My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Excellent start to this new sci-fi series!
Abandon Station is the first book in author V.G. Harrison's new Dyson Bridge sci-fi series, and while only a little over a hundred pages in length, it is a tense, dramatic story that slowly reveals an alternate vision of Earth rich with detail.
The story is told from the perspective of mechanical engineer Meridia Vail, a likable and smart yet vulnerable main character. The opening includes a spirited exchange between Vail and her divorce attorney, representing her interests back on Earth in the dissolution of her marriage to her cheating skunk of a spouse. What follows is the exciting cause of the crew's current jeopardy and subsequent efforts to return to their own time and dimension.The author's writing style is engaging and easy to read despite the complexities of the technology and the situation. I was quickly absorbed by the story of Meridia's and the crew's plight. I enjoyed comparing their actual world and society to what they encountered on their ânew' Earth. As this book ends on a cliffhanger with their fate still up in the air, I look forward to the next installment and hope it appears soon!
I recommend ABANDON STATION to science fiction readers who enjoy tense stories involving an alternate Earth.I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving an Advance Review Copy from the author through Goddess Fish Promotions Book Tours.
