I was able to read an early excerpt of To Sleep In A Sea of Stars. I thought it was was an intriguing excerpt, quickly setting the stage for an epic journey to protect humanity and further discover what xenobiologist Kira has unleashed. This excerpt did a great job with introducing the world and communicating a prevalent sense of unease as Kira learns more about what she has discovered. Parts of this excerpt felt a bit cliche to me, but I would be interested to see where the story and Kira will go next. There is no denying that the scenes were action-packed and there was never a dull moment. Sentient alien life forms are always compelling, as every writer puts their own unique spin on it. I love the title for this book!
