Well, I was surprised!!

My first Jack Campbell book, and it won't be my last! I should probably have read the Lost Fleet series first as this is the start of the prequel series. This was fast paced, exciting and kept me interested enough over Christmas and New Year whilst the family watched all of the repeated movies! This follows Rob Geary and his fellow explorers, as they set up home on a new planet and all of the problems they have with a neighbouring star system.
I'll be keeping an eye out for the rest of the series!

Absolutely stunning (0 more)

This is one of the best games all around that I have played in a long time. The story is amazing and really pulls you in. I felt like I was constantly on the edge of my seat trying to figure out the mystery of the game. The graphics were gorgeously done, and there are so many little "extras" thrown in around the world that I'm still playing it, trying to find them all. I recommend this game to all of my rpg loving friends and I would love to see a sequel or even a prequel!

Great location (0 more)

Decent Scandi Thriller

I saw this got recommended when it was shown on TV in 2016. It's a good thriller with a supernatural element to it. Similar in style to the likes of @And Then There Were None - Season 1 as a group of friends at a remote closed ski lodge slowly reduce in number. It was a bit slow to begin with but it picked up. The only real problem it still seemed to leave a few questions unanswered. If you like Scandinavian thrillers set in pretty locations you should enjoy this. A second series, a prequel, starts soon.

Gameplay

Good, but not exactly original.

A well made but dull addition to the Tomb Raider franchise.

The game itself is well made, but it has lost the charm of the original games. The game, like the first in the prequel trilogy, boasts its "free-roam" option, which doesn't really add much to the game or the story.

There's also very little in the way of tomb raiding, with tombs being fun challenges reminiscent of the original puzzles, but feeling like little more than an afterthought as something they should probably put in.

Book Rating

This book was thrilling, exhilarating and fun. I was intrigued at once by the setting and situation. The characters were relatable (in their own way) in that we’ve all met people like them; with those qualities, desires and drives. At some point I was a bit confused by the “rules” but overall the author does a great job of explaining the new realm as well as telling an interesting and adventure-filled story. I can’t wait to read the sequel and a prequel or two if they come about. The Permafrost and characters have many more tales in them.
