Customer Reviews

The most interesting aliens in recent science fiction!

One thing we really liked about this book was the aliens were very original. Also, it was one of those books you just can't put down -- I read the whole thing in one sitting, staying up all night to finish it rather than stop. We also liked the relationships between the humans and the aliens and how they learned to co-exist. We definitely recommend this book!!!!

Energetic prose creates a new kind of cyber-myth

Don DeBrandt has skillfully created a fast paced, exciting and creative novel set far in the future, but resonating with mythology as old as mankind. Jon Hundred is a cyborg who has gained his physical freedom, yet whose mind remains a prisoner from a former life he cannot remember. His relationships with the humans, aliens and a very special artificial intelligence on an outpost at the edge of the galaxy create a fascinating tale of the struggles that each undergoes to gain freedom. Highly recommended.
