The review was thorough and enticed me to read the book, especially as it was made free for the day. Will this book/series follow the path of Star Wars?

Whoa! Sounds great. The well thought out battles, last minute solutions,space, futuristic technology, genetic engineering, AI, etc. sounds interesting. I would very much like to read this book [as I like it's idea & plot and also b'cos I'm writing a graphic novel on something similar(shuuu..! it's supposed to be secret ;P )].
It was a great and a brief review.
Thank You!

I was expecting a sci-fi book and a lot of fighting from the title. It seems this book really lives up to what the title suggests! I personally prefer sci-fi with less conflict and less magic solutions but I'll consider the book.

Great review. Space travel, interstellar conflict and aliens what's not to love, grabbed my copy. Congrats on being BOTD and thanks for making it free.

Definitely seems like a page turner, but this doesn't exactly seem like my cup of tea. Awesome review though, and congrats to the author on BOTD!

I am always skeptical when it comes to aliens. You really need to be a good writer to pull it off. I look forward to reading more on this. The review seems to suggest that it offers too good to be true characters.

This sounds like a very intriguing story. I'm not too big into sci-fi but I'm willing to give this story a shot. Thank you for the great review!

Thanks for your excellent review! Another action-packed sci-fi book I can't wait to read--yay! Unfortunately, sci-fi does have a lot of super beings and some deus ex machina devices, but if the characters and circumstances were ordinary, would we be reading about them? Probably not.

Wow,its quite a nice review. Though am not a person of sci fiction,this one sounds good as it tries to bring out a Utopian concept as if it ever existed. My only wonder is,do this aliens exist?

Sounds like a great SF about a first official alien contact! I especially enjoy space battle scenes, and if they are well-written, more power to the author. Thanks for a free book, I look forward to reading it!

Great review. This sounds like a must read for fans of sci-if adventure. I think it would be a great fit for fans of Star Trek and the fact that it keeps the reader on the edge of your seat the whole way through just makes it that much more intriguing. Thanks so much for sharing.

Well-written review! However, I'm not a big sci-if fan so probably won't read this one. For those who enjoy this genre, it sounds like a good novel.
