Science Fiction remains a stronghold for great storytellers, people who rock back in writing chairs and see a world confronted by the unexpected. We’re not talking about the great poet Robert Frost’s “Fire and Ice” … rather something other-worldly, yet believable. It stretches our imagination to the breaking point, but not beyond. The human characters are cut, not from cardboard, but from flesh and blood, with uncertainty, bluster, humility and bravado, forced into the chaos and heroics of the unknown. Some survive. Many don’t.
Ride the magic carpet of Marsell Morris, author of Alien Plot – First Contact. He takes us around the world, from tundra to dusty Africa, from swamps to the White House. We gasp for air, thirst for water and sink beneath the waves. In the end, author Morris does not solve the whole problem because another book waits just a few light years away. Speed it up, Mr. Morris. Get it here sooner. This page-flipping storytelling is fun to read.
