A Bold and Thought-Provoking Sci-Fi Adventure
This book is a remarkable blend of gripping storytelling and thought-provoking science fiction that introduces the reader to unconventional concepts and alternative scientific theories. John Selle masterfully weaves ideas such as the Electric Universe model, Birkeland currents, and challenges to the traditional gravity-centric model of the cosmos into the
narrative, making them both accessible and central to the story’s progression. These are not just passing mentions but pivotal elements that elevate the book beyond a typical sci-fi adventure, inviting readers to reconsider “settled science” in light of new possibilities.
The story begins with a unique structure as three children – Darius, Dotty, and Shaundra – delve into the history of the West family, listening to tales that unfold the story of John West, his daughters Rachel and Sarah, and the extraordinary events they are caught up in. Initially, I
found the shifts between timelines and perspectives a bit challenging to follow, but as the narrative deepens, these elements become part of the book’s strength. By Chapter 8, the pace accelerates, and I felt fully immersed in the world and its characters.
At its heart, this is a story of discovery, family tensions, and the responsibility of knowledge.
John West, a brilliant and flawed figure, is at the centre of it all – a man who challenges conventional wisdom and pays the price for it. His daughters, Rachel and Sarah, add warmth and tension as they wrestle with their father’s actions while navigating their own paths in the
unfolding drama. The family dynamics are richly portrayed, with moments of tenderness, humour, and sharp wit that bring the characters to life.
The book’s exploration of unorthodox science is exceptional. From Immanuel Velikovsky’s controversial ideas to the implications of step drives and plasma physics, these theories are seamlessly integrated into the story. Selle’s ability to present complex concepts like
Birkeland currents and Z-pinches in an engaging and understandable way is a testament to his skill as a writer. These theories are not just fascinating background details but integral to the plot’s stakes and its climactic resolution.
Humour is another unexpected gem in this story. Whether it’s the witty exchanges between characters or the situational comedy that arises amidst the tension, Selle’s writing is laced with moments that made me laugh out loud. This balance of seriousness and levity keeps the
book grounded and relatable, even as it ventures into the vast unknown of space and the mysteries of the universe.
The world-building is meticulous and immersive. From the political intrigues of Earth to the interactions with the alien Lobaline species, every scene feels vivid and purposeful. The depiction of alien technology, societal structures, and their interaction with humanity is
thought-provoking, opening doors to questions about our place in the cosmos.
As the first instalment of a trilogy, the book provides a satisfying and complete narrative while leaving plenty to anticipate in the next instalments. It’s a story that challenges your thinking while delivering an enjoyable, witty, and rewarding reading experience. For fans of
science fiction that dares to push boundaries and question orthodoxy, this book is a must read.
I can’t wait to see where the series goes from here.

The long road
Wanting to tell a story, verses committing to the idea of writing one, are two very different concepts. How long will the story be? How does one make the story entertaining enough to suck the reader in? How far down the rabbit hole of fiction will the audience allow? Is the character development lacking?
This journey has given me insight regarding my own writing skills. The need to keep a complex story, believable, and yet, resolve the plot-line without leaving a bunch of questionable gaps. “Hurrah! Finished.”
Now comes the editing. Then the realization that the entire second chapter of the first book needs to be eliminated and replaced with something better. This, in turn, forces the rewrite of all three books. Again with the editing. Now try to get someone other than yourself to read the final product and give an evaluation. Good luck with that one.
So, here we are at a point in the road where I present this bit of fiction to the masses.
I hope you enjoy the offering.
