“In this thrilling novel, the author draws parallels between Earth and another world that both face similar struggles against darkness. The story follows a crew of seven individuals from various religious backgrounds, including Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, and Native Americans, as they unite to fight the darkness and attempt to escape to carry a gift to another world.”
“The author takes the reader on a roller coaster ride of action adventure spanning locations from Kentucky, Virginia, and Washington D.C. to Brazil, Dubrovnik, Croatia, the Vatican, the Darien Gap, and beyond the Earth. The novel celebrates diversity and promotes loving thy neighbor.”
“The author challenged my self-righteousness and helped me see the beauty of God's grace by breaking down my walls of judgment.”
“The trilogy highlights the similarities between the teachings of Sikhism and Christianity.”
NUERA1 accelerates across the galaxy to reach its destination Gliese 667Cc. While in torpor, the long sleep, the planet becomes tidally locked with its red dwarf star. A war breaks out on the planet between the forces of the light and the dark. As Tsiera’s band of seven fights the evil forces of Sirrun, she must make a choice that will determine her world’s course for the next 2000 years.
Onboard NUERA1, Mikel, the son of deceased rapist Monsignor Mike, is haunted by the sins of his father. He struggles to overcome the shadows to prove he will not follow in his father’s footsteps.
General Geoviz sends a signal to NUERA1 warning them of a fiery hot planet in their path. The astronomers in Chile have given it the designation H1 – Hell.
Can Commander Jake Young quell the fires brewing within NUERA1 and guide her past H1? Will Tsiera make the right choice? Did NUERA1 escape evil on Earth to be dropped right back into another war for the light?
I finally found some time the last couple of days to wrap up the last 40 pages or so of this book and series.
I can't quite remember how I came across the first book in the series but I do remember it was one of those wild outliers when it hit my radar. I will say overall I did enjoy each of the three books of the trilogy. They were definitely wild and entertaining short reads. It's a shame the third and final book of the series caught me in my biggest reading slump in the last 5 years or so. Even with that being said, it was my most consistent read over the last couple of months. I only got a few pages read some weeks but I never felt disconnected from it which should say quite a bit.
Another pleasant surprise was the epilogue and additional facts or fiction area at the end. I always enjoy seeing where inspiration comes from when an author is willing to share it. And to include the language definitions from the race of the far off planet in the story was the cherry on top.
I don't know if Henry Sipes has other works beyond this series. However, if he does, this is more than likely an author that was new to me that I will check out more of in the future.
Thanks for helping me get through this reading slump!
