Again a masterpiece !
This is the second book of the series but the third book I’ve read. This book can be too read as a stand-alone. It’s a science fictional read that is damn intriguing and fascinating.
Taking this book back years, it’s a story of Captain Alyx Flash Gordon, a Mars Defense Command Veteran. He’s a very different kind of person who never cared about anything, because of his nature he lost his job but now he’s offered to investigate a case.
Why was he offered to investigate the case ? What was the conspiracy going on ? It’s a very interesting read with full of twists and turns. Every page is a turner with a different suspense hidden.
The characterisation is marvellous, Flash was an amazing character: I loved his character. It’s a worth read. The language proficiency is amazing. Go and order your copy now !

This is the 2nd edition of the series Core Reality by author Thomas Funicello. This continuation is definitely in sync and is an amazing tribute and intriguing to the book 1. If you havent read the earlier book, sugest you to read that. The writing style, the paragraphs and the intriguing climaxes along with some out of the world galactical elements have been weaved and blended aptly to ensure maximum readers satisfaction. If you are a Sci-fi, Fantasy, galactical adventure lover then this book by author Thomas Funicello is an absolute bliss and surely bang for every buck spent. Even with 326 pages ,this book will make you glued to the author's creative imagination till the last paragraph asking for more. The protagonist ''Flash'' (Captain Alyx Gordon) and his role as a faded out veteran for a defense command on MARS , an asteroid mining facility, mysterious powerful gifts from new allies, uncovering of civilization ending conspiracy, friendship, responsibility of super powers, etc all this plots, characters, and amazingly creative thoughts of the outer space, makes this an absolute entertainer. Being an avid reader since 15 years with 1100+ books collections, rarely you come across a book, where in not only the content, but the book title, the writing language used, the book design, colour theme and the pacing of plots is extremely precise and this is one of those perfected articulation where as a voracious reader you will not be able to find any monotony or elasticity. Surely an absolute, entralling entertainer which can be thoroughly enjoyed by all genre of readers.

🍷Been reading the Core Reality Volume series since quite a few days and I'm loving of each book is so different from one another yet every book is a page turner. This book revolves around a mystery that uncovers another one but this time it's not as simple and it's rather very huge than one could ever imagine.
.
.
Right from the very first page, I knew this book would suprise me in a lot of new ways and it definitely did. Everytime the readers think it's going straight and things are falling into place something so unexpected happened and changed the course of the story which is actually the best part about reading it. Reading a good sci-fi thriller with an amazing amount of suspense makes it worthy read.
If you even love fantasy tales you will enjoy it, not that it has fantasy but it actually makes you feel like you're transported into another world full of missions and tasks, with dark secrets and past. Based in the late 19th century, the book has come out after a lot of research and that's clearly visible while reading.
Most of it narrated through conversations and dialogues makes it more engaging. I definitely enjoyed it and I will definitely recommend it to everyone. Go for it, even the beginners can give it a try.
