The Finale of Lift Off! Bros Magkalas is dead… or, at least, he should be. Instead, he has an alien artifact in his chest, and power beyond his wildest dreams. But will that be enough to dake down the battleship of a Laho warlord, even with the help of some unlikely allies?
A lawyer by training and a writer by inclination, in 2009 Paolo resigned from one of the top law firms in the country to establish Eight Ray Sun Publishing Inc., driven to take advantage of the burgeoning ebook market to allow Filipino Speculative Fiction authors a chance, not only to reach an international audience, but to eventually make a living from writing.
Paolo’s articles have appeared in the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Philippine Online Chronicles, and Code RED Magazine. His stories have appeared in the Digest of Philippine Genre Stories, A Time for Dragons, and the Farthest Shore. He won third place in the 2009 Carlos Palanca Awards in the Short Story for Children (English) category. His greatest escapade was sneaking in to watch Total Recall when he was 12 years old. It was totally not worth it.
Lift Off is a great mini series to introduce to us the world of Mythspace. It might have that vibe of Guardians of the Galaxy due to the cast of characters except it lacked one more guy. But scrap off that. Mythspace might become bigger than Guardians of the Galaxy. It has the potential to explore the stories of our mythologies as we put them in outer space.
Mythspace's Lift Off definitely launched us to a world beyond Earth. A place where a kapre, tikbalang and a mananangal could be our protector against the other aliens. It definitely left a mark for bigger things to come.
