The reader was excellent. He brought life to the characters. I enjoyed the book because of him. This is an enjoyable book. The plot was a bit to predictable. I especially didn’t like the minimum efforts on the medical aspects of the story. Especially on the alien starcraft. Who’s gonna be dumb enough to leave a closed system w obvious unknown alien bodies and organic debris floating around? Then after doing so no effort is taken to ensure no infection ect are present to endanger them and the humans they want to save.
