Story Line:This is the first book in the series, and it's a pretty solid start. However, the battle with Phatax near the end is really drawn out. There's also the problem with cycling; it happens too late in the story. They're tricky in any case, and although they can be believable, when you're battling with Phatax is really too late. Won't he be on his guard next time? And he'd have to beat up Wolfstone twice in the story...
Puzzles:There are some neat ones and some mediocre ones, the balance favoring the latter. There are also some puzzles where you don't have a choice but just draw on the pages. They didn't seem to have this ironed out to start with.
Pictures:Some cool pixelated pictures. Phatax and Wolfstone are well drawn. Quizon's a little annoying but the animals, the giant boy, and the guard dog are fun.
One of the funniest pictures in the whole book is on page 102. Yes, you do look sillier than the guy with the body shaped like a nose!
Endings:The air purification and vaporization plants are cool. There's also one where a giant smacks your ship with a tennis racket.
The Genrax(Kirillian pet) who takes you as a pet is also something else.
Writing Style:The writing style is nothing to be ashamed of, but it's nothing special.
The idea of the series was pretty spectacular, but this book doesn't gambit much.
Links to other books: Tavro appears in Robot World to give you your mission. Quizon appears briefly in The Galactic Pirate.
