I was led to a free sampling of Exiles after entering a kindle search for terms completely unrelated to the content or purpose of your novel. I have read only science and history for about twenty years now based upon the axiom that truth is stranger and more exciting than fiction. I grew up on Heinlein, Clarke, and Burroughs, though, for the twenty before that so I am no stranger to science fiction and it is my flavor of fiction if I were to read fiction again.
But!
I am thoroughly enjoying the first few chapters of what I'm reading! I will be purchasing the rest of this book and its successors. You are putting the universe of your novel together using subtle ingredients of environment that so many others would brush over lightly. You're putting me there. In addition, your characters are speaking to me with real voices and images, which means that you are not lost in dealing with the sentient (not just human

factors.
I am feeling that your writing is mid-way between the pace of Burroughs and the depth of Heinlein and is making best use of its position. If this is self-publishing then please, continue! I have lost much time in the last three nights reading my mobile phone's kindle app rather than getting my sleep in a timely manner...
