek a satisfying resolution to the mystery) but all over the place. Plotlines appear and vanish. Characters change inexplicably as the book unfolds, and characters that are introduced as the "main characters" at the start just fade off into bizarre scenarios by the end, in exchange for characters that were just introduced.
Is this a series?! There's no indication it is, but it better be. If this is really the ending then this book sucks.
Even if it is a series, I couldn't read another of Miller's unedited books. Here are the most significant low-lights in my opinion:
-The plot mess and the unaided confusion of too many characters in too many locations.
-The errors in spelling, usage, and 1950's terminology. Asian people are "Orientals" throughout this book.
-Worst of all (by far) is the juvenile, pervy tone anytime and every time a woman interacts with a man alone. If I were a woman I wouldn't be left unarmed with ANY male character in this book. It's like a horny 13 year old boy writing about women. Yeah, that's how a lot of sci fi geeks tend to write women, but this is extra creepy. The captain of a starship comes into a scene, and all we'll read about is how her boobs are perkier in zero gravity and how she's so happy with that. The women are always touching their bodies in bizarre, pervy scenarios. The men show up dressed for work, but anytime a woman gets dressed, you can bet you're going to read about it AND hear about her underwear. Worst of all: there's unconsensual sex of various kinds throughout the book. That's pathetic and wrong, and it bothers me that so many readers must be in a mindset that considers writing like that worthy of five stars.

Staggeringly sexist book that thinks it isn't, which makes it worse. Potentially interesting plot spirals in on itself and slows down to space out the disappointments, finally landing on not so much a cliffhanger as a broken traffic light. Never before have I met such an interesting premise so thoroughly mishandled as to make me want to strike the author's name from my memory like a tedious and dimly remembered nightmare.

This book is a goddamn masterpiece of science fiction. It's exactly the kind of science fiction that engages and excites me. Because although it is extremely speculative in nature, it is still sounds like hard science or as close to it as possible. Reading this book was a similar experience to reading a saga by one the greats of science fiction writing. It's That good.
The story sounds exceptionally original (I've not read anything like it yet) as do some of the concepts related to the alien species and their mode of transportation. Definitely interesting and refreshing to encounter an alien species that is not humanoid in nature.
However. I have one major gripe with this book for which I had to dock a star. The amount of sexism and sexual objectification of women was extremely bothersome and distracting. Even worse was the event related to the women on a planet being exposed to testosterone and being unable to control themselves. I call bullshit on that. To me it just appeared to be a poor attempt to defend men's lack of sexual control as adolescents and at the same time, glorifying their impulse control "learned over several years." Women experience far more hormonal changes than men and don't turn into impulsive monsters. If anyone can handle that much testosterone and not devolve into a sex maniac, it is women.
A good editor would have been extremely valuable to the author to address these problems (as would some self-education on treating women with respect and biology).

Great beginning to a wonderful series.
Merv Miller spins a sci-fi story like Beethoven writes music.
He creates a believable story using creative future technology woven with a new and unique alien society.
I highly recommend this book and I am writing on pins and needles for his next installment.

I rarely give out 5-star ratings. My last was for "The Martian".
Great story! This is the kind of stuff I like, exploring new worlds, discovering new technology and alien cultures, while trying to figure out humanity's place in the universe. Miller explores all these concepts via several storylines that eventually come together at the end of the book.
This is the story of humankind's first explorations beyond the "speed-of-light" limitations of the past, told from the perspectives of explorers of several different expeditions as well as the researchers, bureaucrats, and a few involuntary pawns from earth. Realizing that the story is actually multiple stories with a common thread, makes the reading easier to accomplish at the beginning. Everything revolves around discoveries of unfathomable, abandoned technology discovered at various locations within our galaxy. This intriguing, technology seems to have been left by an extinct(?) alien race far superior, technologically, that our own near-future human race.
Miller's multiple storyline style, similar to that used by Hugh Howey or G.S. Jennsen, gives the reader a "larger picture" perspective and hints at a possible saga beginning to unfold.
I am not fond of cliffhangers and, while this novel does seem to be the first of a series, it did not provoke that "left-me-hanging" feeling at the end. Miller ties together the storylines at the end revealing the common thread and the relationship that each story has to the other. There is a sense of further adventure and intrigue yet to come and, optimistic anticipation of possibilities yet to be realized. It is not so much a cliff-hanger, but the end of one chapter in a larger story.
I will be anxiously awaiting the sequel and hope it is not far down the road.

