Review by Lhammamy -- The Decision by Michael D. Komeshak
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Decision" by Michael D. Komeshak.]
When Jason and his girlfriend Sara initially heard of the aliens´ arrival to planet Earth, they didn´t know that its fate is lying within theirs, and twelve other individuals´ hands. Without their permission, they were taken from their lives, jobs, and families, to fulfill their assigned mission in determining the future of the whole world´s destiny. Regardless of the other alien science fiction books, The Decision uniquely told the story from another angle. Where the aliens came with the message of peace, offering Earth their help for sustaining. However, in order to provide their guidance, only the thirteen randomly chosen ones were allowed to decide the world´s destiny.
In a resort located in Miami, the chosen ones met for three days, where each day carried an offbeat mission for them. All three tasks were introduced to them by the aliens´ head, Micah, to detect the humankind`s most significant threats and try to fix them. With the diverse views and the tight time limit, this novel will leave you at the edge of your seat, trying to assume what choices will be made. The Decision by Michael D. Komeshak is a philosophical science fiction book that debates the humans´ capability of giving critical judgments regarding both the world and the people around them, despite their faiths, genders, ages, or backgrounds.
The intricate plot was admirable in the novel. With the set of events over only a few days, the author could remarkably provide a nail-biter story, in spite of the easily understandable narration. Reading it myself, I was dazed with the amount of information I was effortlessly digesting through the chapters of this book.
Moreover, the beautifully developed characters served as my favorite part of the book. I was perplexed with the tangled characteristics the author served in the thirteen chosen ones. Equally, he developed every single one of them with beliefs, traits, different backgrounds and motifs, priorities, and morals. Komeshak showed extra care in enriching those diverse individuals with relatively realistic views. Between them, the reader will find the raciest German ambassador, Middle Eastern Muslim, Nigerian tranquil father, and much more interesting characters to watch developing and conflicting throughout the whole book.
Although at first, the conclusion disappointed me, I totally appreciated the writer´s view about it. Without any spoiler to be made, understanding the flow, and the moral of the whole book, I eventually accepted it as the best choice being made.
Reading The Decision was a thrilling experience for me. During the whole book, I made thousands of theories and expectations. However, I couldn't yet determine what my choice would be if I was chosen. I found the book professionally edited, and there were no erotic scenes at all. However, profanity, although visible, but was not disturbing.
Overall, I gladly rate The Decision a 4 out of 4. For any science-fiction lover or philosophical debate fan, this book is yours. Also, reading and discussing this book with friends and families will be a total game-changer
