Will the full manuscript go on my Kindle? If so, yes please - I hate reading on my iPad smile

Thank you. It went ok, fingers crossed thumbup
Yes, it will. This is how:

To get the document onto your Kindle device, all you have to do is email it to your Send-To-Kindle email address, which can be found in the Personal Document Settings section of the Manage Your Kindle page on Amazon.

If you send me a private message, I'll email you back the document. (A quick note: I didn't like reading on the Kindle App on my iPhone until I discovered I could invert the text to white on black and independently turn the brightness down. It's really nice to read from now.)

My fingers are crossed!

I'm glad (relieved even!) that you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to read it. How was it in terms of writing style and characterisation? Did it read well, and did the characters feel believable? Those are two issues I had with Noah's Ark that I've tried hard to improve for Vessel.

Thanks again.
I sort of lost track of the characters a bit, their names, when they were doing the running around tracking people on earth, between USA and Russia, but I do that with most books or series I watch/read.

There are a couple of spelling mistakes, meant to jot them down, but I forgot.

Going to start Noahs Ark soon. biggrin

It's a pretty cool system. You can put all sorts on there!

I think I know what you mean - I do the same!

I'll be interested to see how you think Noah's Ark compares.

I hope that didn't spoil the ending for you!

I'm glad you enjoyed it otherwise. Thank you for reading it smile

What was it that gave it away? Was it the sentence: 'she longed to be with Mikhail forever, to go to a place beyond the earth that left her barren and empty'

If that was it, do you think it would better if I changed the sentence slightly?

Questions, questions smile

No

it was when they started kissing, I'd worked out he was from the Ship when he was found. Although to be honest, her 'I can't get pregnant' statement gave a huge clue!! I knew Bales was 'hooky' when he wouldn't send the rescue team for Sally

Ah, I see . . . Do you think it would be better if I took the huge clue out?

Thanks for your help smile

yes

Not relevant, she'd been asked & given her answer, stressing the point (to me) was obvious.

Didn't detract from the book tho wink

I'll tweak that then I think. I want to get the balance right, giving the reader enough clues to help them piece the puzzle together without them figuring it all out too soon!

Oh, well in that case leave it

I'm one of those that prefers clues to be subtle, think Ngaio Marsh rather than Dan Brown wink
