Best value! A free science fiction adventure with depth. Excellent writing with great characters that are intertwined beautifully. You will enjoy this book and hope the author will write a sequel.

Great read, held my interest to the end. Not a great fan of that type of ending but was still well worth the read.

I'm not a big sci fi reader but this sounded interesting. Glad I took the chance, the book was excellent and really held my interest. Loved the Malcolm character and never expected the end to play out like it did. I look forward to more from this author!

Outstanding! Only at the beginning of the story and already wishing for more books by Justin Kemppainen! Very hard to put down and hoping there are more stories coming.

this book was great. It had a great plot and it kept you interested in the characters, especially Malcolm. I hope there will be a sequel.

I downloaded Haven because it was free, and I was low on money for Kindle books. Having read it, I wish I could have bought it. It's well worth standard retail for a book. The story moves at a perfect pace, the characters are believable and wonderful, and the plot...man, it's good. I'm craving more! The world Justin Kemppainen has created begs for more stories set there, even if they aren't directly related to this one. I would love pre- and post- Haven books.

LOVED it. Excellent style, beautifully written, immersive, loveable characters and just a damn good story.
It seems like it's been done before ... elite versus peasants. But the way Justin created the world these characters live in is amazing.
You'll enjoy it even if you're NOT a sci-fi-lover.

I don't read much Sci-Fi anymore, but the description of this book intrigued me. I enjoyed the story very much, even though a few of the plot elements were predictable. I particularly liked the ending, which is the part of the book that generally wrecks a good story.

I just finished the book and I rate it a 4 out of 5, strongly recommended.

The story is intriguing and the plot well laid out. There is a good pace in it, with not so obvious twists and turns, which kept my attention level high throughout the book. There are a lot of characters and it takes a while to get to know them. Some may like this, some don't.

This book could easily be converted into a film without the need to write a script: the book is the script.

A minor negative point is that I found the end to be too open. There are still too many questions unanswered = a hint for writing a sequel or two. First one a direct follow-up of the story and a second one about the aliens, their history (were did they come from) and their future - even if it were a 1000 years later.

Thanks and hope to read you later.
