I loved this book! If you are interested in the social dynamic between different races, moral and ethical plots, and action, this is a great book to read. It's certainly dark and has a lot of tough topics but I enjoyed the way it made me think.

After reading this as a like 3 page short story in Octavia’s brood, I wanted to get the full story. Plus I love Levar Burton. It was great as an audiobook to hear him read to me and there was a lot of special effects and mood music. It was a dark interesting story. He should revise it and re-release it. I think it would be huge. Fantastic sci fi read and it’s nice to hear levar’s prologue in the beginning updating on how he feels and views the world now compared to the world he built in the book. I enjoyed the whole adventure.
