Currently still reading the book.
Alex is a man of dedication and duty. Still, he could turn into a monstrous killer at the blink of an eye if Nikki was in danger. A mixture of nerd, artist and a "bad boy". I'm in love with this character.

A very thought-provoking, inspiring and easy-to-follow narrative. I love the discussions between Alex and Ricky, for their sophistication and in-depth sincerity is unmatched by any modern sci-fi book I ever read. I prefer it against any presidential debate on TV, or any "politically correct" publication.
Yuri & Yaoi break taboos, and their characters are no cowards.
I'd say Alex is a tragic character, for his obsession with Nikki's talents cost him his sanity, a third of his life...but heck, he's never been a typical intellectual. That's a man who could strangle a Mossad operative with his bare hands, hit a moving target from a hundred meters, and outsmart the devil himself if Nikki's at stake. But the poor fella just can't fit into civilian life, although he's got 0 months of military experience to show for.

I really liked the naysha aliens, and Ricky most of all. He was expected to become an antagonist. His mom is swindling Alex out of years of his life. But here's what struck me : he took Alex's side and tried to make him refuse the contract. The alien went against his own mother - a fearsome general responsible for the death of billions.
Ricky was supposed to be the "bad guy" along with Gianna: a demonic alien who sucks people out of their lives. But he bent the laws of his own empire to secure better conditions for Alex. This usually means death sentence.
I'm still at a loss as to why the authors named the book after this courteous character rather than Alex and Nikki.
I think Alex made a huge mistake going back in time. I don't trust the naysha. Ricky may be pretending, may be a false friend who will stab Alex in the back. I wouldn't put so much trust in him.
Can't wait to read book 2.
