Wow! Now that was a excellent story! I'm 3 for 3 in contacting OUTSTANDING Indie Authors with unique voices and incredible story telling abilities!! I am so glad I stumbled upon this gem on Goodreads.com and contacted the author about reading and reviewing the book. The premise of aliens, Earth and a war caught my attention initially. I had no idea what I was in for. Looking for adventure, adrenaline, sex, lust and romance with a dash of humor? Look no further. Ms. Town has packed it all into Wastes of Space.
I refuse to give details on the plot because I will not give away anything. The construction of the novel works well with the plot line and everything is revealed exactly as it should be. I admit that at least for the beginning, the build up is slow and gradual in filling in these gaps in information. This could bother some people, but let me tell you the novel is worth sticking with. You will not be disappointed. You get thrown into this strange new world that is somehow different but at the same time very familiar. It is filled with a wide variety of all these people and you get so little information about what is going on with them or why they do what they are doing. But I loved the way the author began introducing little snippets of information about her characters and where the story line could go. Very well done!
The cast of characters are very well drawn. I fell in love with all of them and root for each and every one of them. They are an interesting bunch of characters, and their lifestyles may push the envelope a little too much for some, but that was just one more thing that I loved about them. Something that struck me as I was reading was I kept thinking that these were they types of characters I would expect to find in a book by Clive Barker. There were no molds for these characters because let me tell you even if there were they not only broke them, they obliterated them.
I can't believe the adrenaline rush this book left me with. Add that to the list of things I LOVED about the novel. There was so much action, so much tension building throughout the last half of the novel it keeps you reading wanting more more more! I'm really looking forward to the second novel and was pleasantly surprised to learn I can get my hands on the next installment. Far too often I'm left hanging for another year waiting for the next release. This is one time that will not be the case!
Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys a really good science fiction novel with excellent world building. Oh and if you are a Star Wars fan like I am.....well you just may appreciate the novel all the more.

This sounds interesting. I guess I need to go look at a synopsis to see if it would be a good fit for me.
ReplyDeleteLove your enthusiasm!
I'd recommend checking into it to make sure you would be interested. There may be some situations that the writer goes into that some may shy away from so I would say check the authors bio as well. She lets you know up front what you may expect to find.
