Transmission (The Invasion Chronicles—Book One): A Science Fiction Thriller

It's good book, suspense, drama, twists plus a different kind of teenage love-ish flow.Packed in a well plotted Sci-fi

I brought this book while simply looking in the store.The book on its own is fine. It has a reasonably good plot and nice language to go with it. But the thing I hated most about this book is that of its lack of logic at regular intervals· During one of his seizures, Kevin finds himself in space near the Pioneer 11 satellite. He also sees the Earth, the problem is that pioneer 11 is outside the solar system so there is no way for him to see Earth· The place where Kevin lives is no where near San Francisco. So they cannot travel to NASA headquaters so quickly· The alien messages are weird ,they tell Kevin to find their capsule but later tell him to not open it as it is a trick which made them lose their planet. This implies that there are two alien races which seems to contradict what it was said earlier that it was natural fires which 'cleansed' the planetAN OVERALL GOOD READ BUT DONT LINGER TOO MUCH ON REALISM AS IT DOES NOT HAVE MUCH

Trying to copy all the invasion theory books and that too not very well!Does not stand to logic at all.

The pace of story telling falters.

I want to start with mentioning that this is definitely a book more suited towards the Young Adult category than it is Science Fiction - strictly because of the main protagonist, and how the book itself is written. The first part of this review (part one) will not give you spoilers - but the second part of this review (part two) will.Review Part One (no spoilers)This book actually starts out well! I am always intrigued when I find a new book that has already established a multi book series. That alone lets me know that it was received well enough for the story to continue! As a Science Fiction fanatic, this book isn't exactly what I thought it would be.Your protagonist is a thirteen-year-old boy that is diagnosed with a deadly disease. Like many diseases in the world, it comes with some unanticipated, and somewhat unwanted, side effects that complicate the protagonist's life at home and school.Alas, this is the point that my interest was piqued, but as more of a throwback to reading a book in middle school verses reading a book now, as a full-fledged adult. From here the story takes a stereotypical thirteen-year-old point of view: kids know better than adults.This is a thought-provoking book, and it covers some interesting topics while being quite enjoyable! It is a fast read, so you shouldn't have to denote too terribly long to it. I think that the biggest take away from this one, is that you are left with questions at the end of the first book. Not necessarily about the book itself, but more into the thought of "how would the real world react to a scenario like this, because it would not be anything like this book portrays that it would?"I give this 4 out of 5 stars because I was a little disappointed with the genre once I started it, but the book itself was still pretty good!I would recommend this book for Young Adults verses a more seasoned reader - unless you are really into Young Adult Fiction! This story will still get a four-star review because it was entertaining despite my personal issues with the story and timeline. I'm not sure if I will hop at the chance to read the rest of the series at this time. If I found the next book offered for free on the Kindle store, I might consider it.Review Part Two (spoilers)I won't recap part one of this review, so I will just hop into the review containing spoilers.I can't say enough that this really is a good little story - but it leaves a lot behind.Thirteen-year-old boy diagnosed with a deadly disease. He has hallucinations (not in his eyes) which turn into the ability to communicate with life outside of our planet. He is somehow able to get the attention of NASA after what I can consider a "sit in" in their lobby, where he had one of his hallucinations (which piqued the interest of one of the scientists, and it was off from there.) Why is a civilian child, no matter how ill, able to just walk into NASA/SETI and gain access to all of this information? It is a good thought, but outside the realm of reality just enough for it to bother me.That isn't the best start, but it isn't terrible! I became lost once this thirteen-year-old boy faces off to a Columbian soldier and wins. He has been galivanting through the jungle with an oxygen tank - and is able to stop an argument between two soldiers from different countries. It is a nice idea, but not plausible in today's society - supposedly when this book is taking place.

Once you start reading you will find it hard to put this one down. Another solid piece of literary entertainment by Rice

A great premise for a book and an excellent fast-paced story that leaves you breathless and wanting more and more.

pensavo fosse in italiano

It deserves no better.Too far fetched even for scifi.Lacks feasibility making it as unbelivable as its protagonists. True rubbish.
