Return to Earth (The Galaxy Series Book #2) by Aithal is another winner! Although it is the second book in the series it can be read as a stand alone. The author gives the reader enough background info that the reader won't get lost in the story. I adored the first story and this one was great too. Lots of action, imagination, sci/fi, honest speculation of what could happen, great plot, and wonderful characters. I was given this book to read and was not under any obligation to leave a review but I wanted to share this with everyone. Great book!
Return to Earth invites readers along on a journey home to the planet we know and love... or at least, that's what it seems like at first. But where'shome? For our main characters, they find to their puzzlement that Earth is not at all what they remember it being. But a new kind of planet brings with it a new terrain to explore, a place both strange and familiar all at the same time.
I really enjoyed the first book in the Galaxy Series and I'm happy to see that its sequel not only followed suit, but brought something completely new and original along with it. It reminded me of that documentary series Life After People in many ways, but it's not just the setting that is interesting, but also the relationship that these four characters share with each other as they discover a whole new Earth that they never imagined. This novel has a great vocabulary, exciting intensity, creativity and depth, and I think it's definitely a cut above most other sci-fi books I've read. Emotional, imaginative, unforgettable and fun to read especially if you love travel, space or history, if you're ready to see the world with new eyes then I definitely recommend Return to Earth.
This is the third book I have read by Aithal and I will always ready anything Aithal writes.
The writing is mesmerizing and has the capability to propel you into a futuristic world that will have you wondering just how possible is this world. Spoiler alert, it it. The writing is beautiful without being overly futuristic and confusing which to me is the signs of an amazing author.
I absolutely loved the first book and the world we were involved in, and when I had the chance to read the sequel I was completely stoked because I enjoyed it so much. I love how you are in space but not feeling as if you need to be an aeronautical engineer to understand what is going on. I love how the book makes you question you own reality and makes you question anything you have wondered about.
I love how this book raises awareness to humans destroying everything and depleting natural resources. This book is truly an amazing work of fiction, although I will say may not be fiction if we don't change our ways.
The characters are fully developed and you will find yourself pulled into their interactions and world from the moment you hit page one.
Read this series, it is truly one of those books that is life changing.
