Hey all!

 

I just finished the second round of editing on my first sci-fi novel and am looking for feedback before final revisions.

This is a first-contact sci-fi with strong military and political themes, approx. 89k words. I’ll provide a PDF via DropBox link.

Blurb:

When the Valefarus detects the probe’s radio signal, Captain Ravik has a choice to make—continue home, or make a detour. That decision will change Earth forever.

Militaries scramble as the first alien ship approaches. Alliances fracture. Is this an invasion—or opportunity? President Logan Meyers must walk a political tightrope to maintain American preeminence while protecting the world from the unknown.

The more humanity learns, the more one truth becomes clear: they never understood anything at all.

When the second ship arrives—everything changes.

Humanity wasn’t ready.

IF YOU’RE INTERESTED:

Comment or DM me and I’ll send the DropBox link. Even reading just a few chapters and providing feedback would be very helpful. Thanks in advance—I really appreciate it!

Hey all!

 

I just finished the second round of editing on my first sci-fi novel and am looking for beta readers to give honest feedback before final revisions.

What I’m looking for:

Examples of high-level feedback (more information will be provided):

·         Was the story engaging?

·         How was the hook?

·         Are the characters interesting and distinct?

·         Does the technology and world-building make sense

·         Would you keep reading and/or want a sequel?

I am not looking for line edits or grammar correction at this stage.

NOTE: As mentioned above the story has undergone two rounds of editing. Character voices and arcs are consistent. It should read cleanly with minimal spelling/grammar issues. Focus is on story structure, pacing, and engagement.
