A review by johhnnyinla
Homeworld by Evan Currie
3.0
I bought this book several months ago and was eagerly waiting for it the entire time to the point that I arranged my reading at the time of release. Currie didn't disappoint with his story in this latest chapter of the adventures of the Odyssey. Obviously, the action moves on to earth now given the title. It was an exciting story that had some twists and turns--I was especially surprised to see the twist at the end. I won't spoil it to say it was very interesting how the book ended.
This book fleshed out the universe of the series a little more. Readers get to glimpse a little of what the opposing side on Earth looks like as well as the "third" side in space. Unfortunately, that little glance only makes me want to know more about what it was I saw. I have the feeling that Currie will show us more in the next book (or series of books).
One of the most enjoyable elements throughout the series has been the way the author has blended the action in his story as well as the hard science fiction type of details--this has not changed through this book (as well as the first two books in the series). As you read, you get to see the author's solutions for the problems of both warfare and space travel--he has some ideas that while maybe beyond the realm of the possible (at least for now), seem to work or at least don't abandon all the laws of physics. It makes me wish for some TV love for the series as the visuals of his tech in motion would be stunning.
One thing that served as a pleasant surprise: for a small author, grammar and typos were mostly right, making reading much faster and enjoyable.
