THREE IMMORTALS by Bert-Oliver Boehmer is an action-packed intergalactic science fiction adventure. This story is full of space battles, alliances, friendships and betrayals, knowledge, and the fight for ultimate supremacy. I feel it is appropriate for all ages, has several powerful messages and is also just fun to read.
After being almost eliminated by extra-galactics, humans have risen again. Led by the Assembly, a body of immortals of all races, the humans are once again endangered by a ruthless Empress seeking power over all.
Kel Chaada, a popular war hero becomes the leader of a conglomerate of mining worlds with his unbelievable defeat over the Aloo Das lead by Sya Omega. He is elevated to the Assembly and receives the gift of immortality only to be betrayed.
As Kel flees to the outer fringes of the galaxy, he discovers ancient alien civilizations. Kel learns those his has been taught to fear just may be the allies he needs to save humanity once again.
I enjoyed reading this science fiction book as a change of pace from my usual choice of material. I also enjoyed this author’s worldbuilding. The names in the worldbuilding are unique and difficult, but once everyone was sorted and the action took hold of the story it just flew by. The space and time scientific concepts were difficult on occasion, but the overall character plotlines always kept me turning the pages. I loved Kel’s hero journey throughout the story and I felt all the characters from all the differing civilizations were intriguing.
Overall, an entertaining science fiction space action-adventure.

If species-survival stories set in the very distant future are your thing, then Three Immortals is the story for you. It’s a story about the sacrifices made to achieve that survival, and not just by the human race. It’s a story about politics and betrayal, friends and enemies, governments built on lies, and the importance of intelligent military tactics. It’s a story about different species and enemies coming together to ensure their continued existence. It’s a story about abuse of power and what people are willing to do to gain unlimited power. Above all, it’s a story about the wisdom and strength of alliances–whether that alliance is meant to resolve conflicts, enhance technologies, or learn–and the consequences of lies and betrayal.
The story is well thought-out and makes excellent use of the complex interactions between space and time, multiple dimensions, and the harsh ‘landscape’ of space. The main character is likable, as are the representatives of his allies who become almost as crucial as the main character himself.
One thing I found a little confusing at first was the ‘who’s who’ and ‘where’s where’, but that becomes clearer as the story progresses, so I wouldn’t classify it as a negative.
All things considered, Three Immortals is an entertaining story that’s worth reading, especially from the mid-point forward—that’s when you start feeling the urge to read the story “fast, like a human”!

Excellent! Fun read. Good characters, space battles, and enough science to satisfy my inner nerd, but not overwhelm me. Well done! I can't wait to see what's next in this saga!

Three Immortals is a unique, fast-paced first-contact (sort of) space opera perfect for fans of classical sci-fi. Battles and space-faring? Check. Twists and turns? Check. Mind-bending themes and speculation? Check!
I really enjoyed the book and, so let me start with the structure and presentation.
In terms of structure, Three Immortals is the first standalone book on the Galacticide universe. This is a complete story that opens and closes the central plot, and can be read alone; to my understanding, the other books in the same universe are also standalones. However, although the plot of Three Immortals closes well enough to have a great ending, there are some minor sub-plots left deliberately open—and they hint at something much larger and epic.
This is a first-person past-tense narration that follows a few different points-of-view, before centring on the main character (Kel Chaada) for most of the remaining plot. The opening chapters jump from PoV to PoV between scenes, creating quite an interesting setup—if you are paying attention, you can see how the decisions of a few key players kickstart the plot.
The prose is accessible, transparent, and does not get in the way. Something that I found gripping is that the author seems pretty deliberate and intention about descriptions—if you are paying close attention, you will find clues as to what may happen hidden in the narrative in the form of choice adjectives or descriptors.
The following (major) spoiler is a small analysis of a scene I particularly liked, and thought it was an ingenious narrative trick.
Overall, Three Immortals has, to me, all the feelings of a classic sci-fi: a fast-paced narrative, the grandeur of galactic civilisations, big ideas, and the optimism (a glimmer of hope on a grim setting) that was so characteristic of sci-fi books of the '60s-80s.
Let me tackle each of the points comprising the 'classical sci-fi' feeling.
In terms of narration, this is pretty fast-paced; there is so much plot packed in this short novel that it could have easily been a trilogy of its own. How did the author manage it? Well, some scenes are summarised, reflected on, or fast-forwarded. This 'sped-up scenes' are often presented as a character (often Kel Chaada) reflecting on it; after the summarising reflection, the plot continues.
I did not find this narrative style upsetting (I have read too many sci-fi books from the 60s-80s), but it may not be everyone's cup-of-tea. If you like all the scenes on the page, this is likely not for you. That said, I only found a single instance in which a sped-up scene actually bothered me, and that was because I thought the impact of the events deserved to be fully discussed.
Regarding the second classical element—the grandeur of galactic civilisations—this book has it all. Most nations are multi-solar-system, with multiple planets and a long history; each one has navies, there are pirates, colonies, everything. This is also a history-rich setting, since there are myths a plenty derived from a history that most of humankind has long forgotten; namely, there was an in-book galactic-level genocide, the Galacticide, which destroyed much of written history. There are also galactic-level power-plays, diverse political systems and conflicts, Ruins of eras gone by, technology that was lost to time, species that were lost to time.
There is a Dune-ish flavour in the sense of having these big, multi-planet nations, plus a set of powerful/immortal people plotting around and about. There are a lot of implicit discussions around political power and influence, the rewrite of frontiers through war, and the manipulation of history to serve a few.
Another element is the optimism. I can only compare it to Clarke's Odysseys and how he always showed that, yes, humankind may never overcome its inner conflicts, wars, and power grabs... but there is a chance for something different; the positive outcome is achievable. In a more modern term, I'd classify this book as nobledark sci-fi.
The last element of classical sci-fi—the big themes—is certainly present here... and there are so many good themes!
First, I need to praise Boehmer's world-building and race-building. Plenty of speculative fiction falls into the trap of having fantasy/sci-fi races that are nothing more than "humans in a costume"—but this is not the case here. The non-human civilisations are downright fascinating, and their interactions (as well as the shock of the first contact) are incredibly well-thought. The aliens' cultures are nuanced, their differences stark, and discovering their beliefs (and, thus, their interpretation of in-book history) was highly enjoyable.
Second, we have other concepts woven into the plotline. One of the prominent themes is centred around struggle and conflict, and how it can shape societies—do we seek safety or do we grow stronger through conflict? It is not only the humans that have this mindset, but also the non-human species, and so we get quite an interesting convergence of ideas leading to distinct applications.
Third, the interpretation and use of multiverses here was fascinating. In some sense, it reminded me of what Borges introduced in The Garden of Forking Paths, but in a sci-fi setting. This is a theme that appears in the last third of the book, but when it does, many 'loose ends' (for a lack of a better word) of the prior chapters tie-in beautifully.
Overall, I really enjoyed it and will seriously consider continuing with the rest of the series.

