I read a lot of Christian fiction but I've never read a Christian sci-fi book until I came across this one. I have to say it held my attention from the start. It had all the makings of a great story but I had a few concerns. I thought it ended abruptly. I was not satisfied with the ending at all. I felt it needed a lot more. I also felt the story could of used a lot more detail. Such as, Skylar's time on Earth, more about his background and religious beliefs growing up, more details about the tribulation, more about the Sharks and why their numbers were greatly reduced on Tau Ceti, how have they never encountered the remaining Christians in all those years, what happened after Warren and the gang sailed for the first time across the sea, what happened when they met the children of the CetiDrifter. So many unanswered questions. I don't like when a novel leaves questions behind that should have been answered. I also did not believe any of the conversions. NO ONE converts that easily, especially after years of being programmed to believe Christianity is evil. However, I did love the way the author pulls you into the story. That is why I gave it 4 stars because I couldn't stop reading. I just wish the book had a lot more meat to it.BTW, I've seen the reviews that talk about their dislike of this book's Christian theme. That makes no sense to me since the description does a good job of describing what this book is about.
