It is a feasible theory but slightly depressing. This is about politics, corruption and advanced society. Six very unlikely individuals become a "skeleton" crew on a space ship in search of what is suppose to be a life-changing voyage. Will they be able to work together with such extremely varying backgrounds? Each has issues he/she needs to resolve to successfully move on in life. They are a team and must be able to trust one another. Trust is easily lost and difficult to gain. They are faced with many challenges in their journey for success. The characters are described well and the scenes are portrayed well. The book cover image and title are a good "fit". It was difficult for me to "get into" but as it progressed it became easier to "connect with". *This book was gifted me with no pressure for a positive review. This is my honest review. I am a sci fi fan. Thus the reason that I was wanting to read this book. In the beginning I was into this book. Instantly, I had an whole picture in my mind of what the world looked like as well as the characters. Somewhere along the way and it was kind of early on into the story that I found myself losing interest. While, each character had their own personality, I found myself not connecting with any of them. Therefore no matter how good the story may have been; it was like my mind went from a whole movie playing in my head to a blank, black screen. Although, I will tell you that had I been able to connect with the characters better that my feelings towards this book would have greatly improved. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Five thousand years ago in a savage assault, someone tried to annihilate humanity. They almost succeeded. Now, millennia after the First Stellar Civilization's cataclysmic destruction, humans have clawed their way back from the brink of extinction and returned to the stars. Massive riches in the form of forgotten tech lie hidden in the ruins of the First Civ's dead, shattered worlds. For a prospector with luck and the right coordinates, they are ripe for the taking. Holtz Mitsumi has neither. Down and out from a failed expedition, Mitsumi allows an enigmatic stranger to talk him into one more prospecting run. After scraping together a crew, Mitsumi embarks with high hopes. But nothing is as it seems and this run may be his last. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

I don't read much science fiction, but the concept of this one caught my attention immediately. The storyline itself was intriguing; though I know little to nothing about sci-fi, it was easy to become invested in the storyline. I could easily see the world and plot happening as I read.
I didn't have much of a connection to the characters, but they were well-written. It was a bit difficult for me to keep up with all of the names used, though. Bates switched between using first and last names for the characters; I think if he'd stuck to either first or last names, it would've been easier for me to keep track.
This was a good read, but I do think it would've been better if I'd been able to connect with the characters better. Either way, I enjoyed the book and will definitely look into the second book.
