 I read this because the ladies at the Vaginal Fantasy Book Club run by Felicia Day were reading this and they were reading it mostly for a laugh, so I did too. And really, that's what it's good for, mostly a laugh. It has the kernel of an interesting science fiction plot in here and there were a number of times through the book where I found myself wondering what the hell was going on and asking myself, is there a chapter missing? What just happened? And I couldn't figure out really these people's relationships to each other. It's not a great example of writing, but it's not hatefully awful either. The villain in here is such a mustache twirling, snidely whiplash type. There's a scene where he is laughing with glee while his bodyguards beat up a group of orphans. I'm not making that up, I'm not even exaggerating. You can support 30 Second Sci-Fi and my other projects by becoming a patron. There's a link in the description below.
