The Arrival (Annihilation Book 1)

One of the better sci-fi stories I’ve read lately. Looking forward to the next book in the series. Give it try you won’t be disappointed.

The Aliens arrive right away. That is my only spoiler. This is a story more about people and the human condition towards each other. A well written book. I am not that big of a fan of this type of genre but looking for something different to read I stumbled on this story and decided to read it. I enjoyed the story and finished the book unlike the last two I gave a chance on. This one held my interest till the end and I enjoyed following the characters. I will be giving the other books in the series a chance also. As you can tell I am not a professional reviewer. I was not asked by the author to write a review. I am just a plain old Kindle reader. The reason for the 4 star rating was only for the jumps in the story to future parts in the story that would give me pause to go back to see what I missed only to find out I didn't miss anything but I was placed a few weeks or months into the story without being directed there till later in the chapter. All in all a great read. Go for it. I think you will enjoy this story.

So glad I found this series. Tht Arrival is really excellent science fiction. Really looking forward to the other books in this series. I was reading two other book series, but I gave them up after starting this book. Excellent writing and a great story.

It's not the best science fiction I've ever read. It's a nice quick read. It certainly bus a possible future. I do wish he'd not make so many brings 5, as 5 meters, 5 square meters. It's a little annoying.

Typical guys books, but as woman that loves this type of book, it was pretty good. Nikos was very lucky and traveled through I guess some type of wormhole to another side of the planet via the "Tear" ship. Seeing an actual alien must have blown their minds. Next remains to be seen!

Unlike any other military sci-fi I've read! Alien action comes quickly but it's not just another ho-hum "take over the world and enslave the humans" kind of story. Once I started this book, I couldn't put it down. I've already bought the 2nd book to start it now.

great story. text a little rough. descriptions in action scenes a little confused. but basic story line excellent. some deep insights along the way.

I loved the book, some parts were stressful to work through, fortunately my antidepressants kept me going. Jacek is an unlikely hero but definitely a person with extraordinary courage and leadership abilities, to the extent that the KSK special forces respected his plans.As I have said, what a story. The main characters are all beyond tough and committed to their mission and comrades, even the civilian proved his gumption by carrying Jacek out of an incredible difficult and life threatening situation, despite his right arms' bicep tendon being torn, rendering the arm useless. I cannot wait for the rest of the story to unfold.

Buena lectura con algo de confucion en las escenas sobre todo de ataque, pero fuera de eso esta bien, nadamas que si da hueva leer el que sigue, como que ese misterio de lo que pasaria con los personajes pues ya se resolvio en este libro.

Well written, a good read, has a lot of potential for more books. Another angle on how it might go.

Fast moving and interesting. Looking forward to the sequels. Well drawn and interesting characters. Read this in 24hours. Well worth a read.

It’s quite difficult for me to put into words just how badly written this book is.Apologies Calvert.All I can say is that I read it all hoping it would get better and it didn’t. It struggled to…become…anything!Instead it was a hodge podge of running, fighting and struggle with minimal storylines that went nowhere.Glad it was cheap.

It seems like we've been there before. Aliens on Earth, but some new twists. In the end we are left wondering.
