Odyssey Bourne Force

What do a covert, non-existent exploration team, insidious alien invaders, and an indestructible monolithic stone door have in common? Find out in Debbie Renner’s fast paced debut novel Odyssey Bourne Force. 

Odyssey Bourne Force is a sci-fi package that opens up the universe through a doorway.  Focusing on and elite team of experienced "off worlders" and one confused 40 year old woman, the book has many similarities to a well known tv show.

The author's language is a little tough to adjust to at the beginning, but once you get past the gadgetry and historical background, you can appreciate the humor she has written into the tale.

Debbie Renner has done a terrific job characterizing Kate, the 40 year old, divorced, introvert who's apparently linked to an ancient queen, while also trying to save Earth.

The story that ensues mostly melds much of the sci-fi genre to date, but is fun nevertheless.

Unfortunately there is only so much one can write that hasn't been done before, and if there wasn't as many pronounced similarities to that well known movie/tv show (of which I'm quite a fan), it could otherwise have been a great book.

If you can get beyond seeing the images of the cast of a different story in your mind, while reading this one, you may find it a very satisfying read.

The first in a planned trilogy, Debbie Renner is just hitting her stride and presumably will create future stories with her own autonomy.

I received an electronic copy of Odyssey Bourne Force for purpose of review.

Thanks for the review. I'll see if I can find this one; sounds like a book my husband and I would both enjoy reading.
