This book sounded very interesting. I truly love the cover. It just screams Sci-Fi and Thriller. Sort of a different type of Alien Invasion Sci Fi read. But as you start, you instantly feel wrong. The writing seems to move between first and third person, present and past, and all in the same sentence. That's an easy fix though. A good editor can change that.Then, the story is very long winded. Things are drawn out. It certainly chops things up a bit. It's a very interesting plot and could be a great story, if things were buttoned up. One thing I've found, is that a lot of new authors think the bigger the words you use, the better. That's not true. You need to understand that not all of your readers have a college education. You don't want them to stop each page and look up words. (Just some advice I was given when starting out.) You really need to write for your audience.I think if an editor were to go through the content, trim the fat, fix the tenses, that this would be a much much better read. It certainly was an interesting plot, it just drags a lot and I found it hard to get through.
