I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
Micromium gives us a glimpse into Earth’s highly probably future: heading full force into destruction from human pollution. The initial hope given with the identification of micromium on Mars was a great way to start driving the plot. With many things in life, if it seems to good to be true, it just might be.
The story was great. So many elements were tied into one plot line. Murder, mystery, aliens, space travel, romance, intergalactic fraud… You name it and it was in this book. It seems like a lot to juggle but I think Gittlin made it work and had time to develop his characters.
What I didn’t like was how major details were dropped on the reader like, “Oh, by the way there are crashed alien spaceships in the crater.” I feel like things like this should have had a better presentation.
I’m not really a sci-fi chick so it really helped me to have illustrations. I never would’ve come up with an image for some of this stuff without the help.
I really enjoyed the book and I look forward to reading more by the author.
4 stars.
