About book Spinward Fringe Broadcast 0: Origins (2000)

Do yourself a favor. Don't listen to any of these reviews (even mine). Instead, go up to the top of the product page on Amazon for Randolph Lalonde's "Origins (Spinward Fringe)" and read the "Click to Look Inside" snippet. If you don't see anything wrong with the very first scene on the very first pages (such as the term "meteor" to describe a rock in space, worries about sound in space, looking through the cockpit at a 100 km wide object 44,000 km away and describing it in detail, or the convenient disappearance of what must be about half a million kph in relative velocity when the fight begins), go ahead and get the book. The writing and physics stay about the same throughout the rest of the book. The characters and story are a bit simplistic, but, to tell the truth, the story is actually fairly interesting. So, if those first pages don't bother you, you should be fine with the book. For me, though, I have to rate it at a Not Very Good 2 stars out of 5. Not what I expected. In classic space opera form there is the huge overarching society. There is a man loyal to that society who comes to find out things are far different than they seem, and is required to hide his new found knowledge, until the point where he breaks away completely. The aliens in the series and their technology were fabulous. This is a long series of books available at Smashwords for free. They all start with Spinward and are numbered. I recommend them for those of you who enjoy a good space opera as I do.

Great sci fi adventure book - nothing too heavy, nothing too light. Felt a bit like a computer game.
