I just devoured these 4 books. Really liked the characters and their relatability. Very good narration as well. I want the movie!

commodity

Excellent work, loved it. different worlds same human issues. loved how the author brought it all together
waiting for the next series in this volume. Following the next adventure of the main characters.

Great plot and tempo

Good new story with new material, characters and fast evolving plot. I found it enjoyable

Help from above

In the series and especially this book the author grew the characters changed their outlooks and made them more human We all learned Both alien and human What is means to help It's a good example really for today's time

Better than advertised!

Like the characters and aliens and their worlds. O blah Dee, O blah life goes on!

Worlds of Danger

Although this title is part of a series, it stands on its own quite well. There are allusions to external events, and characters' backstories, but these hints of elsewheres do not detract from a well-written series of simultaneous adventures that share a common time-limited goal.

First person narratives disappointing

I felt pulled away and distracted because of all the first person narratives. Lots of inner thoughts exchanged with the reader that oftentimes times felt boring. However I enjoyed many of the situations, actions, and discoveries while the teams explored planets. I thought a few were intriguing and could tell the author used his creative juices much more in those, example timeloop.

Multiple smaller stories and characters development to paint a bigger picture.

While still entertaining, this book had a lot of individual character development which I found a bit boring. Many of the individual stories were very intriguing, but I wish there had been a lot more focus on our main crew. I was happy to get to the end of this book.

Too much confusion to read

This story is not one story but 3 jammed together. There’s no indication of where or when a character will appear and no scientific basis for the plot.

weak

I loved this series, but this sequel is a shadow of the previous novels. Seriously, splitting the crew into multiple groups to explore strange new worlds does not work for me. Ooh, world-ending threats! Plural worlds! Yawn. I struggled to get engaged and eventually stopped listening at the fourth mission. I get that the author wanted to explore the characters, but the minor characters were too, well, minor to hold my interest.
