The Wrong Stars

This first tale in the planned Axiom trilogy was all that I had hoped for, and more. True space opera with crazy/wonderful inventiveness and imagination realistically realized, far-flung locations, believable and likable characterizations, a plot that seamlessly led from one locale to the next, and two (count ‘em, two) alien cultures that were, in my opinion, strokes of genius in their development and execution. Needless to say, I am excited for the next book, The Dreaming Stars.
