Awesome Book. It glues you into it from beginning to end. If you're into Sci-Fi this is the perfect book for you. Overall, it's a good read. Mark Healy did leave me wanting more. Leaves you wondering, what next? I wanted to keep reading more. I definitely recommend this book!!
I received a pre release copy of Dawn of Procyon from Future House Publishing in exchange for an unbiased review.

Some folks love this book and I can see why - good continuity of characters, real peril, some world building I can see is going to grow with the series.
It is no The Martian.
There is little humour and the characters are universally selfish, which you can justify Is because their world is harsh and selfishness is rewarded. I found the women in the book caricatures from the 1990’s, and the protagonist so-so.

I quite enjoyed this book. It reminds me of some of my favorite books, like The Martian. It doesn't fall solidly in just one genre. There is world building and a similar feel to fantasy, science fiction, but more hard science than what I expected, and a lot of humor. The feel of the book changes somewhat for me part of the way through, but the writing is good throughout. I think the book will appeal to a wide range of people. There is an obvious setup for the second book.
The narration is quite good. I hadn't listened to this narrator before, but he blew me away. The narration adds another .5 star for me (would rate 4.5 if I could). His voices are spectacular, and he adds so much emotion to the story. It really drew me in.
I received a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left my honest review. The free copy did not influence my review in any way.

Something different
Quite interesting story plot. I wished the author pour more information or something into the story plot. As right now, it is little bland with emotion-wrench moments. I am going for second part of series.

What would you do if you were stranded on a distant planet, running out of air and water and you are being followed/watched by an alien?
Would you be able to survive? Or would you give up?
I enjoyed reading this book. It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading it. I didn’t think that Landry would make it during some points in the story. It was definitely a nail biter!!!
The two subplots were compelling too and the author did a wonderful job of tying them all together at the end.
I didn’t like that it ended in a cliffhanger. I hate them with a passion. But the cliffhanger did get me wondering what is going to happen in the next book (if there is going to be the next book). And that means I that need to read it to find out. Sigh.
Would I read this book again? Yes
Would I recommend this book to family and friends? Yes
Age range: Teen on up.
