Osguards: Homecoming: Guardians Of The Universe

by Malcolm Petteway, Karen Petteway (Editor)

It is the third generation and the fourth age of mankind. Earth has become an unwitting pawn in the Kulusk Empire's thirst for revenge against the Universal Science, Security and Trade Associations of Planets—USSTAP. Maxum Ritchen, the leader of the Kulusk Empire, has set into motion the destruction of USSTAP and with it the destruction of Earth. The Osguards, the American descendants of twin Chaktun princesses who fled to Earth and lived as slaves in the pre Civil War United States, have inherited their lawful place as the leaders of USSTAP and the defenders against the Kulusk challenge. They save Earth from Kulusk tyranny, but can they save USSTAP—can they save themselves? "Extraordinary science fiction story" * John J. Daley o Waterbury Republican-American "Great story! This is one of the best science fiction novels I've read in a long time...great job with the characters and the action." --Writer's Digest 10th Annual International Self-Published Book Awards

Reviews

[Stefan Vucak · Rating 3 out of 5]

Homecoming tempts the reader with a promise of a serious science fiction work, which unfortunately, quickly leads to disappointment. The story concepts are patently simplistic and the characters don’t behave naturally, their emotions forced and exaggerated. The work may have appeal for young teen readers, but there is little in this book for mature lovers of SF seeking for depth and believable plotting.

Malcolm Petteway produces flashes of good writing that is entertaining and engaging, and his imagination captures the reader. By employing his writing skills to a serious, well-plotted work, he should find success as an author.
