Review: Good story, poor english
Rating: 3 out of 5

Like others here, I like the story but find the poor command of English to be annoying.  Phrases such as "We need to hold up for the night" instead of "hole up" occurs consistently, demonstrating a poor command of the English language. Then there are the fairly common typos that disrupt the flow.  If you're going to write, have someone good with English review it!  Better yet, have 3 or 4 read it and mark things they find.The story itself is pretty good despite the wild divergence it takes in book III.  The author makes you feel strongly for and against the characters, even if he does reach quite a bit to add more adventures to the ongoing story. There are accurate references to locations, believable people, a good mystery element (character) that very slowly gets revealed through the series, and believable circumstances. Even somewhat believable science thanks to predecessors such as Stargate Atlantis and Star Trek. The author's talent lies in character development and that is what saves the story.A good story, but definitely not something I would pay more then a few dollars for, given the 4th grade English errors occurring fairly frequently and deliberately (if ignorantly) employed by the author. If you don't mind "holding up for the evening" instead of holing up, it's worth the dollar or two for each book, if you really need something to read on your Kindle.  Another one he's good for is "passed time" instead of "past time" for a hobby or common event, such as "It was once a favorite passed time". You get the idea.
