The eternal struggle between good and evil persists, often rooted in pride and a sense of superiority. Its origins trace back to the Garden of Eden, where love and self-belief emerged as potent weapons.

Set within the Star System Ackrion of the Andromeda Galaxy, this narrative raises questions about the enigmatic history of its planets, predating The Great Void. Two Jubrelians, Trax, an adept pilot, and Tammera, a historian, dare to unearth this forbidden past, a transgression punishable by death. Their discoveries unveil strategic portals connecting planets and galaxies, prompting an expedition to uncover their planet's secrets and the Period of The Great Void. Alongside them is Argon, Trax's pilot partner, who aids their escape when Tammera faces treason charges. Their only chance of survival lies in reaching the portal. Did they succeed? What mysteries await beyond? Dive into this novel to unravel the tale.

Kudos to Michael G. Moore for crafting "The Unicorn Riders of the Orb." It's a gripping and impactful narrative, rich with suspense that propels the plot towards an anticipated conclusion. The narrative's twists and turns will keep you engrossed as you eagerly flip through the pages. The language is accessible to readers of all ages, and it imparts insightful lessons. The characters are skillfully developed, and all lingering questions are addressed.

The characters are endearing, flawed, and relatable. Trax's humility and compassion make him a likable figure, and his imperfections add depth to his character. The supporting cast, including Tammera, Argon, the Gorns, and the Choredite, are meticulously fleshed out. The assembly of the team for the Hunt feels organic and well-considered, with each member compensating for the others' weaknesses, forging a cohesive unit. I enjoyed this part so much as I followed them as they tried to solve their riddles.

The book underscores the perils of disunity, vividly illustrated when UN member states struggle to trust each other upon receiving information from Mortar. Doubt and fear emerge as formidable adversaries that can sabotage success when entertained. The protagonist, Trax, drawing strength from the words of Quarrel to cast doubt on Mortar's abilities, reinforces the power of faith in the word.

While minor errors exist, they don't detract from the overall enjoyment of the book. Hence, I wholeheartedly rate it 5 out of 5 stars. The inclusion of illustrations at the book's outset aids in readers' familiarity.

I wholeheartedly recommend this book to aficionados of well-crafted science fiction. You won't be disappointed.

"Did you know, it is a common misconception in life to assume that the beautiful is good or valuable, and the ugly or plain is evil or worthless." (Page 220)

The exploration of the theme of unity and its challenges among UN member states adds a thought-provoking layer to the plot. The narrative's reflection on doubt and fear as adversaries resonates, and Trax's reliance on faith in the face of uncertainty is a powerful message. It adds a philosophical depth to the sci-fi adventure.
