Love the story, but….I really like the plot line and the way the story is going. Th writing is a little basic and very straight forward which is not something I love, but I want to see where this all goes
I won this book in a goodreads drawing.A scientist discovers a spaceship, and is chosen to take command. He's got to prepare the Earth for the coming of the aliens. He and his family have to figure out how to do this without being taken over by governments or corporations.Not bad, although the genius twelve year old girl gets to be a little much.

I will, nonetheless, check out the next book in the series.
DNF at 60%. This is a highly-rated book and series, so obviously, I’m not seeing what others are. You say tomato; I say tomato. (huh?) I do think that Starship Sakira belongs in the “Young adult” category more than “Science fiction” because of the level of writing and content.The unique thing about this book is the writing style. It’s almost all dialogue. There’s very little description of people, places, etc to go along with that dialogue. I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad idea. But the
