1.0 out of 5 stars Potential Missed... August 26, 2012

By The Hudak

This book was not, by any standards, great.

The story had potential and the characters were not unlikable. There were tendencies toward cliches and a severe lack of editing. If you can look past rampant grammar errors, vague details, inconsistent tenses, and similar problems, then you might manage to enjoy this book. There was potential here, and I will consider buying the second book (depending on the price), but the writing needs some work.

I recommend the author consider hiring an editor (you can find freelance editors online fairly inexpensively). You seem to have decent ideas, but your unedited writing may hurt your career in the long run.

All that said, I did not hate this book, but it was hard to get past a few of the outstanding grammar issues; they actually made the story and dialogue a little hard to follow. They were so significant that I can not, in all conscience, give this particular book a rating higher than 1 star.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read July 2, 2012

By Razerwing

Format:Kindle Edition

Let me start off with saying I really enjoyed this book. I had a hard time putting it down, and the fact that it is just the beginning of a new series is beyond great news. Story and characters are great, and presented in a neat way. Looking forward to more!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good book. June 30, 2012

By John Davis

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

When it comes to reading, characters make or break a story. And this story has very real and very solid characters. My favorite is Medicene Man Monti. From the moment I began reading this it seemed like a different kind of science fiction, and that's a good thing. Using the backstory of Native Americans was a big plus for this story. This book is WELL WORTH the asking price and it's exciting to know that "Spirit Lance" is Robert Tabb's first novel, because it's only going to get better.
