Review: In need of proof-reading, an editor, and more experience as a writer

Not only does Rogue Hunter -- Gaia: Into the Abyss not feel like a complete story in and of itself (never mind the setting to which it hints at), it reads as one written by a very inexperienced writer.  Hendrickson has a maddening tendency to be overly descriptive where few adjectives are needed, gives no sense of motion or kinetic action to the combat scenes, and feels quite comfortable in borrowing from many other sources when it comes to filling out the edges to his bounty hunter tale.  There just isn't anything here worth reading, and it is (sadly) enough for me to not give the rest of his (free on Kindle) material a chance.I would imagine this is on par with the quality a fifteen year old sci-fi fan would produce.  Yes, Hendrickson did finish the story and get it out for people to read, but I think it would have been more helpful to make a more serious attempt at addressing the idea after gaining a little more writing experience.
