Social nirvana begins to show author White’s colors

The author needs to keep away from seeding the story with his extremist views. Reference “obsessive entrepreneurialism”. Writing and selling books is engaging in entrepreneurialism endeavors. One should not bite the hand that feeds him!

pretty good story

Interesting and thought provoking although it does seem a bit like Greg can do, no wrong. kind of doesn't seem real because of that.

Waiting for the third book

This is the second book in what I believe is a trilogy. I have to admit I was disappointed. The first book, Ship’s Log had more action and kept me curious. Conception was eight hours of dialog. I feel like this book could have been a third the length that it was. I kept wanting them to just do something and quit discussing things. Corbett did a great job with the characters’ voices. I always knew who was speaking and they all had their own sound but White doesn’t give his characters enough of their own identity. They are all so similar. I also would have liked a better glimpse of the alien world where this story takes place. There are some descriptions but I think White could have described the world more and had the characters discuss less. All that said I am looking forward to the third book because I still think it’s a good story.

great

Really liked both books!!! The main character is very good, makes good decisions doesn't act stupid and is analytical and caring. With strong characters around him. With a hint of romance that is not overbearing and a strong story line.

Loved it

Interesting story. Original content. Good character development. Love it. The science seems sound and action scenes are exciting
