Is this Asimov? No.  Is it Tolkien?  No.  Is it Pournelle?  No.Was it fun?  Heck, yes!The Annihilation series (all 7 books) were a blast to read, and were real page turners. The characters were fun, the adventures were ever increasing with scope (near over-the-top), and the content was safe for my entire family.Honestly, this was a sci-fi book written by a fan of sci-fi that  just wanted to share his own personal adventures with others.Thankfully the Kindle world allows for easily "publishing" books like this!I give this book (and the series) 4 stars and not 5 for only one reason: While I enjoyed the stories and felt really good for reading them, the writing does not compare with the masters in the profession.  Time and polish will help in that regard.With that stated, this series is highly recommended to someone wanting lite sci-fi reading, where the story continually matches your hopes on what would be the coolest next step (as opposed to the never-ending disappointments that often encompass stories where "reality" dictates that everything be a grey-world of "win some lose some".).
