The
disparity between the haves and have nots which exists on the massive spaceship
Eden didn’t happen overnight, it occurred over the five millenniums it has been
wandering space. It occurred because of the lack of a central entity/individual
to oversee the entire operation of for the last hope for the survival of the
human race.
Society has devolved from its
democratic state to a state where Arc and the Human Council ruled and all
dissidents got banished to a life of destitution from a realm where luxury
endures.
It’s only when the book’s main character,
the Harbinger, is found deep in the bowels of the Under where the dissidents
are forced to eke out their existence. Harbinger has no recollection of who he
is or any knowledge for/of his reason for being. But with the aid of the rebel
Leema and others, the destiny of all those aboard the Eden can be returned to
its original intention by destroying the current status quo.
While the writing could use some
tweaking, the writing itself makes for a enjoyable page turning read with the
vivid mental pictures it creates, as well as for the development of the book’s
characters. The book is one that is multi-genre which is appealing to a broader
range of potential readers; sci-fi, romance, adventure and societal life, than
a single genre of sci-fi.
With all things considered I’m happy
to give this book 4 STARS.
