Good yarn, well written, but probably didn't quite give as much background as I expected.

This was a more average book than I expected from the initial blurb. The plot line was thin and ended up coming out as some contrived christian v muslim v shady money manifesto #review

Strong to the last word

This is episode 8 and while you might expect a fade this far into a story line, Ryk Brown has provided a strong narrative through the this book. The personal line but through the devastation meshes well with story lines about older adversaries and allies, yet takes the time to introduce new characters and situations. These promise more for future episodes

Chimera is billed as YA Science fiction, and as with the best YA fiction it will appeal to a much broader audience.

The book starts at a fast pace and almost immediately introduces two of the main characters, with the hint of a third. The reader soon finds themselves in a dystopian universe, the colony of Stephens' Point is dying, abandoned by Earth.

The characters of Theo and Selena are well detailed while the other two main characters Marcus and Megan are less so, but still very real.

As a start to what appears to be a series, ‘Universe Eventual', this is very impressive. I would have given it five stars except I couldn't really envisage the environment and place in which it was set as well as I would have liked.

I'm looking forward to more in this universe!

Terrific direction for th is series

Glynn Stewart continues to impress through this series. People die, lots of people die, but Stewart manages to convey for the most part the reasons for their deaths. While his ears are the grist of all space opera you get clear view of its consequences, both intended and unintended
