Review: Reads a bit like a kids SCI-FI book.
Rating: 3 out of 5

This is my first book to read from this author.  The book itself moves quickly and does not have a lot of deep (David Weber deep) dialogue, tactical or technical descriptions.  We get a bit of the basics of the story and then the action moves along.  Things happen quickly and matter-of-fact without a lot of detail in either the issues or technology being used.We do have a bit of a love interest, in fact as the story goes along, I thing that one of the requirements of the High Genetics is the ability to fall in love with their assigned ship partner. I am not sure if this is something the author is trying to do to develop the characters but it seems stilted and really out of character for what I would expect in relationships.I saw several grammatical errors and had some difficulty in tracking who was saying what, when in some of these conversations.I like the story but it needs some polishing.  I ham reading the first Annihilation book next.
