An amazing story, better than the first. I could picture the scene in my mind as I read this book, like a movie.
Loved it! Loved it! Loved it!Haven is the 2nd book in the Orbit series from the author J S Collyer.Haven follows on from Zero, so if you haven't read Zero, why not?? You need to read the first book to understand who's who and why there are going to be tears before bedtime. Revenge is in the air.All the action, and there is plenty of action, takes place on Haven, a habitat out of the control of the Service. Not exactly lawless, but it's the place to be if don't want Big Brother in charge of your
The second installment in the trilogy, it started well with plenty of surprises along the way. However, I was increasingly frustrated by the stubborn, stupidity of Hugo. I realise that's his character flaw and obviously his sister's too, but I also would have thought he would have learnt to trust Webb by now. Particularly when things started to get very hairy and when on a mission so important. At one point I felt like Hugo cared more for Webb than Marilyn and what had happened to her. Something...
Collyer comes back to the wonderful characters she introduced in Zero with every bit of adrenaline-soaked adventure she got me hooked on last time. While it’s not often that a sequel impresses me more than the first book, this one definitely did. Where Zero suffered a briefly laborious start, Haven jumped straight into the drama.This means that those unfamiliar with Collyer’s work should definitely not read these out of order—no explanation is made as to who these people are. But trust me—once y...
This book is excellent, it's a continuation of where things left off with the two main protagonists from the first book. But you don't really need to know that information when reading this one. As others have said, where the first has a lot of little missions with one encompassing story line this one has more to do with the Haven itself and draws focus there. It doesn't bring down the action, character building, or world building that is going on here also.I believe there will be a third book,
[Disclosure: I received an advanced copy of this book from the author. J.S. Collyer is both a friend and colleague, and our work has appeared together in the anthology, No Way Home.]When I read J.S. Collyer's debut, Zero, last year, I was rather impressed with that fun little space romp. There was a great sense of depth to the narrative, despite keeping things fairly local for a space opera, operating in the orbit of Earth and its moon colonies. The greatest strength, though, were the characters...
I received an advance review copy in return for an honest review (and also because I'm special :p) lol. J.S.Collyer has again managed to create an immersive and epic World. Haven succesfully expands on the wonders that began in Zero and adapts to become something of a marvel. As always I am in awe of the very level of language use. J.S includes such detail in the settings and terminology. Don't fear though, she has acheived such a level that it doesn't exclude anyone (for example, the sci fi ill...
(I received this as an ARC) I'm beginning to wonder if J.S wants her character's to suffer! Bad enough that one has had to deal with identity issues, the other now is on a mission to find the person that has hurt his partner. Hugo and Webb are together again and the relationship is as caustic as ever, but it's balanced with the right amount of humor and dry wit to stop it from being Eastenders in Space! Mostly focussing on the colony of Haven, the author has chosen to concentrate on one particul...
I was fortunate enough to receive an ARC copy of Haven, and it did not disappoint. The book is a real page turner, really keeps you up reading past bedtime. Plenty of action in this character-driven plot, and I think I even liked it better than Zero, the first book (though both are good, and I do recommend you read them in order). A great sci-fi book.
I loved the first book of the series, which didn't shy away from putting its characters through drastic changes. This book deals with those changes and further develops the characters, ingratiating them in your heart. I love these characters as much as I love Han and Luke or Deckard from Blade Runner. Collyer has a winner in Hugo -- the company man who has become disenchanted with his government, and the things they have done to keep their power -- and Webb, the pirate/scoundrel who (without any...
An overall awesome story, and worthy addition to Ms Collyer's Sci-Fi trilogy.Haven, the wildest west of the Lunar colonies, was mentioned many times within 'Zero', which makes the series' next entry being focused there a nice piece of world continuity. Compared to the first novel, where the story moved from Earth and amongst the Lunar colonies, that this entry is focused on Haven gives the story a more personal feel.The focus on characters is front and centre, without the overarching 'save the w...
