Review by Mich Cyrus -- Evolution's Edge
[Following is a volunteer review of "Evolution's Edge" by J.K. Pascall , Aaron E. Davis.]
Evolution’s Edge by J.K. Pascall and Aaron E. Davis.
Imagine a being from another universe creeping into your subconscious. What would be your reaction? Would you amalgamate or fight with it? Evolution’s Edge by J.K. Pascall and Aaron E. Davis triggers your imaginations and pioneers your mind to a globe of alternative possibilities. The protagonist, Cheveyo, explores this thought-provoking theory of parallel worlds in this novella. This science fiction is a celestial escapade of a fight for power, with arrays of love, loyalty, despair, and ineptitude.
Cheveyo is an acknowledged and feared leader of Intenebu and is of “Prodiom” origin, a type of warrior class born of strong hate emotion. Kevaughn is a human whom Cheveyo terms as a menace to his people and could prove disastrous to his society. Consequently, Cheveyo is compelled to obliterate Kevaughn in the endeavor to safeguard his people. In the process, he is confined in the latter’s mind. Cheveyo has to live, and for him to do so, he has to form an affinity with Kevaughn. How will he survive? Better still, what conditions will Kevaughn stipulate? Will Cheveyo restrain his temper, or will it extirpate them? Seize a copy to find out.
This publication is a page-turner. There are numerous aspects I appreciated about it. To begin with, the physical descriptions portrayed are so graphic that I could create an impression from it. The authors executed remarkable work by employing metaphorical expressions in this intriguing narrative. This stylistic device supplements the story's portrayal by relevantly aiding the work to achieve a riveting end. We are introduced to Cheveyo when the narration unfolds. The elucidations of his unusual habitat and distinct abilities to see in the dark and sense when the darkness had a presence were phenomenal. The book is fast-paced, and the authors maintain this by delicately avoiding the monotony of using parlance.
There was one aspect to disdain about the book. The characters’ names used were mystifying as I could barely tell their gender. Lokono and Etu for instance. I had not encountered such names before, so keeping up with their pronouns was somewhat enduring. The authors adapted between two separate worlds; therefore, it necessitates a reader’s full attention and ingenuity to flow with the narrative as it advances.
This work seems to be exceptionally well-edited since I did not detect a single grammatical error. There were instances of profanities but no erotic scenes. However, there are a few illustrations of macabre and battle scenes. Consequently, this novella would be inappropriate for children. This masterpiece does not deserve anything less than the optimum rating. The enthralling plot absorbed me from the start and had me glued to my seat until the end. As a result, I rate it 4 out of 4 stars. I recommend this book to audiences with a science-fiction and fantasy liking.