A three-dimensional tale fused in a four-dimensional continuum. THREE IMMORTALS by Bert-Oliver Boehmer mingles science fact, science fiction, cosmography, biology, and archeology in a way that creates a futuristic fantastical universe that’s chockablock full with rich human characters and intriguing, believable intergalactic species and entities. Boehmer expertly builds an all-encompassing universal world of war and power politics that is most definitely alien in nature but, oh, so familiar to us here on Earth, and one that not only spans eons of time, but that gives new meaning to organic and inorganic life that may exist within the mysterious realms of space-time. Space combat, human and alien allegiances, strange friendships made, and traitorous foes exposed prevail throughout this intriguing story, and no book worth its salt would be complete without a love story, which this action-packed thriller does not fail to provide. Great storytelling, Mr. Boehmer! I highly recommend this enjoyable read to not only consumers of sci-fi fiction but readers of any genre.

Three Immortals by Bert Oliver Boehmer, is a space revenge story that sees all of our characters experience some kind of betrayal. First, readers are introduced to Keel Chaada, who is betrayed by his former best friend, now turned nemesis. Then we meet our other immortals, Sygma Omga who wishes to stop the abuse her father put her through her year beside him, and lastly Vyoz Vyooma who is a professional soldier on a mission to conquer and slay.
This is a complex space opera with a complex history. I really enjoyed the switch in perspectives between characters, but I felt that the amount of time spent with each character was inconsistent, leading to some being more developed then others and I would certainly appreciate more time with these characters because what is offered is very interesting and begs to be explored deeper and for a longer period. This is a science fiction story with high stakes. A sense of urgency permeated the whole story and while not every mission felt important, the missions that did, added a high-level of tension to the story that I enjoyed. Author Bert-Oliver Boehmer has written an action oriented sci-fi novel that was entertaining from start to finish. While I felt lost in the grandeur of the story, the massive scale of the scenes and stakes elevates a story that could have been a standard space romp, into a truly epic science fiction experience. It helps that the characters are engaging and are as well developed as the plot is. There were some personal moments throughout the book that help readers make an emotional connection to the characters. The characters are very compelling and by the end of the story we get a satisfying resolution that feel earned and makes the story well worth the read.
Three Immortals is a classic science fiction story that is perfect for readers looking for a hardcore sci-fi experience, Even if you are not a fan of the genre, there is something uniquely compelling about the characters in the story that will allow anyone to enjoy this riveting space romp.

