5.0 out of 5 stars A Real Page Turner
What a great book. I'm a big fan of Arthur C. Clarke and Mr. Downing's writing is very reminiscent of Clarke's style. Words are not wasted with the tightly woven prose in this book. It's story, story, story. You just have to move on to the next page to find out what is going to happen next. Since Clarke isn't doing much writing these days, I hope Kerry Downing fills...

1.0 out of 5 stars Typical
Run-of-the-mill "the aliens are coming" stuff, bad X-files carbon-copy...the author took out a classified ad in ANALOG, a journal that would never have touched this tripe with a fifty foot pole. A waste of money.

Since Clarke isn't doing much writing these days, I hope Kerry Downing fills in the void with the kind of fast paced science fiction that you don't see much of these days. Bravo!

This science fiction story is so well written, and so much fun, you might even believe that it could be true! A wonderful story that keeps you turning the pages because you just can't wait to see what happens next! I love the way this guy writes! I can't wait till his next book is available!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Read, September 26, 2004
This review is from: The Collective (Hardcover)
I enjoyed this book very much. I don't read much science fiction but I liked this story because it was well written and had a very interesting story premise. The author writes with a sense of humor and his characters were easy to relate to. I would definitely recommend this book to all readers.
