Nova: Episodes: Survivalism
The sun exploded. Yet earth survived, split asunder into three crust fragments with its molten core acting as the new sun. Survivors of the holocaust emerge only to be caught in the middle of a war between mutant monstrosities and the machines that were left behind. Now a dangerous journey has been thrust upon the street magician Logan. Waking up in a abandoned training facility, he must now survive in a hostile environment while evading an powerful unseen force that stalks his every move. Armed with a searing blade and mystical psychic powers, he and his companions must venture out onto the shattered world to uncover the mysteries of Galilea, the eternal sanctuary . . . before their mysterious assailant gets to it first. Episodes is a post-apocalyptic adventure spanning into a five part saga, fusing science fiction with elements from medieval fantasy. From creatures to psychics to guns to fantastic swordplay, this imaginative world leaves everyone at the edge of their seats wanting more.

There was a whole room filled with electronics that monitored our sensory readings & dreams.
By most, Colonel Scathers was considered a mad man.
Valinda (f, Secretary of Defense) claims she had no part in any of the confidential project.
The NRSCA will be investigating.
Gliese (extrasolar planet) on the 581d Libra constellation was the only suitable place for habitat.
Captain Reginald Rampras IV (1-eyed, Beta Squadron soldier), Dr. Multanis (physicist), Lieutenant Christopher Calis (technician), Logan, Vanis (lead psionicist), Samiren XIII (8’ model), & Martin were ready to evacuate.
BioDyne will be subpoenaed to produce a detailed report.
Through various battles 75% of the military force has been eliminated.
Scathers had been promoted to a General.
Each Paradigm teacher taught something different.
Quan Shia was paying very close attention to Logan.
The transport came to an abrupt stop. The squadron were scattered all throughout the armada’s debris.
Creatures of all sizes/shapes as well as insects’ & birds were everywhere.
Zodia (planet) could be seen in the distance.
Who/what will the exploration group encounter next?
Who will survive & who will perish?
I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.
A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written MS-young adult age sci-fi book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great sci-fi movie, or better yet a mini TV series. It was just OK for me but I am still going to rate it at 5 stars.