Should have been fun, wasn't
This book seemed as if it would be a fun read. Instead the writer is off to the races with his personal politics.
One character is proud that his fellow crew mates don't think he's gay, not that there's anything wrong with being gay. The same character was worried that female crew would not measure up but that he was pleasantly surprised his female engineer subordinate was very good.
That threw me but I thought it was just a ham handed nod to gender equality. He has a character explaining that the U.S. constitution was their legal framework for a150 person research outpost. He claims that it was the best framework they could find. Forget the way acceptance of millions of slaves over several centuries is not even an issue in the document, the right to vote limited to 25% of white males, a legal system that accepted black slaves as animals but apportioned seats in the House of representatives counting a black slave as 3/5 of a person. How does a research outpost create its own laws and why do 150 researchers and techs need a government. Isn't that the responsibility of the colonial authority that is providing the food, equipment and other supplies to this outpost.
The gun restriction dialogue from the same character explaining that the lack of U.S. gun laws were proved correct, was too much. Especially when he notes that it's The Africans who are suffering from gun violence. I guess the Middle East got squared away but that seems a lot racist to me.
He managed to ruin a good premise with a number of stiff characters and inserting himself into the novel. I am afraid where he will go next. I won't be reading him again.

I kept wanting to like this book. It's a good tale, with advanced alien technology, otherworld adventures, and a host of plot ideas that should have hit the mark for me. It took me a while to realize why I wasn't enjoying this book as much as I should have. It was about half again as long as it should have been. It's in bad need of some editing. The author continually spent long passages describing esoteric technical, cultural, and social details that really played no part in the story lines. It's always good to use them in order to create backstory and context, but this book gets bogged down in them instead of moving forward as it should.
For instance, in one scene a govt agent grabs her pistol out of a drawer to take with her, as a sort of afterthought. Problem is, I had to read two and a half pages that described the gun, its uses, its bullets, the woman's history with guns, etc. And then, poof... no more mention of it. It played no part in the story. This sort of thing happens over and over in this book, and it's a shame, because he's otherwise a fine writer, and the story could have been much tighter and more compelling. I found myself constantly stopped in my tracks, wading through more details, hoping the story would get moving again.
Eventually it gets us there, but it was a bit of a slog for me. I really wanted to be able to give this book 5 stars, because I love hard science type sci fi, and this book fits squarely in that genre.

This one was a hard one for me to rate. On the one hand, it's a very intriguing premise. On the other hand, the story telling was VERY clunky.
Nelf Rings evokes a certain nostalgia for Frederick Pohl's HeeChee saga. Similar premise, as near future humanity encounters artifacts of a long dead alien civilization strewn throughout the galaxy. Eventually some of the alien (Nelf / Xxnnff) technology gets puzzled out and the various protagonists get some of it to work.
The writing however felt extremely amateurish at times, with character dialogue and reactions feeling very B-movie and/or not making sense at all. There were a ton of characters (7 worlds worth!) and the author further confused the writing by alternating how the characters were referred to (by the same POV no less); first name, last name and sometimes nickname. Also the author swapped points of view constantly during the narrative, which was also extremely confusing and broke the rhythm of the book several times. The ending was a bit forced, dropping off for what seemed like a setup to a sequel but done ham-handedly so.
Having said all that, the interesting premise, technology and some of the characters would make me pick up another installment of this. I hope the author refines his craft a bit with the next installment though.

Interesting Novel
Very interesting premise about some missing mysterious aliens. I loved the space exploration in this book. The author did great at world building. However, I sometimes lost track of who’s who at times due to the author switching between first and last names, but overall, relatively easy to follow. Sometimes the characters motivations were a little questionable especially towards the end. And I still don’t know what was up with all the random sexual themes sprinkled in. Uber weird. I’m curious to find out what happened with the characters on the ship with the mold.
The characters were taking all kinds of elaborate actions to protect weapons that for all intents and purposes, were hypothetical. No one ever found one weapon yet everyone was fearful of Earth doing so. Weird. Also, quite a few things happened that you wouldn’t see happening in a similar situation in real life. Seems like none of the government facilities or expeditions in the novel had any kind of security processes because people were literally walking in off the street to participate in what would typically be highly secure projects and then just filled in on information you just would not tell them in this about. Those parts will definitely require some suspension of disbelief.
These were my primary issues with the book but overall, Nelf Rings had a good premise and decent storyline so I will pick up the next part when released to see where the author goes with this.

Nelf Rings (Kindle Edition) by Mervin Miller
Well written and a great story. Set in the near future, with a backdrop of Humans finally developing a superluminal drive that will take us to the stars. So far, we've only been able to go out to about 200 lightyears away, and only a small handful of settlements. Each place has some alien, Nelf stuff there.
The characters are well developed, and quite plausible. As the various adventures, and subplots infold, the story takes on greater and greater emphasis. And the various folks reactions to some very unexpected twists, and through some very dark corners, is very real.
We some brain wiped people become human again, with the aid of a small piece of the Nelf technology, and then the story extrapolates from there.
Definitely a worthy read!

