I love that the author used a great writing style to pen down a gripping and page-turning narrative. However, I am not usually drawn to sci-fi and fantasy, though I have read some. So, I am not sure I will read the book, but I might give it a try. Congratulations on being the BOTD

The portrayal of the protagonist's character as John, who has the unique ability to transcend the boundaries of space with different Avatars while sleeping on Earth, seems fabulous.

I can't imagine being born on 9 different planets and exist in all of them. It's a weird thing but this story makes the whole book sound interesting. Congratulations on making a book of the day.

"The Keepers" by Michael D.Komeshak is a very relatable book that applies to this day. I am held spell bound by the unique ability of Jonas to navigate more than one planet and the intervention of the government for experimentation is reflective of our societies reaction to gifted people. I look forward to other books from the author.

Existing in eight planets?! I wonder how Jonas discovered that he existed in the planets and his reaction. The fear of losing their son must be hard. This is my first time hearing about a plot like this. Thank you for the good review. Can't wait to read the book.

Having been conceived during a full moon, Jonas is gifted with a unique ability to exist on eight different planets. He dream treks to different planets and experiences their culture. However, his secret fell into government ears, and they decided to experiment. The author’s attention to detail paints a vivid picture of the story.

In The Keepers, Komeshak's vivid prose and intriguing premise of dream trekking across planets create a gripping narrative. The emotional depth of the characters enhances the story.

I like that this book's character was three dimensional as it explores the story of Jonas, a 12 year boy with a supernatural gift. Thanks for the review.

Thank you for your insightful review of The Keepers by Michael D. Komeshak. Your analysis highlights the imaginative depth of the story, particularly the fascinating concept of "dream trekking," which truly sets this narrative apart from traditional space exploration tales. The emotional complexity surrounding Jonas and his family’s struggle is clearly a strength of the novel, making it more than just a science fiction adventure. I appreciate your mention of the vivid writing style and attention to detail, as they seem to enhance the immersive quality of the book. While the complexity of the scientific explanations may be challenging for some, it’s clear that the book’s strengths in character development and storytelling outweigh any potential drawbacks. Your recommendation makes this book sound like a must-read for fans of speculative fiction!

Being able to exist in duplicates and in different planets is definitely an intriguing plotline. It's unfortunate that the government took Jonas and his family aware for experimentation. I'll read this book.

The ability to "experience the different cultures and realities" is the main feature that makes Sci-fi/Fantasy my favorite genre. Even though they aren't real and limited just by the imagination of the author, the opportunities are vast, and I will never be ungrateful to reject the generous gift of new awesome adventure that Jonas's unique abilities represent. Thanks a lot and congratulations!

This seems like an interesting science fiction. The idea of 'dream treks' is fascinating. I liked that the reviewer has clearly mentioned about complex scientific details of the book. Science fiction lovers will surely love "The Keepers" by Michael D. Komeshak.
