Solaris Seethes by Janet McNulty is an epic space adventure that is reminiscent of stories like Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and perhaps even a bit of Battlestar Galactica. The story is centered on Rynah, a female from the planet Lanyr that is forced to delve into the ancient myths of her people in order to save her planet. Her grandfather was known for his belief in the ancient myths and he built Solaris, a highly-intelligent AI system living in the walls of an old spaceship, created to help with the adventure. Solaris Seethes quickly turns into a space adventure when Solaris summons four Earthlings, all from different time periods to the ship to help Rynah on her quest. The crew travels through space in search of six ancient crystals to save Lanyr, and an epic journey ensues! They encounter space pirates, man-eating plants, and several other surprises that all promise imminent doom for the crew. …show more content…
McNulty did a nice job creating attention-grabbing. What I mostly liked was how all four of the humans that come to Solaris are from different time periods on Earth. You have a man that lives in B.C. times, a Viking warrior, a teenage girl from 2014, and an inventor from 2080. This certainly made the book more unique and adds some depth to the story. In addition, the “character” Solaris adds a comedic undertone to a somewhat serious book. Solaris is downright sassy, and although she is simply an AI system, she seems to have thoughts, feelings, and intuition; the same as any
This is, without a doubt, the best book in the series, however, it would not be so without all the characters’ journeys and growth in the previous books. I have always related most to Renna’s quiet introvertedness and her hesitancy to take leadership. Interestingly enough, since beginning this series a few years ago, I have found myself in more and more situations at work in which I have needed to take more of a leadership role. In this way, I feel as if Renna and I have grown together, and I have enjoyed cheering on my fellow introvert as we both learned to come out of our shells. Leith has grown throughout the series as well, and it was satisfying to watch him relax a little bit and begin to enjoy his life. Granted, he is still recovering from his injuries and keeping an eye out for enemies, but he seems to finally accept the gift he has been given in a second chance and a relationship with Renna. This adds a whole new dynamic to his character when we see him fight to protect his family. Then there was Martyn. His story was my favorite in this book. I liked his gruff, grumpy nature and how his inner softness emerged in spite of his reluctance to show he cares. He has some serious trust issues, for valid reasons, but once he decides to commit to something he is fully invested. His character development was tremendously satisfying
He chooses a common morale, “Courage can overcome anything,” and made an adventure packed story out of it. My favorite character is mainly Max and Iggy. This is because they set a good example, particularly Iggy, who shows that impaired individuals are able to do more than you might suspect. Iggy is visually impaired, which blocks him from doing many things, but he overcame that. He broke down boundaries and does what he wants. He is strong and wiser than many in the group. Like Iggy, Max is an example to allot of people. One case she demonstrates that young ladies can do whatever they need. Even though she is a young lady, she is the group leader. She additionally demonstrates the qualities of never surrendering. By watching their activities closely readers can learn numerous lessons. I would recommend this book because it is full of adventure and does not bore you easily. Many times the book continuously surprises and relieves you. He book is also humorous but if I would recommend it, it would be for outgoing people. The Angel Experiment is the most intriguing book I’ve read, combining science-fiction and
I think that the author included Parker in the story because it was a great way to show that these people were actually people and that they had emotions, they cared for others, and someone from a European descent found them to be better than ‘civilized’ society. However, there were also many instances of them being truly terrible to some people specially to older women (Gwynne, 106). Parker was also the mother of “the last chief of Comanches”, Quanah. She eventually married and had children with an Indian reported in a paper that surprised many people (Gwynne, 116). This is why when she was finally found by her brother she did not want to leave her family (Gwynne, 126). However eventually Parker was taken back to her white family with her daughter, and they both eventually died; Quanah
Hope. Hope is something we all need. Hope is the one thing that was kept Amair. If Amair didn’t keep hope in her heart she would have passed away like her friend Tirza from her village. (Chapter 3 page 19-20) Copper Sun is the title of the book the author is Sharon M. Draper, she wrote this book in historical fiction. Its historical fiction because the facts and information are historical but the characters are not real people. This book teaches so many different lessons at a time. About having hope, slavery, freedom. Hope is everything in this book, it’s what keeps people alive in this book and when people in the real world with horrible problems when they have hope they can survive and in most cases they do. Here is a story that can make you and everyone and everything so much better.
