Suspend your belief
Leave the routine
Look at the stars
Wander the imagination
Are we really the only one?
Think beyond the skies
Look beyond the world
Leave the theories aside
Can linear be the evolution?
Look at the proof
Look to the wonders
Look at the past
Look into science
Can we really be the only one?!!
Open your minds
Unveil the known
There is something more
Before it all began
My review
Wondrous is the prose when the author can leave me thinking – What if this had really happened?!! I don’t believe in evolution or that we have come from the apes. There are too many differences between us, including our chromosomes, and such an evolution leaves behind a multitude of questions?
I have always believed that in some stage of Earth’s evolution, there has been an alien influx, hence the Stonehenge, Mohenjadaro and Harappa, the Indus Valley civilization, the Pyramids. The time when people could predict everything or navigate looking at the stars. Who gave ancient man the knowledge, and what happened to that era? Well, these questions have plagued me forever. And I have spent many a day wondering and imagining the What If?!!
And then lo and behold, I get to read this book by Thomas Zman, and the story triggers my imagination.
Thomas Zman’s books find their core strongly rooted in theology, and the prose strongly reflects those beliefs. This is certainly a different sci-fi thriller, where questions are asked and questions are pondered upon.
The book has its niggles. Thomas’s style of writing takes time to get used to, it may not appear like a fictional story of today. There is a formality in the structure of the sentences. I would have liked more linking up of evidence found today into the story to make it more believable. The entire prose should have brought goosebumps ideally!!
The book requires an open mind.
I downloaded the book from Kindle Unlimited on the request of the author, and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
My rating: 2 stars
About the Author
I wrote my first book when I was in the fifth grade. It wasn’t until the age of 19 that the interest again struck me, beginning the laborious task of hashing out a novel and several short stories on an antiquated typewriter. I then took a break from it all and at the age of 54, I returned to my writing, picking up exactly where I had left off – though this time with a computer!
