Surprised this hasn't had more reviews...

So, finally got around to it: definitely a good read! The grammar and spelling errors cropped up sometimes and they jar a bit, but I know for a fact that my own stories will have plenty of mispellings that I missed during micro-editing, and there was nothing that detracted from the quality in any irreversible way.

Very well paced and some of the description (particularly of locations, I found) was quite imaginative. Characters didn't really jump up and grab me at first, but I'd say that's because of the depth of the setting and the sheer amount going on- they quickly got more appealing!

And to reiterate what a few others have said, I should hope you've got lots and lots of stories planned in this setting- it feels like the universe has immense scope and that you've only been able to touch on a tiny handful of your ideas so far! I know you've got plenty that I've yet to finish reading, but I could imagine twenty-odd novels coming out of this... a lot of effort has clearly been poured into the setting's inception.

Anyway, by no means perfect but still a very solid and enjoyable opener to what I'm hoping will be a long-running series!

I have responded to your reveiw upon my piece Deaths of Innocents, you may wish to read it.

That is FRICKIN GOOD, I really like the setting, the writing, the plot, and I can appreciate all the effort you've put in. I want more! It's very good, but who are the Reaper's fightting? Any resistance but the Rebels? Any rival Empires? Any massive space battles? That would be without a doubt awesome.

I liked this one better but I still didn't like it as much as i hoped too! I give it a 6.9 out of 10.

Peace out!

Very gritty and compelling. I like the idea of the Reapers.

Over all an interesting story. Nice use of vivid descriptions of each of the characters. Things to pay attnetion are: tense, grammer and redundency. Keep up the the good work :-)
