Official Review: Eamon's Sin by Charles Nelson
How far would you go to protect the ones you love? When push comes to shove, would you keep your promise to a dying relative? These questions should be at the back of your mind as you read through the pages of Eamon's Sin by Charles Nelson.
The world came to a point where natural birth was forbidden. To that end, spouses who needed children applied to ROAS for genetically engineered babies. As a result, the world's population was reduced to five thousand people.
Rayla's sister, Ria, gave birth to twins of which one died and the other survived. Knowing what was going to happen, Rayla decided to help her save and protect the baby who survived. She would do everything within her power to see that her sister's baby, Eamon, lived. Meanwhile, there was something about Eamon that would be of great importance to their future. Would Rayla scale through the huddles to keep Eamon safe?
Eamon's Sin is a sci-fi book with many twists and turns. The author does an excellent job of stringing many literary elements together to deliver a classic work of fiction. Though the storyline isn't a new kid on the block, he presents it uniquely — a perspective that's somewhat different from many other sci-fi stories I've read. There are lies, love, hate, betrayal, moments of serendipity, and so on, that makes this book worth reading. In the hierarchies of fictional stories, this one has a place in the upper echelon.
As weird as it may sound, my best feature in this book was the dialogues. I found myself so engrossed in the conversations that I never wanted them to stop. With every line of dialogue, I could feel the emotions they portrayed. The author didn't need to explain to me when a character was happy, sad, angry, surprised, or expressing any feelings. I could feel these emotions through the words. This made me believe that the author knew his onions in terms of developing engaging dialogues.
There was something I observed that tickled my fancy. Besides the excellent character development, the choice of character names was interesting — it spoke volumes about the author's religious inclination. In the book, you'd find characters like Eve, Isaac, Israel, Ishmael, and others. The fact that the author didn't smear this book with religious blather was commendable. I would also add that this book had nothing to do with any religion. I pointed this out to express my profound respect for the author's personality.
This is one of those books that I would advise readers never to read with assumptions. The twists and turns shattered most of the theories I formulated about where the book was heading. The suspense in this book is mind-blowing. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.
Though there are a handful of negligible grammatical errors, there's nothing in this book to rob it of the perfect rating it deserves. Therefore, I give it four out of four stars. This book makes for an exciting read to people who enjoy sci-fi books that depict a utopian world.