I received a free digital copy in exchange for an honest review.
I can honestly say, I had no special expectations about this book when it was offered to me. I usually don't get many sci-fi books offered, even though I love them, it is mostly fantasy, and I just couldn't say no. It turned out to be a good decision.
But it did have me worried at first. For the first few chapters I could hardly keep up with all the names and information that felt thrown at me and it did take me some time to get through the first 20% of the book, trying to take mental notes and not get lost. I decided to take time with it and see where it takes me. It was a great journey. Getting deeper into the story, everything started making sense and the events connected, so the book turned out to be a real joy.
Based on what I said, it's probably obvious already, it's quite a complex story, taking place through multiple dimensions and it's quite a journey through space and time, pointing out the harsh reality of space. It's set in the future, but often comes back to complex history. The story is told through different perspectives between characters, which I really liked, but I wish some characters would get more page time.
It quickly became obvious, this is an action packed sci-fi space opera, and I don't usually say that, but the story could be longer. The whole story is taking place on a massive scale, with high tension events through the novel, and sometimes I felt like it needed a bit of slowing down and offering more insight on the events. But it was still an entertaining read up to the end, keeping you hooked with anticipation of what's going to happen.
I have to say, despite my confusion at first, it was a great and epic read. If you like fast paced sci-fi books, please, do pick it up. It offers everything a space opera should have in 300 pages. I didn't find any information about it, but I hope the Three Immortals is getting a sequel, because I would love to get some more insight into the world and the amazing characters.

I rarely stray from my comfort zone. I know what kind of books I enjoy and because reading is a form of comfort, I don't often put myself in a position that might lead to me hating a book so much it was difficult to read. And although I didn't hate this book, it was extremely difficult to get through. I kept hoping I'd get into it but it didn't happen.
Reading this book has just made me realise how my enjoyment of Sci-Fi started and ended with Divergent and The Hunger Games. And while very brilliantly written with decent characters and a decent enough plot and a decent middle-grade read, I can't say I enjoyed my experience with this book.
If space wars set in the far future, think Guardians of the Galaxy meet The 100, is your thing, you should definitely check this one out.
I gave it three stars because its decently written and fully embodies the Sci-Fi genre, it just wasn't for me.
Thank you to #haguepublishing for #gifting me this ebook.

I really got into the story. The story line was fresh with likable characters that had their good and bad sides. The plot had some good twists that I did not expect. I like the use of the author's biological knowledge integrated into the story. I am eagerly waiting for the next one in the series.

Intense read
I was thrown off at the start of the book where it started in present day. Then it skipped back 22 orbits and gave the backstory which took a while to progress. And it was all necessary as the story progressed. I found I really enjoyed the character development. the premise of the story And the ending Thought provoking. I look forward to more for more stories from this author

Disclaimer: I was given a copy of this in exchange for an honest review.
A mixed bag. I feel churlish for saying this, but I did offer an honest review - I don't think this is written that well. Characterisation is flat, the dialogue veers between basic and frankly poor, and even the sentence structure is sometimes not all that great. There is, too, an over-reliance on space-y sounding alien names, and the alternate time units are just a distraction.
That said, the plot's a grower. There's some fascinating ideas on display here and a far-future society that, by and large, feels well thought-out. The story I enjoyed from start to finish, and our protagonist, the only truly three dimensional character in the book, is likeable, realistically flawed but likeable. There's enough in here to make it worth sticking with.

The story I enjoyed from start to finish, and our protagonist, the only truly three dimensional character in the book, is likeable, realistically flawed but likeable. There's enough in here to make it worth sticking with.

Written in the spirit of golden age science fiction authors like Niven and Asimov, Three Immortals brims with imagination and is backed up by a solid foundation of hard science. The scope of Boehmer’s world building is probably the biggest draw here. Three galactic civilisations are explored in detail. Thousands of years of history are meticulously charted. A multiverse of possibility unfolds before the reader’s eyes. And there’s even a healthy dose of speculative xenobiology on show. All in all, a fun and propulsive ride through space-time and what looks to be the beginning of a great space opera saga.

Fast action for all.
I'm not sure I fancied this book based on the cover and intro but was very glad I took the time. A Cracking read with a superb grasp of characters that lead down an action avenue filled with many twists and plots,highly recommended to any sci-fi fan with a taste for the different and unusual.

good story but …
Both characters and plot explanations too shallow to be truly satisfying. That being said I read through quickly, enjoyed the read and am now moving on to the next instalment

Enjoying Read
I enjoyed the main character in this book. He was not perfect, but he was honest with himself… after a while anyway. I especially enjoyed the idea of self growth. It was interesting. Good story.

good plot hindered by complicated linguistics
i liked the plot, but the use of linguistically barely pronounceable names for people, places, and ideas hinders the process of understanding and identifying with characters and situations.

Great sci-fi writing. Well paced and fun to read. Enjoyed the biology aspects and world building. My only complaint is the naming conventions were really hard to connect with.

Did not finish.

Put it down at 14%, read something else, tried again, didn't read more than a couple more pages before opting to let it go. The narrative style feels like watching a movie dominated by voiceover. Maybe try to read this in the voice of Morgan Freeman if you're going to try it...

Written by a 5 year old
Simplistic in both storyline and language. Conversations are like school kids playing at being soldiers. Everything is imagined and described in the most obvious way and then presented like we are supposed to be shocked by the revelation. Disappointing.
