Rating: 4 out of 5

This was a free offering from Amazon.  I chose it because the description sounded very unique.  Imagine being an explorer on a dying world who knows exactly when your world will finally die. Then you find out that there is a chance to save your people. New technology will take you to another world, a colony ship far out into the galaxy. The ship has been traveling away from Earth for more than 100 years.  Little information is known, except that the ship may be alive.  Would you go?Two intrepid adventurers do.  Recovery of a Colony Ship is the story of Michael and Jaimie, two explorers who try to save the last thousand people of a dying Earth.  They step into the unknown and find excitement, fear, terror, and, a new world.I enjoyed the story, but the writing was really rough.  A good editor could have made this book so much better.  There were many grammatical errors, numerous spelling mistakes, and the dialogue was so awkward a fourth grader might have written it.  None of the bad writing hides the fact that  the author had a  great idea or that with help this could be an excellent beginning to unique series.  I hope he gets a better editor.  I will continue reading his books, but the teacher in me struggles to keep her red pen in the desk.
