"This is the first book of the Splintered Universe Trilogy. I hope the next book will be available soon so I can continue to follow Rhea and Bennie on their dangerous adventures."--Martha's Bookshelf

"Ms. Harvey did a superb job with the narration [of this audio book by Iambik]. She manages to enthuse the personality of the characters into each voice...the narration never takes over the story but rather enhances it."

"I want to be her when I grow up"

Amazon reviewer Susan shares: "Rhea Hawke is a Galactic Guardian, and I love to say her name. Her name alone let's you know that there is a bad-ass super hero of a woman on site. I can picture her boots, her great coat, and her side arms. I want to be her when I grow up. Obviously you can tell I developed some hero worship for her by the end of this book. I really got wrapped up in this novel. Yes, the characters only grew a little bit, and that growth was mainly on Rhea and her relationship with her mother, but I really connected with her. I loved all the fancy tech and the variety of alien races, with humans barely hanging on as a species. I will definitely be keeping my eye out for Book 2"

"I had lots of fun following the adventures of our heroine, Rhea Hawke. She is the cop who breaks all the rules, the outsider cop, transported to the future.

The action and the 'good cop having a bad time' aspects of this story were handled very well. Lots happens and it is fun to get carried along for the ride. 

You will have to read the book … if you like futurist sci-fi and solving plot puzzles. This is a well-written book, with a tight plot and lots of interesting ideas and events that maintains interest from start to finish. AND the backstory and metaphysical bits suggest the trilogy overall will be more than the sum of its parts, so that means two more good books after this one. Win/win!" --FreeFalconer, Amazon Reviewer

Speculating Canada reviews Nina Munteanu's "Outer Diverse" Book 1 of her Splintered Universe Trilogy:

"Nina Munteanu creates a human future on the edge of chaos, and a multiverse that flows back and forth, one universe feeding into another...Munteanu illustrates her love of diverse ecosystems, richly describing complex alien eco-webs. Rich descriptions of biodiversity populate her narrative, making the alien environment feel real, feel close, engage the senses. She evokes in the reader a desire for exploring the miraculous diversity of life...Munteanu's narrative focuses on a woman who identifies as human but discovers that her body contains a richness of diversity, skills beyond human ability and often beyond her control."--Derek Newman-Stille