The plot was uncertain at times but overall was detailed enough to present the over all struggle of one mans' journey through the cosmos. The transitions from one chapter to the next were very well organized. Through many weeks passes in the book, it seamed to flow into one seamless efficiently written story.
I also recommend you to read Princess of the Swarm written by Howling Din, it's primary character: Saraslha is more adorable than you imagined.
Thought Cosmos was adventures she was no hero or at least she thought she wasn't. The call for hero came to Cosmos when her plant was destroyed by eclypsia a evil ruler who destroyed thing that got in her way and Cosmos plant seem to be one of them. Cosmos was able to escape on a spacecraft with the help of her mom and Venus, unfortunately her mother didn't make it in time and was left behind.
The book turned out to be far more fascinating than I initially gave it credit for and even has a very unique magic system that comes with dire consequences whenever it is abused. As a writer myself, I loved seeing the plethora of new ideas, or at least new to me, presented in this book and I really look forward to reading Duyvis's other books.
The game’s story centers on Tina’s plight to save her people from the threat of a looming extinction event brought on by her planet’s lack of resources. This crisis compels her to venture into space searching for new potential planets to which they might migrate and colonize for their survival.
The author's style kept me engaged during the whole book, other than the first few chapters. The writing structure was perplexing at first, being written from the third person until the story started being told from the protagonist’s perspective. Other than that, Joss Stirling had great writing structure and a brilliant, yet slightly cliché storyline. Joss’s style of writing and vivid details made the book very imaginable and easy to picture. What I admire about Stirling is how she was able to make such a fictional book seem so realistic to the point that it even made me question if telepathy and mind reading could possibly exist. I’ve never read a book that encompassed paranormal phenomena, and this book definitely exceeded my expectations

First off I had issues getting into the book at the beginning, but after I made it past the first few chapters I started to like the book a lot. For example, what helped me was when Wade was talking to Mrs. G. This helped me realize that the book isn’t just a masculine story for guys to feel that video games are life. It made me see how much he cared for more than just that game and his traumatic present made me what to keep on reading the novel. The novel actually put reality in perspective for me. It showed me how if we move to far forward in our society with all these technical advances that we could lose the world, as we know it. Everyone on our planet could just become lazy, unproductive, versions of our own selves that do nothing to actually fix our planet. Ernest Cline knew how to pick the perfect ways for each person to understand what
The book, Lost Stars, takes place long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away (1). Although it may take place in the past, the Galactic Empire and its subjects possess technology that exist only in the imagination of man as of now. To be more specific, the book takes place in a futuristic galaxy ruled by an Empire. The Empire is a cruel entity, one that is very evil. The story occurs during the course of many years, stretching from Kyrell and Ree’s childhood and well into their adult years. The story takes place in many different locations, the first of which is the planet of Jelucan. Jelucan is a planet in the Outer Rim that had recently came into control of the Empire as of the beginning of the story. It is Kyrell and Ree’s planet of origin,
October 2012’s Hurricane Sandy shock America by submerging cities underwater, leaving about 149 people dead, over thousands of people homeless, and millions of people without power.(Lignier & Moore, 2015; Sharp & Reference, 2012). Storms like these are predicted to occur every 700 years according to National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).(Lignier & Moore, 2015)
Throughout life I have had many memorable events. The memorable times in my life vary from being the worst times in my life and some being the best, either way they have become milestones that will be remembered forever. The best day of my life was definitely the day that I received my drivers' license. This day is one of the most memorable because of the feelings I had when I received it, the opportunities that were opened up for me and the long lasting benefits that I received from it that still exist today.
