EarthUnder: The Meteorite Chronicles

by Edwin Thompson

A well-traveled young adventurer and a successful, determined meteorite hunter, Bryce has been obsessed since childhood with the magical allure of space rocks. This mission provides him with all the facets of life that he is most drawn to: global travel, meeting new people, adventure, discovery, and the hunt. In a dust-covered desert village on the edge of the earth, Bryce finds himself injured, alone, and pursued, the threat of death a constant travel companion. Never in his wildest dreams did he think that his quest for meteorites would take him where he will soon find himself. Jasmina is the stunningly beautiful, courageous, self-reliant, strong-willed tribal princess from the other side of the world-and from Bryce's past. The powerful and mysterious leader of her village on the edge of the Great Sand Sea, she displays a depth of wisdom and experience far beyond normal, the clever glint in her gorgeous emerald eyes hinting at an otherworldly past. What starts as a typical globe-trekking adventure to recover these stony treasures from space leads Bryce on a hazardous journey to a strange new world beyond his wildest imagination. Mankind is in for the shock of twenty millennia as Bryce and Jasmina reveal the truth about our home world, Earth. Will Bryce and Jasmina survive their pursuers? Will mankind survive-and will the Earth survive mankind? Can the pending doom be avoided? Will our worlds come together to defend the Earth against the treachery and relentless attack by an amoral, powerful, and malicious enemy? Edwin Thompson's novel EarthUnder is the first in a series about a fantastic journey through space and time filled with mind-blowing twists and turns, an exciting adventure of discovery that will turn the world of science fiction upside down.

Earth Under isn't like any other typical science fiction book. Sure it's elements are the same but the story is captivating. It immediately draws readers into its plot. Action, suspense, science and some romance. All packed inside this explosive read. I usually don't read sci-fi but after this book, it gives me more hope for its genre. Now, I will be looking at sci-fi fantasies with a lot more attention. Edwin E.T. Thompson has deleivered just the right amount of everything. He has pulled me into his world of fiction faster than I thought I would have been.

Here, inside this entertaining tale, I met a character from planet Earth who then goes on an adventure many of us never dreamed of...Bryce is fascinated with space. Space holds a lot of possibilities...and in this case, he meets an alien woman, Jasmine. Both from different worlds are thrust together to battle in keeping the evil plan from happening. Time is ticking away fast and the heroes will have many challenges ahead of them if they are to make it alive. Earth Under should be made into a big motion picture. I can already see the scenes coming alive...vibrant, fast-paced, and full of danger. I highly recommend this sci-fi fantasy to readers everywhere.
