Kirkus Review

"The story is a definitive space opera: beaucoup action with creatures and preternatural capabilities coupled with a bevy of romantic entanglements back on the good guys' ship. Arriaga wisely concentrates on a select few of the many characters, and Soahc, Destroyer of Worlds, is a standout...Delightful genre piece with all the right ingredients: monsters, warfare, and romance."

"Author Emmanuel M. Arriaga is a creative new voice in the genre of science fiction, and one that any fan of science fiction should certainly pick up as soon as possible. Foundra: The Rift War was a book that grabbed me from page one, and I simply could not put it down! Full of adventure and a real page turner, readers will find themselves obsessed with finding out what will happen next. I am so happy that this book is the first in a series, and I certainly hope that author Emmanuel M. Arriaga is hard at work on the second installment as we speak." (5/5 Stars)

"Emmanuel M. Arriaga has done an absolutely fabulous job in world building as well as creating characters that are interesting, exciting and that his readers will absolutely love. Foundra: The Rift War is full of action, thrills and adventure, and is an absolute thrill ride of a book. In fact, the best piece of advice I have for any reader, besides being sure to pick up this book, is to make time to read this book for a good long while. You simply will not want to put it down!"

"The world building is vast and remarkable. Adventure and romance intertwine in the plot, making the characters come alive with emotions. The relationship drama reminds me of Battlestar Galactica. When Ecnics offers an awkward 29-year-old engineer Neven Kenk an opportunity to enhance his skills under Lanrete's command, not only must he face dangerous missions but he also has to find a way to fit in with Lanrete's elite soldiers." (4/5 Stars)
