Solid scifi with an interesting premise, nicely executed. This doesn't have the polish that a more experience author might produce, but nicely done nonetheless.

I really appreciate the free copy for review!!

Uhmmm I thought I would be reading about how a crew would survive on a foreign planet, but that wasn't really what this book was all about… let me explain, without spoilers, what I mean… we do have a crew arriving/crashing in a foreign planet (at least looks like it), but is not really about surviving, is more like the river always goes to the ocean, and if you read you do understand what I mean…
when I started this book I was loving it, then it just got weirder, and now that I finished it, I don’t know where I stand about it… yeah, the obvious thing is not what is reality, and what is happening is told by unreliable narrators, how deep can we go into despair?

Its still worth give it a try, but it goes much more into speculative fiction mixing to it, religion a lot of magical thinking and a bit of transcendence of the mortal soul and what you end up is this book in a nutshell, Maybe I wasn't really the intended reader for this book.

Thank you NetGalley and BooksGoSocial, for the free ARC and this is my honest opinion.

This was such a great scifi novel, it had everything that I was hoping for. I loved that this worked as a Sci-fi thriller and still had humorous moments. I enjoyed everything that was going on and thought the characters were perfectly written in this world. Phil Moore does a great job when writing this and created interesting characters for this world. I can’t wait for more in this series and author.

I really enjoyed this book! A lot of talk of collective consciousness and the value of time in life, and a really interesting voice. It's sort of kind of from the perspective of a planet, and an expedition of humans crashes on this planet and the planet learns about what it means to have others outside oneself. Strong imagery, realistic character-driven choices.

I was given an advance release copy via NetGallery for this book.

This books is kind of a combination between the Three Body Problem and The Martian.

The plot is a group of 5 astronauts using a FTL drive accidentally end up in a pocket universe and freak out as they try to figure out the rules of their planet.

I fully enjoyed my time reading this, however
I would have preferred harder and deeper science. Also I wish the characters were not acting so clearly a stupid way

Four stars for this: I can fully recommend this as an pleasurable read.

Although the framework is Science Fiction, the story is far more a Speculative Fiction, more like "Quantum Metaphysics," evaluation of and expansion of Consciousness, Thought Creation.

A small scouting crew use faster-than-light technology to reach Proxima Centauri B, an Earth-similar exoplanet. At least, that is the intention, but an inexplicable crash landing strands them on a livable but very strange planet, with all the ship's electrical components and foodstuffs rendered useless. Then they discover the planet's amazing mutability. The Consciousness manifesting as this unknown and alarming planet acts as the book's unreliable (and somewhat temperamental) Narrator.
