Book Review of Abandon: Below / Exiled

Abandon: Below / Exiled
reviewed on + 1215 more book reviews


Ok, two different, unrelated stories by the same author; both with strong heroines, and stronger, macho heroes. Both storylines had promise, but there was something about the authors' style of writing that was off-putting. I found myself speed-reading & skimming through the stories just to get to the end. "Exiled" was more like a white man vs. indian tale, including the stilted language. If aliens were dumping unwanted humans on a strange planet, would they really bother giving them electronic translators? Too many inconsistencies, stilted language, 2 stars.
