Review

Authority figures might consider the characters in Avalon as loveable bad boys + girls. Jeth and his small band of metatech thieves are under-employed by a futuristic space crime boss who forces them to steal for him. Each of the young people is super talented, they form a bond that is forged by need and depravity. Avalon offers much to readers, this is a sci-fic with neat spaceships and a story about relationships. While a mystery looms over the entire operation a teen romance is budding.

There are however many areas where more editing is in order. Some simple sentences are twisted and in one paragraph the speaker changes causing some confusion.

There is room left for a sequel, readers will be waiting for more. Put this into collections where science fiction is appreciated by readers.

Overall Book Score: good
