I have a lot of mixed feelings about this book.

The human passengers aboard an Earth colony ship have been sleeping in a virtual world "Learning Earth's Deathly History." The dream recounts the nuclear war that destroys Earth hoping the dreamers would awake without the ethinic, religious and political tensions of their ancestors.

The story itself was intriguing; a true call for the people of Earth to step back and think about the consequences of their actions before they act.

However, as the author admits, he is not a writer and this was his first attempt at writing. There was a lot of unecessary detail, some characters lacked believability, and I felt as though the sections of the story could have been better organized. It was obvious that the author is an amatuer writer. I have, however, read that he is working on improving his writing before releasing the remaining volumes of this series. I am curious to see where the story goes next, and how he develops as a writer.
