Review of The Summerland
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Summerland" by Matian Ellis.]
"The Summerland" by Matian Ellis is a captivating science fiction novel that plunges us into a world reeling from the aftermath of an alien spacecraft crashing into the Pacific Ocean on September 24, 2041. The story follows a group of scientists led by Dr. Malakai Adonis and military personnel as they navigate the challenges of understanding and harnessing this extraterrestrial technology. However, their mission is fraught with danger and political intrigue.
As they delve deeper into this complex alien ship's secrets, they encounter unexpected challenges and come face-to-face with some nine-foot giant creatures with six-fingered hands. The climax of the novel involves a daring expedition into the heart of the alien ship, where the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. The novel explores themes of global cooperation, scientific discovery, and the ethical implications of first contact.
The novel “The Summerland” is indeed a profound fiction where many big questions of human existence, future, and the issues of ethical relationships with the other forms of sentient beings, including the aliens, are addressed. This book has an ethnically diverse cast of characters, and each of them is a multifaceted person with his/her own goals and views.
Key characters include Dr. Arthur Summerland, the initial explorer whose findings set the story in motion; Dr. Malakai Adonis, who becomes the public face of the scientific community's efforts to study the alien craft and the leader of the Epimetheus Project that was backed by an international coalition; and Lieutenant Colonel Elias Ibrahim, the military leader tasked with the dangerous mission of entering the ship.
The thrilling sequences in the story are so effective that many parts of the story are quite suspenseful, making the reader wait for the next event to happen. It should be noted that the author has done a good job of integrating scientific content with the sequence of events in the story in a manner that will educate the reader while at the same time not boring them. I loved these aspects of the novel.
This novel had exceptional editing done on it. It made the decision to read this lengthy book easier. I didn't dislike anything, and for this reason I'd rate it a perfect five out of five stars. “The Summerland” is a good science fiction book that I can recommend both for followers of the good action and for fans of the philosophical reading. The fans of this genre would enjoy a good showdown of action and mystery coupled with scientific thoughts.
