Far From Home Book One eBook Tony Healey
Let me start by saying I do not in any way enjoy writing bad reviews and at the very least prefer to always give the benefit of the doubt to the author. However this work honestly needs to be redone. The author most certainly doesn't have a clue about how a military org. functions as noted by other readers. The captain does not flee the bridge during a battle. The captain of a ship is a highly intelligent emotionally disciplined person commissioned to command a ship of war. The 'officers' supposedly commanding this ship act more like a gaggle of hormonal teenagers on their way to a believer concert than people that are supposedly hardened by generations of total war. Nor does the society and atmosphere of the ship reflect this. The dialogue between the good guy and his 'nemesis' is laughable. And of course mortal wounds that don't kill abound and the bad guy always gets away so a bad story just won't die. Don't even get me started on the cornbread and baked beans Texas space cowboy. Jesus have you ever even met some Texans? Even a southerner or a rancher? Maybe the author should just go write comic books or something. I couldn't read more than a few of the "books" (yeah right, like a 100 pages) just too bad. You like space operas? Try the lost fleet series, old man's war, the empire's corps, warriors wings, Exodus: Empires at war, the slavery wars, Koban, star crusades, crimson, worlds, a call to arms is really good. Just don't read this junk.Product details

Far From Home Book One eBook Tony Healey Reviews
Independent authors need editors. Real editors who aren't their friends.
The general idea for the story has merit but it is poorly written, the language simple, the sentences primitive, character development minimal, stereotypes abound, and the military aspect completely unbelievable. I just couldn't keep reading. I tried. I really did. But I had to stop somewhere in Part 3 because I was getting too annoyed. Captains never desert the bridge in the middle of a battle and they most certainly don't whine about ANYTHING to anyone, let alone to the soldiers they are intended to lead. All the teenage like angst and hand wringing is inappropriate and poorly timed to the action…I had to read about how the self-doubting, wishy washy Captain tried to quit the academy twice instead of confidently figuring out how she and her crew were going to survive trillions of light years from home with a vicious enemy on their tail in a ship that is badly battle damaged and has just been squeezed through a "singularity"! Instead she takes showers, eats, drinks and quibbles until oh my! the enemy predictably appears! Ridiculous. I could go on and on but there is no point. I just wish it could have been different because I was really looking forward to a good story. Unfortunately, this one rapidly unravels going from, this could be interesting to this is just irritating to get me out of here.
This is no Honor Harrington series. Not by a long, long shot through a black hole.
Gratuitous use of the word "smirk" above and beyond the call of rationality, to the point where i winced every time the word was used. Seriously, i'm talking way into the double digits. People rarely if ever smile, grin, or display emotions other than to smirk. Writer needs to look up the definition of "smirk" A little proof reading would have gone a long way. I'd rather hang out with smurfs than people who smirk all the time. This could have been a fair piece of space opera, but even without the smirks the interaction of a space navy crew as a large informal family just doesn't ring true. Plot - fair, space opera SHOULD be melodramatic. Tech - somewhat interesting, though this is definitely not "hard" science fiction. SPOILER ALERT - the time travel resolution is kind of a cop out, but so many people had died I can understand the use of the ploy. BOTTOM LINE - i read every bit of it to engrave it on my memory so i'd never accidentally buy this author again. Smirk. Smirky smirkity smirk smirk, he said, smirking smirkily.
The story line has great potential; however, Tony Healy failed to deliver. The writing comes across as if little or no actual research was done on how military organizations function. Ship captains do not leave the bridge in tears during the middle of a battle. The constant lack of discipline at all levels of the organization would never happen. The constant questioning of orders in a critical situation would lead to disaster. The offhand communication between advisaries during heated battles would not happen.
There were too many spelling errors along with terminology that American English speaking individuals would not use. The book felt as though it was written in another language, and then it was translatted by someone that did not speak English as their first language.
The use of flash backs was grossly overdone. It came across to me as an attempt to pad the pages. There are better ways to maintain the pace in the novel.
With that said, I did actually like the story line. It has possibilities. There could be another book to build on this start.
I can give Mr. Healey two stars for effort, but as many other people observed, his grasp of English grammar and syntax are breathtakingly short, of military discipline non-existent, and he has no concept of physics, gravity, orbital mechanics or nuclear interactions. "Whilst" reading the first 150 pages (which is as far as i could manage) of a Chief calling the XO "honey" and having Lt.'s for deckhands, I gave up. The characters act more like teenagers on a weekend lark than a disciplined military crew. Drinking every night, too hungover for duty, enlisted having sex with officers, it's beyond my capability to suspend disbelief.
The story structure is execrable, with duplicate flashback that make no sense and offer no furthering of the plot. This is an author in search of an editor.
I can't argue with the price -- it was free. And I got what I paid for.
Let me start by saying I do not in any way enjoy writing bad reviews and at the very least prefer to always give the benefit of the doubt to the author. However this work honestly needs to be redone.
