The firs in the shaman Series. A lot of fun and a great ride through the series. highly recommended - goldenruhl - Nov-16-2007   

WOW!!! What a Fantastic Series,I love all of S. Derkins stories, but the Mother Earth Series is a wonderful thought provoking Series. Remarkable realistic characters, the stories from A Door Opens to Dark Sunrise is one of a kind. The description of people and the places are outstanding. A place I would love to live in. To start over on a new earth
Would be awesome. A MUST READ!!! Anon Dec.-06-2007 - Anonymous - Dec-06-2007   

I love Derkin's Mother of Earth series, but part 8 "Diplomacy" seems to have a broken link. The rest of the story isn't there after a few chapters. - Jude - Dec-20-2007   

I don't know how it happened, but it seems I've missed this outstanding series until now. Lucky me, there are numerous installments available, and I'm thoroughly enjoying each and every one. If you like adventure, creativity, thoughtful discussion on the meaning of community, along with a bit of romance and a dynamite ensemble cast that just keeps getting richer and more full-bodied, give this series a chance. It is my fervent wish that this series go on indefinitely. Well done S. Derkins, and thanks! - cg - Feb-09-2008   

I love these stories. The story line is fascinating and I would love to live on Mother Earth. My Great Grandmother was a full blooded Cherokee, so maybe that's one of the reasons they appeal to me so much, but they are a treat to read and I can't wait for the next installment. - Netta - May-04-2008   

I've known about this series for a while now, but I hadn't read any of them until recently. Once I started reading this story, the first in the series, I devoured them all in a couple of days. Really excellent, and even thought-provoking stuff. - Arassar - Jan-29-2009   

wow! i must say this one of my favorite series if not the most. unique imagination. thrilling! you won't get bord reading this. i reached the end of this series and am still waiting for updates. (saved it in my bookmarks). heheh... imagine meeting your counterpart from an alternate world. i wish i could jump too. i think they could just in the future too. can't wait fir the update. im so excited. i hope its soon. so everyone, READ THIS SERIES! i promise it is more than worth your time! - rec - Jan-31-2009

- bluebutterfly - Jan-31-2011   

Please don't tell me that Destiny Unraveled is the last one in the series. I would be crushed, utterly crushed. My partner threatened to put me in the dog house if I didn't come to bed, but I ended up staying up all night to finish reading it all. Please tell me there is more coming. - Pickles - Dec-07-2011   

So glad I found this story. Great idea wish I could go too. Am interesting read all the way through. Onc you start there's no way you will stop. - Rapscallion - Jan-30-2013   

What a fantastic story! It has something for everyone, starting with a cast of loveable, real characters and rounded out with lots of adventure, spiritualism and romance. Very highly recommended! - Stacia - Jun-03-2013   

I really enjoyed the story line. Excellent series - Anonymous - Jul-06-2016   

I LOVED THE WHOLE SERIES. It is a great read. I have read it twice and will definatly read it again. Wonderful - Anna28Carm - Mar-03-2017   

a nice twist to this story... - bluebutterfly - Jan-31-2011   

I really was enjoying this story. I liked the pacing and all the confused and restless thoughts Xena was going through - her setbacks and defeats - her anger and intensity - and then it just - sort of - ended. There was no finish, no conclusion. It-really-didn't-go-anywhere. Ka-plunk. - Karon Reiter - Aug-01-2011   

I really like this story! - Starry - Sep-27-2011   

Good story. Classic Xena writer. - Karon Reiter - Jan 9th, 2005   

This is a wonderful old-fashioned Xena story. This was a delight to read. - purplehawke - Aug-18-2007   

Very sweet - Anonymous - Feb-05-2012   

Great Seven and B'Elanna story. Like all of S. Derkin's stories, this one is well written and the characters full of life. A definite must read for Voyager fans. - Stacia - Jun-02-2013   

A nice, sweet story (yes) revealing both women's softer sides. - 02210 - Mar-07-2017   

The Mother Earth series is a real treat and most enjoyable - Anonymous - Aug-15-2009   

this series is special and much fun to read - Anonymous - Aug-15-2009   

This is one turn I didn't expect in this series! Talk about an eye opener, especially considering it could very easily happen. Dramatic and intense - S. Derkins really kicks up the tension in this one while maintaining her loving relationships for the most part. Great addition to the Mother Earth Series. - Stacia - Jun-03-2013   

The Mother Earth Series is written with great imagination. What happen's when you can create your own world again! - JZ - Jan-31-2008   

More of Mother Earth is always so welcome - hope the Muse gives S Derkins many more ideas - Anonymous - Aug-15-2009   

Another solid, wonderful story in the Mother Earth series. Definitely a must read! - Stacia - Feb-11-2014   

I can't believe I'm the first to recommend this, it's an amazing series that I hope never ends. Love it!! - Niyah - Dec-05-2012   

Wonderful series. Highly recommend a read. - Anna28Carm - Jul-07-2016   

Not my favorite in this series, but it really drives home the point of "there but the grace of god goes I." A must read for fans of the mother earth series. - Stacia - Mar-06-2015   

