Probability Moon by Nancy Cress
I just read Probability Moon by Nancy Cress. The book has two main plot lines; one that is hard sci fi with an ancient artifact, some space battles, with the outcome of an intergalactic war in the balance; the other is almost more of a fantasy plot line with a little science fiction mixed in. The fantasy plot line dominates the majority of the book.
Probability Moon is well written and has some engaging characters. It wasn't my favorite book, however, and I wouldn't rate it much better than a 5 out of 10. I think it was mostly because it was only about 20% science fiction and the rest was more fantasy or just mystery. The mystery was kind of obvious as well, so all the suspense didn't add up to much. It was a little boring to me, however, if you have a leaning toward fantasy or mystery you may really like this book.
I give it a 4 out of 10.
