Reviews:Mary E. Young on Amazon wrote:

I thought this was a well written, dynamic story. The characters were well developed and interesting. I enjoy the author's attention to detail, particularly with the colonization process. I found myself wanting more details about the Kin as a whole, particularly how they were formed, and how they functioned on Earth. Overall, highly recommended. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

Diane Goudreau on Amazon wrote:

This was a very engaging space story with enough science to give the reader an understanding of what’s going on, without bogging things down with endless details. Twists and turns keep things moving and the focus on young, engaging characters is refreshing. While this is not a cliff hangar, there are situations and details left unresolved. A sequel would be most welcome!

I loved this story about a group of people that colonized Saturn’s moon Titan. Of course, in an undertaking this difficult and complex, with unpredictable humans and an unknown new world to learn about, lots of things go wrong. This is an interesting hard science fiction adventure. I devoured this book in less than two days, and can’t wait for the next book!
