Description

Terrans are a myth, a legend. A lost race. Xeno societies function and ignore this disappearance as unremarkable along with the independent AIs who are 'technically' all that remains of Terrans. So what happens when a strange ship of a bygone era is found, its sole Terran inhabitant awaked from hibernation in a universe without Terrans?

    I'm not going to go too deep on this review, but i saw no other reviews yet, and this story deserves notice.  I just found this this story this evening, and it hit all the high points for a short sci-fi novel.  Decent characters, decent plot, deep conspiracy, running from a vast web of pursuers seeking answers, and as a cliff-hanger ending, dropping our heroes off after success, or on the edge of another story to come.  Everything held together, didn't leave me any obvious gaps in plotting. Its not complicated, but it doesn't have to be to convey feelings and emotions intended.   Could it have delved deeper - sure, you can always add water through details and side-quests.  What is more difficult is tightening the story down and still having a complete and time-worthy novel, and I think that happened here.

    Overall this is one of the best stories I have read in a while.
    The style of writing, the perception switches, and the multiple deeper lore hints have hit with me hard. There were also many real world references as well as even an actual decipherable code that was later translated further in the story! This writer obviously thoroughly plans out the story in an amazing way.
    Speaking of lore the story is deep into it, from conspiracies to how different species act in society to the cool technology it all meshes well. I especially liked the reason that the levers were blue was because of a rapid increase in color blindness! It reminded me of the 'blue stop sign' joke but was a perfectly reasonable and believeable thing in this universe.
    Grammar was great throughout, where were some small hiccups but honestly everything was comprehensive and nothing was off putting.
    Finally these characters, between a sassy TACIT who slowly grows to like organic life, a human who embodies "Goof till you need to be serious", and a bird who's almost a nice middle ground between Mundo and rix with their own species based twists, they are all great.

    is an interesting tale with devept plot and brain food with a fun conspiracy giving
    good tight plot line not allot of side quest's cauing bloat where not needed
    but it does leave a big hole for follow up story's for our brave adventure's
    that i hope will get solved in the future at some point

    Just the right amount of silly techno bullshit with the right amount of feels.  A couple of tiny shifting of persoective errors with who is talking. But all in all lovely.
    A story to be enjoyed for sure, I hope to you continue to write more things in the future.
