ANALYSIS
The prologue was mildly interesting. Something about an ancient evil having been awakened by human scientists, that forced them to escape their planet. This evil is so powerful that it threatens all existence.

But as soon as the story started, the prose was too dense, it was just too boring to read. Reading other people reviews, the sci-fi notions do sound awesome. This might be a candidate for speed reading, not a novel to enjoy for its literary values (like engrossing dialog, empathetic characters, etc).
