Review: Get a good editor

Bad editing and sloppy writing mar a roaring good space opera. Recommendation: First, go through the manuscript and root out the cliches. Then trim down the over-used adverbs ("he said calmly"). Then reduce by at least half the times characters discuss being tired, needing rest, sleeping and waking up. Then turn it over to a good copy editor to fix the grammatical mistakes and typos. And finally republish it on Amazon. This is too good a story to annoy the reader with sloppiness. At the end, the author asks readers if they want a sequel. For me, a conditional yes, as long as it's another good story, more carefully written.
