I won this in a Goodreads giveaway a while back. I apologize for taking so long to read it.

The was a great book. The pacing and flow make it difficult to put down once you get into it. The characters were believable and likable. If I get a chance I may pick up the second book.

What promised to be a good story didn't reach the bar.

The three books about the return of humans to life after their extinction ten thousand years promised to be a good story. But... Besides the grammar mistakes and spelling errors, there were too many plot holes to ignore. Come on, ten thousand years have past, cities are in ruins but a chain link fence around an Air Force base is still there and M16 rifles still fire ammunition that still works? Didn't the author ever watch the series After the Humans? Relics of civilization degrade far faster than ten thousand years. Rewrite it and it'll be worth reading.

Good Book to Read for Free if you Have Kindle Unlimited

This book started interesting and it is very easy and quick to read but for some reason it got too predictable for me. I can already see where this trilogy is going but I want to see how the author is going to execute this narrative so I'm going to keep going with book two. Hopefully, some of the plotholes will be fixed then.

Beware the corrupt AI

Dude this book was an amazing experience for me.
I found it very difficult to put down.
Your characters were believable and the premise well developed.
I look forward to reading the next chapter as soon as it downloads to my Fire.
Keep writing and I'll keep reading.

A look into the far future

When I started reading this book, I had some difficulty getting into the story with the main character jumping back and forth from the past to the future. As the story came together , I began to really enjoy the book and quickly finished it.Now I am ready to read the next book in the trilogy.

Despite scientific lapses (memory preserved in DNA recoverable after millenia?), and a plot recycled from Twilight Zone and Star Trek episodes, the writing was entertaining and the plot was fast-paced enough not to be boring.

Echoes of Collosus the Forbin Project

A captivating story. A Clone is the last man on earth. Resurrected by humanoid mad scientists in the distant future. Aaron in wonderland! What's not to like?

I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the Monads and Six. It was a great adventure.

I was gifted an ARC for an honest review.

Awesome

Awesome storyline. Hooked right from the beginning. An interesting take on what the future could possibly hold for mankind and our descendants.

[Amelia · Rating 3 out of 5]

A fun short read. Other reviews mentioned a longer novel. Not sure why my version is only a few chapters long or why I can't find another longer copy on Amazon.

Great Reading

Excellent storyline and wonderful characters which made me fall deeply into the world of the ancestors. I really like this book and I highly recommend it.

[Beverly Fuqua · Rating 2 out of 5]

Poorly written and edited, tons of grammar mistakes, misspellings, which really take from my enjoyment of a book. And the story, it's just not that good.
