Rating: 5 out of 5

I would have given this book a 4.5 just for the editing problems but gave it a five instead of a four out of frustration at the negative reviews. I had this book sitting on my kindle for a week or so not bothering to read it because some of the reviews made it sound only mediocre. I sat down and read this through in one sitting. It was great. It did have quite a few typos, and misprints but for crying out loud its a self published book THATS FREE!I would love it if the author was able to make the book $3.00 and get some money for his work so that he could write a second. For a debut novel which I believe this is, it was a stellar performance. The character development was great. I could have used a little more antagonist descriptions ( its good to also get to know the bad guys we don't like), but the good guys were very knowable lovable. Sure parts were a little far fetched but its fantasy fiction?This book is chock full of heroism, good characters making common sense decisions honorably and humor.I would really like to see the story develop more, and a great way to do it would be to write it from the perspective of other survivors and give more "alien" information. HINT HINT.I would buy a book two for anything under $5.00 (my usual kindle cap) without hesitation.The language and sexuality and violence would all be rated about a soft PG-13. The sexuality in the book is just verbal discussions about sex not actual descriptions. I will recommend this to my older teen not my younger one yet.
