Search - Coyote (Coyote, Bk 1)

Despite some glaring errors, most notably with the author's time calculations, the book is quite enjoyable to read. He paints vivid characters and settings and offers a unique look at the possible future of space colonization.

The author could never seem to quite decide what he wanted this novel to be – a treatment on politics? a novel of interstellar travel? a novel of first contact? or Huckleberry Finn? There are several excellent premises in this book, but they get marred by constantly changing points of very and a patchwork format. I also found some of the author use of tense to be disconcerting. I really wanted to like this novel more than I did, but the clunky writing got in the way of the authors amazing imagination.

I love the idea of hijacking a spaceship! Great book, great characters, and an insightful story line make this an interesting read. Highly recommended!

I really enjoyed this book.

Well, I enjoyed this book. The part I liked best was after the landing on Coyote and the challenges the colonists encountered there. If there had been more of this, in sequels, I would definitely read them.

However, I was somewhat surprised to discover that it is part of a trilogy and that trilogy has somewhat mixed reviews for the next two books. I looked at the reviews here and on Amazon and made the decision not to obtain the sequels. The last chapter of this book, in the text that dealt with the newly arriving colonists, only encouraged my decision to stop here.

For me, while it is obvious that this book has an indefinite ending, I can live with that. Every day that we live has an indefinite ending. So, if, like myself, you decide to stop after the first book in this series, I don't think you will regret it.

excellent read one of y all time favorites
