Mark Wood's Review
Dremiks is the name of an alien planet on the edges of the known universe and it is in trouble. Its inhabitants need us to mine a very important element that will help halt the planets destruction and in return, they will help us establish a colony there. And so, a new spaceship, fitted with Dremiks technology, heads out to the distant stars.
Dremiks is your classic, average space-opera with much of the action set in deep space as the crew and colonists deal with unplanned pregnancy, failing ships systems and a possible saboteur in their midst.
My problems with this was that I didn't feel like the characters were properly denounced meaning I often struggled to recall who was who and the whole thing just felt a bit like so much other sci-fi I had read before but done much better!
Overall, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It took a while to really get going and there was a lot of technical description which reminded me of everything I hated about Star Trek!
I wouldn't say it was awful, just okay but I didn't really enjoy it or get much out of it I am afraid!
