Review of Message From Inner Space:When Earth Has Had Enough
Are you interested in reading science fiction that provides a fresh and novel perspective on our Earth? Would you love to read a narrative that gives a new meaning to pollution and environmental issues? Are you an environmentalist at heart who cares about the Earth? Then, Message From Inner Space: When Earth Has Had Enough by John Landrine is a perfect choice for you.
The story's protagonist is Dr. Hope Leanders, who holds a Ph.D. in physics and works at SETI. Her ultimate dream is to hear a signal from space confirming the existence of extraterrestrials. One day, while listening to the sounds of deep space with her friend and colleague, John Richards, she gets the surprise of her life when they hear a mysterious thumping noise, like a drumroll. Utterly shocked, they investigate it further to discover that the signal actually originates from deep underground on Earth, travels into space, hits a comet, and comes back to Earth. A team of scientists locates the signal's origin, a small ranch 14 kilometers west of Karbala, Iraq. Interestingly, the area is known as the cradle of civilization. When they use ground-penetrating radar to search underneath that area, they find nothing artificial, like a machine, that could generate a signal. This leads them to conclude that the natural rocks under the earth vibrate and move to create some sort of mysterious signals. While this finding puzzles them, another discovery increases their confusion. They realize that the signal is not just banging noise, but similar to ancient Morse code, it appears to convey some message. Upon translating the code, which looks like an ancient version of the Tamil language, they are left stunned. The message says that the messenger is Earth and asks whether the message can be received. They struggle to believe it, but when they devise a method to reply, the Earth responds. But this implausible communication, which starts with awe, soon turns into pure horror when Earth delivers a haunting message. This causes widespread panic and chaos across the entire world. To learn more about Earth's message and the tumult it creates in our world, grab a copy and start reading!
First, when I saw the book cover and title, I thought it was a non-fiction book related to Earth and environmental issues. Both the cover and title attracted me, and then when I read the blurb, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the book was a sci-fi thriller. I immediately picked up the book and started reading. I have to say I was thoroughly satisfied with the reading experience. The pacing was perfect, and I didn't get bored at any point. The flow of the story felt natural, and I was immersed in the book right from the gripping prologue. The action scenes were engaging, and it was intriguing to read about the various scientific explanations, like gravity, ozone, rotation, revolution, etc. As a Tamilian, I was fascinated to see Earth's first communication presented in the Tamil language. It felt refreshing to note that many of the important characters were female. I strongly believe that this book has all the elements for a great movie, and I would love to see it adapted for the big screen. Also, I felt that the book's ending sets up a premise for a sequel, and I genuinely hope that the author writes one.
While reading, I noticed a few errors. So, I believe the book needs another round of editing. But except for that fact, I loved everything in this book. As I felt the errors were not that distracting, they didn't warrant a star deduction. So, I rate the book 5 out of 5 stars.
As someone who cherishes and respects nature, this book resonated with me deeply. It serves as a true wake-up call to all humans, and I sincerely hope that we take the message to our hearts and treat Earth with love, care, and respect. Readers who love science fiction would surely appreciate this fresh perspective. Environmentalists and anyone who feels a deep connection with our planet would find this book meaningful. Also, readers who love action thrillers would enjoy this page-turner. The author shares a deep and thoughtful message through this book, and I hope that it reaches a wide audience and changes the way we see our planet Earth.

Thanks for reading my review!Onyemuwa-dave wrote: ↑Yesterday, 01:34 The concept of Earth sending a Morse code-like signal from deep underground, particularly in ancient Tamil, is wonderfully unique and clearly hooked you from the start. Your appreciation for the gripping prologue, perfect pacing, and engaging action scenes truly highlights the novel's strength as a sci-fi thriller. It's also great that you noted the strong female characters and its potential for a big-screen adaptation. Awesome review.

The book also mentions about the Contact movie and the Jodie Foster character! I am sure you will love this book, Seetha! Thanks for your kind words!Seetha E wrote: ↑Yesterday, 23:04 Already having answered yes to your questions, the Tamil connection seals it for me. Also, reminds me of the Jodie Foster movie- Contact. She plays a SETI scientist who is seen investigating the contact attempt from space. I have added this one to my reading list, too. I hope to get a chance to read and review this one. Stunning review as always! Thank you Priya!

Thanks a lot, Elizabeth! I believe this book resonates with your thoughts!Elizabeth-Tush4Christ wrote: ↑Yesterday, 23:40 I think everyone should be an environmentalist. It is beyond belief that if you live in the world, you should care for it just like you would your personal space. This book is promising with all the characters and suspense. I look forward to it. Also, I want to know what message caused so much panic. Thanks for your outstanding use of words to describe this book, which makes it even more worth looking forward to.
