Still FunThe storyline morphs from soft sci-fi in book 1 to classic YA style literature in book 2. With a strong teenage female heroine, the story is a modern addition to the Nancy Drew genre, using the science effects from The Hardy Boys. Overall, still enjoyable as long as you keep your expectations in line.
A decent carry on from the prior volume, the author does a decent introduction but would advise reading book one of series first. Again this more an adventure tale with sci fi aspects but this is not a critique of the book in fact the sci fi content is higher than it's predecessor a trend I suspect will continue through the series. Now on third part so it still held my attention enough to want to continue.
13-year-old shooting down Chinese fighter planes ... I am sorry but there is the point where I draw the line and that is child soldiers.
With a core group knowing about the alien tech, rate of growth expands.From miracle disease cures to new energy and environmental advances appear as our team introduces their alien technology but new concerns keep popping up. More to come.
Amazing that this Author wrote about Ukraine and Russia before the event of the War. How a Author can take Current events and Basically predict the Actions of Russia and the Actions of our Incompetent President Biden. Changing the Gender does not take away from the basic Reality of Cowards. They come in all sorts of Personae. But I do fear for Germany as the basic ideals of some of the East Germans are Russian. As Putin invaded Ukraine, what would it take to invade Germany. This Putin is a Stude...
This book didn't move the story along very much, but it did spend a lot of time clearing the way for some fantastic sounding adventures in the next book. It appeared to be mainly a world building book, but it still had enough of an interesting story to keep it moving alone, and drawing the reader deeper into the plot. There are some interesting things afoot no doubt, and I plan to read the next one to see where they go.
It's goodBut it could use more action, suspense. Maybe a couple subplots. It is fun and I do like the characters. Personally I like more description of physical surroundings. The water, how warm, what are nights like. Trees birds plants wind. Where are they, what does it look feel and sound like. The picture in my head is pretty brown and vague. Not much color.
Book no. 2 is a thrillerWhen you just get over the sleepless nights from reading book 1, up pops book 2 and some more sleepless yawns. Loved the city development, thanks Bob for taking the time to explain things happening instead of glossing over them and then the suspense of the crew awakening, kept me wondering, just what comes next? Enjoy this book everyone.
Nicely paced bookSometimes when a scifi author wrote of a new technology, they forgot that the logistics of that creation is quite long and convoluted. This book addressed those details nicely, enough replicable details with current tech and financial and legal system, but not too much to bore the readers
I enjoyed the first book, but I didn't think that this one really took the story much further. It was quite disjointed with quite a lot of filler, not that some of the little incidents weren't entertaining, but they didn't really go anywhere. There were also a few annoying things e.g.(view spoiler)[After waking the doctor I couldn’t understand why they didn't do something about Commander Centag. They knew he was a serious danger to earth and with the doctor awake they could have at least altered...
Awesome book! Very interesting story line and characters.I really enjoyed this book. It was great to see the continued development of Catie, the main female in the book. as well as the continued development of all the other characters.The continuing development of high tech for the earth, based on alien tech was also quite interesting. Especially given that the Delphi team had to make it appear to have been organically developed by their earth scientists and engineers.I also really enjoyed the e...
Building A CityMarc leads Mackenzie Discoveries in expanding, acquiring more people and introducing advanced technology to the world. They are effective in protecting their secrets and avoid allowing it to fall into the wrong hands. His 13 year old precocious daughter is again the co-star. I like the action, humor, building, and bit of romance. I look forward to the next book.
