Rating: 3 out of 5

Featuring technological advancement; this story revolves around ancient revelation of future technology aimed at diverting global annihilation of the species: Homo Sapiens.Interesting in premise, the story is quite busy. And while the story-line covers a period of a year, I rarely got the sense of the progression of time. Some method of time indication should have been employed in order to foster that sense of time; not only for the sake of the story, but also to foster the sense of impending doom that ultimately is the subject of the story.In terms of being busy, I had a difficult time keeping characters straight in my mind as I read. I think I would have liked to see the characters developed more - of course that would have meant paring the story line if novella length was to be maintained.The story was a good, which made for a good read. But I have to keep the story out of the ranks [see scale below] of 'excellent' because of poor editing. I was bogged down and distracted by the frequent misuse of THERE, THEY'RE, THEIR; WHERE, WERE, WE'RE; TO, TWO, TOO. Compounding these eratta were the frequent misuse of the apostrophe in the possessive case, as well as in contraction of verbs.A good editing, and better character development in future editions of the story could very well achieve the mark of excellence that I look for in the quality literature.All that being said: I was blown away by the final chapter's revelation. Kudos to the author for that gem which establishes the awaited sequel...I rate this book 3 stars out of 5 on the following scale:+ poor read++ so-so read+++ good read++++ excellent read+++++ life changing read
