It is not often that I pick up a book and can't put it down or think about it constantly when I am away from it, but this one qualifies. Every time you think you know what is going on or what is going to happen, the plot thickens. It's fantastic. It is written with vivid details and I could easily see the characters and places in the book. I look forward to future works by this author. - Angela Jones

Absolutely Incredible! Science Fiction with a Bollywood twist!  Review by The Tribune

A very entertaining story. I was absolutely stunned by the fact that one of the lead characters turned out to be the enemy. The book starts off with an introduction of the characters that will board a spacecraft named The Omega. Most characters are native Indians, one from Chandigarh. Their mission is explained to the reader but soon after the launch something happens, an incredible happening in space that is very imaginative and adventurous. The story is easy to read and very detailed which makes it possible to picture everything very well. The adventures are most creative and so funny, I had trouble putting the book down! This is now my all time favourite book! If you are a Star Wars, Star Trek, Stargate or Farscape fan, than this is the book for you and you will enjoy it to the end.

A very pleasing read. Having never read sci fi, this novel was somewhat a revelation to me. The language and story are not complex, it is wonderfully paced and gripping. I loved the details and the plot. My favourite character was McCray, he´s such a funny guy. I am definitely interested in seeking out more sci fi, particularly by this author.

If you are a science fiction fan, this book is definitely for you. This was a book I received just before the weekend and had trouble putting down to go to work Monday morning. The writing was fast paced and kept me hooked. No doubt this will end up as a TV film in the near future. Elaina Kuijpers is now one of my favourite authors with her good solid storytelling, with lots of chills and thrills. Overall, a great book with great twists and turns that stopped me putting the book down until it was done.
I can recommend this book most strongly, whether you´re a sci-fi fan or not!

A fantastic read! Highly Recommended! Review by Isha S.

I really enjoyed this book and I was really drawn to the relationship that developed between Colonel Sanjiv Khan and Priya Shirvastava. The very emotionally intense setting gripped me like nothing else had ever done before, you could read it over and over again, it´s brilliant! It is written in a simple but engaging and fast-moving way. It is clear why this book is such a success. There is adventure, love, danger and awesome battle scenes. This book is thrilling - energetic and gripping. And I found myself laughing in places too. It is one for in everyone´s book collection, a must have! Would love to see this in the cinema!

Absolut empfehlens wert! von Leseratte *Lisa* 28.12.2009

Ich lese viel, und ich kann ein gutes buch von einem schlechten sehr wohl unterscheiden. Nun habe ich dieses buch gelesen. Das ein wirkliches meisterstück ist. Es hat eine wunderbare geschichte. Absolut empfehlens wert! Und da meine kollegen dieses buch nun auch verkonsomiert haben, diskutieren wir viel, warum es so fesselnd ist. Sicher, es gibt bücher mit mehr tiefgang aber keins das ich mehr geliebt hätte als dieses. Unbedingt lesen!

I would rate it 6 STARS if I could!! by Anna M.

 

I enjoyed this book thoroughly. It's a Sci-Fi novel thick in humor, excitement, and romance.

The book has a lot to take in, different settings, and many different characters. But, the story works very well. Each character has a distinct personality and a voice that you can almost hear. The description is fantastic, makes you feel as if you're there watching everything happen.

I recommend Spacegate to anyone who wants to read something unique and breathtaking. Once you start it, you won't be able to put it down! I am anxiously waiting for the sequel!

 

„SpaceGate öffnet neue Grenzen für Science fiction leser!” von einer Kundin oder einem Kunden

 **Top-10 Rezensent** (09.12.2009)

Der Autor hat ein vollständig neues Genre in der Literatur mit diesem herrlichen und aufregend Abenteuer geschrieben nämlich Bollywood Science fiction ohne das singen und tanzen aber mit viel Romanze. Zum angenehmen Überraschung funktioniert diese ungewöhnliche Kombination sehr gut. Es gibt die offensichtlichen Hinweise auf Stargate, Star Trek und Farscape. Die Geschichte ist einfach zu lesen und unterhält ausgezeichnet bis zum Ende. Dieses hat alle Voraussetzungen eines Kultromans und ich schaue mit eifriger Erwartung vorwärts zur das folgende SpaceGate Buch!

SpaceGate opens new frontiers for Sci- Fi readers! by IS Times 04/12/2009;

 

Whether by accident or design the author has created a whole new genre in literature with this delightful and exciting space adventure namely Bollywood Sci-Fi without the singing and dancing but plenty of romance.

 

To this reader´s pleasant surprise this unusual combination works well like hot chilli chocolate ice cream.

 

There are the obvious references to Stargate, Star Trek and Farscape, however this eagle eyed reader detected more obscure references to Blackadder and even "An Inconvenient Truth".

 

The Indian Bollywood element adds an extra dimension to the story making the primary characters more interesting and rounded. The story is fast paced, easy to read, amusing with an excellent twist to the ending.

 

This has all the makings of a cult novel and I look forward with eager anticipation to the next instalment of SpaceGate!

 

SpaceGate is highly recommended!, 26 Nov 2009

By  Lunar "Sci-Fi Club" (UK)

Spacegate is a thrilling and funny adventure story which can be compared with Stargate Atlantis only with much more romance. It is fantastic to have the Dr. McKay character from Stargate in this story. Also it is written in the style of Farscape and Torchwood. A combination of all sorts of Sci-Fi really but with a new twist: a spice of Indian romance (spicy indeed!) SpaceGate is highly recommended by many readers in our book club and we are looking forward to the SpaceGate movie that will go in production soon!

 

Spacegate is great! von Sci-Fi fan , 25.11.2009

I also read Spacegate and loved it. I have heard there will be a Spacegate movie coming soon, I can't wait!

 

Super Buch in einfache Englische sprache! Hat mir sehr gefallen! von anon. , 24.08.2009

Great adventure! Romantic story about an Indian man who fights to take over the control of a spaceship from an evil commander. Due to all the trouble and adventures they get lost in space, he hardly finds time to declare his love for a space ship engineer, a beautiful woman also from India. Until it happens that she is taken away mysteriously and he is left behind thinking she died while in fact she is captured by Space Pirates. Great adventure and humour!
