    Your feedback is actually pretty good, for the purpose of this book. I won’t give many hints… but it’s essentially supposed to seem like a more generic Sci-Fi novel when it’s really not. I do want it to still sound more unique and interesting to draw people in – but then the reason for it being unique or interesting should change to be other things.

    It’s pretty much a mystery/thriller in a Science Fiction setting. I do want the first impressions to make it seem a little generic – because that’s kind of the point of the novel. But at the same time, it needs to sound interesting enough to get people to pick it up and read, if you get my meaning.

    Any tips on how to keep in generic-enough sounding, but still interesting enough to read? And thank you for the tips on the prose.

    (Also, I’ll give you a hind – Reuel is the “alternate” name of a Biblical figure and also the name of a writer.)
