First of all, congratulations to the author for writing a book. Its something I wouldn't even try.With that said, I made it all the way to 9% read before I had to stop reading. I will try to explain my issues without giving any spoilers1. Alot of the situations feel too "convenient". during battle, other ships would arrive at JUST the right time to save the day. certain ship systems would go offline JUST when they were needed most. Communications with unknown aliens worked perfectly the first time they were tried. etc...2. The writing seems jumbled, was very hard to follow at points, I found myself backing up to to read passages again just to see if I could figure out what was going on. sometimes even then I was unsuccessful.3. I wish he had spent a chapter or two building up to the action before throwing us off the deep end of the pool. If I understand the characters better, maybe I will care more about them.In closing, I hate leaving a negative review, but it was a bad enough book that I couldnt finish reading it, and that's a rare situation for me.  If the author reads this review, good luck on your future books.
