About the author
Danny A. Brown
3 books11 followersDanny is an independent author who is also a computer programmer. Or is it programmer who is also an author? He lives in Florida with his wife, three daughters, and two dogs. When he is not programming or writing he is reading science fiction, his favorite genre!
As he is married and has three beautiful daughters (and two dogs), there was always the need to work to earn actual money while he awaited the United States government to colonize the moon...still waiting. As such he engaged in employment utilizing his skills as a computer programmer. Having developed database systems for client-server environments and web-based systems for decades now, he decided to stretch his legs into the area of creating those stories that always fascinated him.

Reads Like a Children's Bedtime Story Written By Their Teenage Babysitter
Unfortunately, from the get-go, it was readily apparent that "Interloper: The Askirti Chronicles-Book 1," is a poorly written, amateurish, and not designed for adult reading. The story appears geared to young teens and pre-teens. It reads as if an older teenage babysitter wrote it as a bedtime story for her charges.
There are muddled, nearly Illiterate sentence structures abounding. The heroine is very white, and her C.O. is dark black, both rare skin tones in future humanity, according to the author. What skin tone everyone else has, is left unstated. The author is apparently a fan of the old "Seinfeld," television show, as he uses exclamation points to excess, as did the Elaine character's boyfriend in an episode.
Frankly, it was all so very, very bad, that this reviewer, contrary to the usual m.o. of plowing deep into a book before giving up, bailed at 5%.
"Interloper," is NOT recommended and was accessed via Kindle Unlimited.

An action-packed, high stakes Sci-Fi with lovable characters, complex power/political structures, fantasy elements and lots of military starship battle scenes.
Love the female main character who is seen as an ice cold bitch when really she is just guarded.
I received a copy from a goodreads giveaway and it could use small edits, but I loved it and am excited for the rest of the books in the series!
