I'm on chapter 24 and had to stop to write this review. The good news is, I'm really enjoying the book. It's not slow, boring and I like the characters. If the book was boring, I would've deleted it. Of the 30 books I've ordered so far, only seven I couldn't finish or just downright deleted. I'm a writer and I plan on publishing my first book on Amazon one day. I've done the best I could so far but I'm still going to need a professional proofreader. As soon as I can afford one. The author(s) should've hired one. I did find a few typos but that was to be expected. It's the grammar and structure giving me issues. First, there was no need to continuously use the character's titles of 'doctor,' 'sargeant,' etc. Just use their last or first names. Second, a good percentage of the dialogues needed work. Let's say one of the characters had said, '"If we don't kill them first, we'll never get back to Earth." Said Doctor Carter.' The sentence should've read: "If we don't kill them first, we'll never get back to Earth," said Carter. A comma after Earth and a lower case 's.' Third, there's too much space between paragraphs and dialogues. As I said, I'm really enjoying the book. I'll come back to write a second review, as to how I might feel about a sequel.
