Hook:
Wall-E meets Starship Troopers, not exactly!
Plot Summary
Humans seeking a new home to live on, run against a terraformed earth like planet being protected by Dr. Kern and her satellite, a thousands of year old relic of the mighty, multiplanetary human empire.
The spiders on the planet have evolved into much more by Dr. Kern's nano-virus experiment originally intended for monkeys.
Praise:
Very original tale out of cliché Sci-Fi tropes like destroyed planet and giant spiders. Loved the way author managed to this.
Strong character development for certain characters.
Amazing twist, makes me anticipate the next book.
Critique:
Motivation for certain characters is not justified.
Destruction of the human empire is quite not believable and could have been explored and justified a bit more.
Story emphasizes the view point of a certain character too much the pay off is not there or the character is really dull.
Recommendation:
Highly recommended!
