The Intern: Who ends up on a mysterious planet tucked away in deep space (The Forbidden World - Book 1)

Forbidden World #1

by Garry Ocean

The “Forbidden world”, a new sci-fi adventure series, takes the reader to exciting new worlds in the not-so-distant future, 500 years ahead of our time. By that time, the human race would have developed technologies and transportation vehicles to explore the Deep Space.
By both destiny and accident, Nick Sobolev, a young and promising intern with the Military Space Academy’s courier service who was supposed to deliver a cargo to the exploratory outpost near the cocooned space, finds himself trapped on one of the planets in the shielded system, with no means to return home. It is unknown who and when placed the protective cocoon around the planet.
Nick finds himself deeply immersed in solving ancient secrets of the local civilization. To save his new friends, he has to participate in the brutal Ritual reminiscent of Earth’s ancient gladiator fights. This does not go unnoticed. Nick’s participation attracts the attention of many powerful locals, all of whom have their own plans for the stranger they believe to have come from the wild steppe.
Some want to kill him; others see in him the messiah from an ancient prophecy.

Some spelling glitches that should be corrected but a fun read overall. Look forward to the 2nd book...

Not for everyone

The story starts out with a secret government organization, then goes to an intern and some interesting technical jargon. I felt the technical jargon was over done. Then the crash landing and the story gets a little confusing and complicated. I think the premise was good, just feel like the execution was a little lacking.

Entertaining fantasy

Enjoyable story but very disjointed story line that ended virtually in mid sentence. Nick, the main character was Superman without a cape lost in time millions apart.

Interesting book. I enjoyed the characters.

[Charles Lipnicki · Rating 1 out of 5]

Unreadable. Run-on sentences. Quality of a fifth grader's book report.
