**LibraryThing Early Reviewers Win**

A by-the-numbers Sci-Fi book that gets it right in the right places. Most readers will definitely enjoy this book because it doesn't get so far beyond the story that you have to scratch your head with it. There are your Haves and your Have-Nots on this ship which has been out as the last bastion of Humanity for 5'000 years.

Of course, there are those who want and those who want to keep the status quo. I liked the way Leema and the Rebels were written and even if the writing could be adjusted here or there, there is no distraction from the story itself.

I enjoyed this enough that I'd like to read it again. This is now available on KU.

I received an e-book version of this book through a giveaway on LibraryThing in return for an honest review.

The disparity between the haves and have nots which exists on the massive spaceship Eden didn’t happen overnight, it occurred over the five millenniums it has been wandering space. It occurred because of the lack of a central entity/individual to oversee the entire operation of for the last hope for the survival of the human race.

Society has devolved from its democratic state to a state where Arc and the Human Council ruled and all dissidents got banished to a life of destitution from a realm where luxury endures.

It’s only when the book’s main character, the Harbinger, is found deep in the bowels of the Under where the dissidents are forced to eke out their existence. Harbinger has no recollection of who he is or any knowledge for/of his reason for being. But with the aid of the rebel Leema and others, the destiny of all those aboard the Eden can be returned to its original intention by destroying the current status quo.

While the writing could use some tweaking, the writing itself makes for a enjoyable page turning read with the vivid mental pictures it creates, as well as for the development of the book’s characters. The book is one that is multi-genre which is appealing to a broader range of potential readers; sci-fi, romance, adventure and societal life, than a single genre of sci-fi.

With all things considered I’m happy to give this book 4 STARS. ( )

I really enjoyed this book. I started reading it and immediately was swept in. Is living forever better than really living? Is exiling the criminals for eternity okay even if it was just one minor crime? these are some points that really caught my interest in this book.

If you like sci-fi you will love this book. And should grab a copy :)

And then there is the love story, two people instantly hating each other then turning it around with a love that is true and pure. Just how they react with each other makes it seem even better. Its written amazingly. Reading how they are with each other you could imagine being that way with someone. So its more real in that aspect than a lot of stories.. ( )
