More about the world than the characters.
This book is actually well written and is actually a quick and easy read. The problem I had was the great lack of character development. The characters do have some good qualities, but everything is forced and usually unexplained. The romance story in the book is probably one of the worst I have read. It is kind of love at first sight, then too barely talking to one another, then suddenly married. There is very little in between these stages.
The world is full of life and well described. The struggle is real, but it seems that the hero has some of the most amazing gut instincts in the world. Again if I knew more about the character I might of understood more, but I think not. The main character walks in the a village of people that he barley knows to warn of war and ends up the emissary. Also much of the story is too instinctual for the main character. He always finds the power, skills, or words needed "all of a sudden" a few too many times.

Easily a favorite
This book has started my science fiction appreciation. And a possible addiction. Thomas Locke was already a favorite author of mine from his other works under the name Davis Bunn. Now i find i am greatly delighted with this new series of his, and eagerly await all coming books, as well as the possiblity of a future movie baised on this book as well.

easy listening, good narration, average story.
Little development or depth to main characters. The love interest is is unbelievable and unexplained. But narrator is good, making the story pass by at descent pace.
