"A well written and most fascinating start to what I feel will be an epic story...You have a very nice flow to your writing and I found the opening chapters very engaging and intriguing. "

"I love the overall concept and your writing in general."

"Your book is reminiscent of the literary Goliaths of the last century, heavy on flowing prose intricately descriptive and intellectual expositions covering abstract, socially relevant ideas." --authonomy.com

"This is a well written piece of sci-fi. Its well organised and descriptive enough to allow a good flow to the story without bogging it down. Fair play to ya."

"I think this is a fascinating and strange story. I've never read anything quite like this before. And I mean that in a good way. ;)"

"I'm  happily giving this 6 stars right now."

 

"This is masterful. I am drawn to it more than in the case of 98% of the writings I have reviewed on Authonomy. I'll be backing you soon. I do not expect reciprocal backing. If you are inclined at all re seeking ultimate truth, I suggest having a look at my book. It is Christianity without preaching, presented strictly on an -- I hope -- intellectual basis."
