This book begins with political Maneuvers all throughout and it's not really
clear what happened to earth or what's going on exactly I feel like I was
dropped in the middle of the story.

And there are these italic inserts every so often of what sounds like aliens
bent on conquering the earth. According to the blurb the dreams Javenny is
having are supposed to be about this dying alien race but based on Javenny's
description of the dreams it sure doesn't sound like it. she dreams of flying,
strings of light and pain. Finally at the end of what my e reader indicated as
Chapter 19 the dreams actually become about the alien race know as the Shraum
and their demise by what is known The Disruptor. In Chapter 27 Javenny is
describing the dreams to Archeron and these descriptions should have been used
earlier in the book instead of the vague and weird descriptions which were used
that did not indicate anything about another planet or alien race.

After reading a while I think I figured out what the author was trying to do.
The aliens it seems are sending out a broadcast warning the inhabitants of the
planet. I'm not clear on what the warning is exactly but some are receiving
these broadcast as strange painful dreams that are unclear but leave the dreamer
filled with a sense of dread, death, and destruction.

Even though I eventually figured that out there is still so much in the book
that is hard to understand. I feel that the writing it self was great. Even with
the confusion I got drawn in I really like Javenny Pink and Coye Archeron. Their
characters were written very well and were realistic.

I even like the concept the author was trying to convey but I felt there was too
much going on and not enough back story. For instance what happened to the
earth. Why is their a shortage of clean water. What exactly is the purpose of
all this electronic espionage. Why is broadcasting around the planet so expensive

and controlled by just one company.

After Completing the book the authors message became clear we are destroying

the planet by polluting it with technology and manipulation. Al Onia is a geophysicist.

and his passion for the planet is evident in this story. Which is mostly well written.

Aside from the confusion in the beginning I feel the book was good if that issue
were fixed this would be a great book.

As is though some readers may become frustrated trying to determine what's going on. ( )
