The free sample motivated me to buy the book, but when the story ended I felt like I had wasted my money. The premise -- a linguist on a shuttle, prepared to work with alien languages -- was intriguing. Sadly, the alien was telepathic, so language never really played a role in the book. The tension of the opening chapters slowly dwindled into a sad little mess. It thudded from predictable plot point to predictable plot point, and midway through the book I wondered why I was still reading. It turned into a "car wreck" book, where I couldn't turn away from the disaster until the last page freed me. As others have noted, there were several factual errors, and problems with language, which is painful given the protagonist's profession. The main character's Mary Sue index climbed with every page. I do think Ms. Wells has good books in her, but she needs to work on her plots. Give us some surprises! And maybe consider a different subgenre. Convincing science fiction requires more research and more scientific expertise. Ms. Wells might be more bearable in paranormal romance, where the rules are bendy to begin with.

He could have put in more of the characters we have learned to enjoy in his past books. I especially missed more of inspector Wahl and lt. Washington.

This appears to be a good camera. Once it was fully charged it was relatively simple to set up particularly using Youtube video footage to see what to do. The little booklet is not very easy to understand but basically all I had to do was click on the language icon and change to English and the rest was pre-programmed anyway. Fixing it in the car wasn't too difficult - if a bit fiddly. The camera seems to work well and the pictures look clear.
