Great Read!
This was an exceptional science fiction book.It had mystery, action, adventure, and the style of writing that stirs the imagination.I love books that leave me with philosophical questions.The new places that the author invents are incredible, and the characters are unforgettable.This book is definitely worth the read.

Could this be true?
I stumbled across this unknown science fiction novel. It's a fun read, but the underlying message of reality and our true place in the universe is what grabbed me. I can't help wondering if the message is true. If you are at all interested in religion or cosmology, you should read this book. ... Read more
