Why read it?

1 author picked Crew of Exiles as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I came across this book quite by accident. It tells the journey of several misfit characters in an unrecognizable future where humans can transcend their human forms and where those who desire it can spend their entire lives in the virtual world.

All of the characters in this story are searching for something, and none of them wants any help from anybody else. But they are thrown together by fate only to discover that they need each other after all.

This is by far the best indie book I’ve ever read, and I hope you’ll take a chance on it…