I love the story line. A well developed setting with interesting people, plot and story. I recommend it.
I do have the same complaint mentioned by other reviewers. The story jumps around from planet to planet. It's hard to keep all the characters straight and where they are and if they have "rings" or not.
The story seems to have more detail that needed. I think it could be 20% shorter and still be a great story.
And I am getting frustrated with authors who feel like they have to write a series. Clearly this book leaves us hanging. And when the next installment come out, I'll probably buy it. And I'll bet it will leave me hanging, too!
All that said, I still think its a good read.

Epic scope, original plot ideas, great scenes, some interesting characters. It needs chapter headings when the scene shifts from planet to planet and some editing for consistency. The scene with the women who were affected by the strange scent was interesting but just dropped. It did not fit the rest of the story.
I pity the reviewers who can only see a story through political blinders. Get over it! This is a great, swooping epic of a science fiction story and it ends as if there were a sequel coming.
Merv Miller, if you read this, get an editor and keep writing! Ignore the SJW's - they only read Little Women.

This book was a great find. I enjoyed the story and the author's construction of this world and the people within. I hope that Mr. Miller continues to write and someday returns us to this universe. Nelf Rings covers humanities initial investigation of the local galaxy and delves into what could happen if we find the artifacts of a very advanced, very old civilization that may or may not still be existent. The characters also contemplate how best to research and conserve the technology of their finds and the implications that such finds may have on the governments of earth.

Good read, sometimes difficult to keep track of all the story lines.
Enjoyed the book very much. Lots of story lines, with one of them not really fitting into the story. You will find yourself going back to previous chapters in order to “remember” someone or some place. Worth the time.

Excellent Read
At first I did not believe I would finish this novel but found it enjoyable and fast paced. The author has his own style, which seemed overly simple at first but I found myself more and more drawn into the characters and plot, and ended up feeling the novel ended too soon.

Innovative and unique.
This is science fiction at its best, though frustrating to read at times due to the many different story lines necessary to build the plot. Thankfully, they all converged gracefully towards the end. The character development is good, the overall concept unique, and the writing style flows naturally. I'm looking forward to more!

One of most entertaining novels I have read in the last 5 years. Excellent character development but still with a few dangling threads, especially Jane Doe.
I smell a sequel coming, soon I hope. I would recommend this novel as a must read, and look forward with anticipation to book 2 in the multi novel story.

A new technology, multiple exploration of planets with different challenges.
Story is a phenomenal read with lots of texture. This is obviously a first book of many. A new technology, multiple exploration of planets with different challenges. Believable characters with no special talents or luck. No plasma blasters. But a great developing story.

Serious Sci-fi
I could hardly put this book down, it is that good. Mervin Miller appears to be a reincarnation of e.e. doc Smith, Andre Norton, Robert A. Heinlein, Clifford D. Simak.....I could go on and on! If you love hardcore sci-fi that is very believable, this is the one. I seriously hope there is another novel that picks up where this one left off.

It's rare for me to ever abandon a book halfway through.
I swear I tried my best. The concept is scintillating - even intriguing- but the narrative is simply terrible. Characters seem to do the most implausible & stupid things... it just made me angry with the author.
I really want to know how the book ends, but I can't bear to continue reading it.

Wow, what a fantastic universe
I loved to characters depth. The storyline was plausible and so fun and fitting of current political events of any decade. I do so hope to read a continuation of this story someday (soon, author plz) A great story for sci-fi fans and fans of epic tales

Couldn't put this down! I enjoyed the references to other authors. Looking forward to reading more from Miller. I especially liked going from universe to universe & the different plotlines specific to each world.

Great Scifi
Not too many implausables enough to develop the very creative plot. Interesting threading reminiscent of Stevenson like Seveneves. Will want to read the sequel. could be an interesting new author.

Would have rated it 5stars, but....
..... I think the story could have been told in about 2/3 the size. I almost stopped reading it several times, but it is a good story. I'm glad I kept reading. The last 10 percent is really good. Hope Mr Miller writes a follow up.

A poorly written story.
I picked this book because I like reading about finding ancient artifacts. However there were to many characters with unrelated story lines which confused and distracted from the overall story.

Intense reading. That you will not want to put down!
Great book, the main story has several underlying smaller teist that build the book as a whole!
I look forward to the next book in this series!

Here's my issue with this book: there is zero humor, not even a chuckle. This book is so dry I had to read it in the rain! Life is sometimes amusing, even if you're traveling light years in space. Unless his male/female roll definitions in this book are his attempt at humor.

This was a very entertaining read. Though, there are too many loose ends. I'm looking forward to a sequel soon.