I LOVE this story and it's sequel. Great read. - Anonymous - Feb-10-2008   

This was a totally great read, I just wish there had been a sequel. hint, hint. - Jasper - Feb-13-2008   

really enjoyed this story out of the whole series! - bluebutterfly - Feb-03-2011   

This is one of my favorite series. I have read it numerous times and each time I love it. I only wish there was more to read. - Pickles - Jan-14-2012   

Awwww I want me some more Mother Earth. I read the whole series 2 days straight and I'm obsessed. I just can't get enough and totally recommend to all those that love adventure, romance and humour. An absolute all-rounder. - Niyah - Dec-05-2012   

Awww, I really wish there were more stories in the Mother Earth Universe. This is a great entry and definitely leaves the reader wanting more. If you're looking for a complete story, look no farther than this series because it has everything, love, drama, passions (not always the good type!), humor and real characters. Very highly recommended. - Stacia - Apr-09-2014

Awesome historical novel!! I recommend it with both thumbs and big toes up, and I hope that when you all read it, you comment on it. Feed the bards, people, we love it when we get appreciations of our work. - Katia N. Ruiz - May 10th, 2005   

This is a wonderful story! The writing itself is fantastic and the story really does capture the feel of a time long gone. - Anonymous - Oct 7th, 2005   

What an AWESOME story!You really have to read it yourself to appreciate it! the quality of writing is superb, the storyline well thought out and lots of steamy scenes. YUM! - Anonymous - Oct 10th, 2005   

This is a sweet and compelling story, but the abrupt ending leaves the story feeling incomplete. - jaeygatsby - Dec-15-2007   

Loved the story, but thought the ending was a little abrupt. Could use a sequal!!! - Anonymous - Apr-05-2009   

it was a good story, but i feel the ending could have been a little stronger. good job though. - pickles - May-25-2010   

I agree, fantastic story but abrupt ending. I don't think anyone would have minded if it had gone on and on. Please let us know how these characters fare. - JettBlk - Nov-08-2010   

wow nicely done. very sweet. - sandy - Jun-01-2013   

What a great period piece! The characters are rich and really seem to fit the time. I agree with other reviewers - the ending was very abrupt and definitely leaves the reader wanting more. If you like period pieces, rich with history and wonderful characters, this one is for you. - Stacia - Jun-02-2013   

One of the greater stories I've ever had the pleasure of reading. The main character, Luna, has to figure out what the heck happened to her and how she ended up in space. But where she ends up is even more interesting. Read the sequel, The Fallen, and you'll find out more of this place Luna ends up in. :-D - Katia N. Ruiz - May 10th, 2005   

If you hadn't read this story please do. It's a great story about a woman who gets taken from our time into the future and how she finds love even though the Earth has removed unlikeable DNA traits such as homosexuality. It's a great story and don't forget to read the sequals The Fallen and there's a third called Reining in the Belle. - Anonymous - Jun-02-2006   

love it got to make another one...maybe...thanks for the story just beautiful... - Anonymous - Apr-13-2008   

This is one of my favorite original fictions. I've reread this story and its sequels at least ten times. If there is nothing else that interesting to read on that day, I just go to my bookmarks and find your stories and read. Awesome work!! I hope you can finish Reining in the Belle. I'm addicted to this series. - Sally - Apr-18-2009   

Great s.f. and good story telling - Anonymous - Aug-15-2009   

The Mother Earth series blends modern technology with ancient in a unique way that appears to be good for the environment. One of the many great things about this series is the character development and a practical approach to everyday problems. Highly recommended! - Stacia - Jun-03-2013   

Great entry in the Mother Earth's series. This series has an extended cast of main characters and an even larger one of supporting characters. My one beef about this series is that JP (Cierra's spouse) gets put through the emotional wringer and often (ok almost always) is the one who has to compromise in their relationship and in fact, most of the relationships portrayed have this characteristic. This entry has a lot of JP seemingly having to compromise, especially when Cierra often does things and just crosses her fingers that this time she hasn't pushed JP too far. That said, it is a wonderful series and definitely worth a read. - Stacia - Apr-06-2014   

Great continuation of life on Mother Earth. I especially like how the author blends fiction with serious doses of realism in this series. What a wonderful read! - Stacia - Jun-03-2013   

I started reading this story, and I'm eagerly awaiting more of it. Its very unique, and I hope that Ms. Derkins can continue. - Katia N. Ruiz - May 10th, 2005   

must have more please love the stories and hope you make a 3rd!!! - Anonymous - Apr-27-2008   

Another great entry in the mother earth series. I enjoyed the blending of old and new technology in this one, along with more vivid characters to fall in love with. A great read. - Stacia - Apr-09-2014   

This entry in the Mother Earth series is kind of different from the other stories, concentrating on the expanding colonization of Mother Earth by people from different times/worlds. In a way, I feel this should be a spinoff because it seems people are moving away from the ideals and principles of the first several stories. Regardless, the worlds S. Derkins creates are rich, full of life and the ups and downs associated with it. One of the best series in the fanfic world. - Stacia - Jun-04-2013
