Justin McLachlan

I really liked the story and the concept of this one- not completely original but not a topic that is overly done for it to seem cliche'. This story also reminded me of a British show (that I really like) which I won't name because it could be considered a spoiler.

What I wasn't thrilled with was the lack of character development. While enjoying the roller-coaster ride of the story I never connected with any of the characters enough to care about what happened to them. I think the author was attempting to make them all mysterious but it just ended up leaving them as very flat and one-dimensional characters.

So- as far as the story is concerned I give it 4 stars. As far as character development I give it 2 stars. And since it's a local San Diego author I give it an extra half star- to round up to a 3.5 stars.

Recommended if you are fine with not becoming attached to the characters but like a nice science fiction tale.
