i agree with this. I read this book and it quickly has become one of my all time favorites. If you like video games and pop-culture references, the book is for you. the tale itself is pretty awesome...

I agree with Ken. On all accounts.

which certainly rings true for most books but from the top of my head I can name at least one book that got popular and sold well even though the writing was not even mediocre at best (not only the...

since I was the "third" person to point out those things to him (his editor and another reviewer who actually forced his way through the entire book), the author eventually gave his editor free hand...

I once had an author tell me that since I didn't have any reviews of military scifi on my GoodReads that maybe I wasn't really able to understand his military scifi novel. Made me go and re-read (and...

evil Lisa is evil xD

I would publish an honest review with the points you found could have been done differently/better, and point out that the review is for - let's say first edition or so.

why do you think it's so hard for me to keep up? the only time i'm really online is at WORK which starts shortly before the forum clears out for hours. and when I go home, I only use my laptop for...

I can see a mob of people on the ship, or on the construction site, maybe some tourists who came to watch the test (like for the Nasa starts). Yes, people do a lot to survive, but immediate threat...

Dr. Jorkin, waking up in the virtual reality trying to figure out what happened.

yeah, I think we have too much stuff here. So far, I doubt that any of this would keep me reading.

some thoughts from my end:

1.) if the aliens have been sighted, i don't see why there'd be a reason to rush things. i mean only because we see aliens, doesn't mean we run aboard an unfinished...

Windows are actually considered a structural weakness and with most of the colonists being in a virtual reality I can see the Howley being built without any windows at all, since the crew will work...

I wonder if I could apply for that work being a non-native English speaker myself *lol*

I'm still here. just a bit all over the place. I'm honestly a bit overwhelmed by all the information we've put together so far. that and my nonexistent ability to focus when there's such long breaks...

Happy Birthday Lisa :)

I like it a lot. I have a thing for medical officers xD

copied from the other thread:



well personally I was going for what would make sense. If I was just the reader having a story told to me about a ship that wasn't fully finished while the...

well scratch that then.

Worked closely with Dr. Alastair Hendricks who invented the virtual reality.
When the Howley...

Dr. Alastair Hendricks stood on the small platform in front of the laboratory. The sun had just come up, coloring the scene before him in a soft orange glow. The Howley, pride of humanity, sat...

James Vega popped up in my mind the moment I read about muscles, tattoos and all that. so yes, in my head, Boar...

What about making the virtual people just a small part of those that were actually supposed to be on there? What if during the "upload" process the whole thing goes south because the Howley has to...

J4N3M3 is basically JANEME or simply Jane. I like leetspeak what can I say? :D
And yes, a caught in the middle would be nice too, as long as it's not because of an intergalactic freeway and we're...

sheesh, I missed a lot yesterday. I love colony ships :D As to why would Aliens attack Earth I think we should just look at why humans wage war over countries. It's either territory or something they...

good thing I'm a Janeway person, coffee, black :D

but I find chocolate covered coffee beans rather yuck! as much as I love coffee but the roasted beans taste terrible. >.< and I'm not much for...
