Review: Promising series beginning
Rating: 3 out of 5

'59 is the first in a sci-fi series about humans exploring beyond our own solar system.The premise is interesting but the story is very short. It is basically a set-up the for the series. Lots of points are introduced but not developed. There is no resolution. It was difficult to really get invested in the story and characters. I also noticed that the tense shifts between past and present for no apparent reason, which I found distracting.This was a quick read and interesting enough for me to want to read the next book to find out where it goes. If you are a fan of sci-fi space stories, I recommend it, but prepare to keep reading because this one does not stand alone.*I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
