Praise for Earth's First Series
? ? ? ? ? Flipping good read. Bought it not knowing anything about the author and by golly I'm glad I did. What an amazing story.
? ? ? ? ? Exceeded all my expectations... nifty characters and lots of action.
? ? ? ? ? The characters are well presented and sympathetic, the ""good guys"" are likable and the villains such as you love to hate.
? ? ? ? ? The world she has constructed is full-bodied and nuanced and the science is absolutely fascinating.
? ? ? ? ? Her people and characters very much human, yet superhuman enough to make us go ""wowsers!""
? ? ? ? ? I enjoyed the aliens aspect.
? ? ? ? ? I was captivated. If you like sci-fi you will love these books.
