Review: Space Opera or B-Movie or Both?
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 09 29, 2012
What happens when a human (Brian) frees himself from a lifetime of torment from his alien kidnappers (the Greys) then is set loose in a galaxy living in fear of the Greys?  Result is a fun, light space opera which reads like a B-Movie due to a strong theme of Brian being rescued by a biologically-compatible all-female race whose population is in drastic decline after a plague wiped out their male population.  I kept cringing to see how far into B-movie territory this part of the story line would stray but, thankfully, it did not go too far too often.  Overall, this is an enjoyable space opera which is light on substance but heavy on battles and intrigue.The Lost Hero is Book I of The Heaven Saga.  I could not find intended length of series in the book or on Amazon. The next book in this series has been published,Sands of Aquarius (Book II of the Heaven Saga).  I enjoyed the first book enough that I will probably get the second book also.Spellcheck typos were regular but not frequent - maybe a few in each chapter.  The Lost Hero is 4,789 Kindle locations long.  Standard length "paperback" novels seem to run in the 4,500 to 7,000 plus Kindle location range.  Long novels can range from 15,000 to 20,000 plus Kindle locations.
