More About This Book
When and Why Should Someone Read It?
This is a great read anytime, but especially for someone who is looking to start a complete series with strong characters, world building, and action. The book features a man pulled through time, forced to adapt to a new life in the future after the loss of everyone he's ever known. He has to overcome adversity and rise to the challenge to be the man the future needs him to be.
Themes, Ideas & Atmosphere
One core theme is overcoming adversity in finding himself in a new time and grueling military training. A second is a fish out of water or man out of time who sees the future for the first time, taking the reader on a journey. Other themes are finding one's place in the universe and finding a new home after losing the one you've known all your life.
If You Loved These, You'll Love This
Books like Ninefox Gambit, the Frontlines series, or the Blood On The Stars series are similar. Shows like Star Trek, The Expanse, and Battlestar Galactica are similar. They have similar themes, they span the galaxy, deal with alien races, combat, fleets of starships, and a sense of adventure and exploration.
The Story Behind the Book
I've been a life-long fan of science fiction and have professional experience in technology, giving me a strong foundation for the series. The idea I couldn't let go of was a man out of time and how he would have to adapt to the distant future with everyone he's ever known or loved long gone and having to start over.
The Central Question
The central struggle is transformation and finding one's place in the universe. The main character has to deal with loss, starting over, adjusting to his new life, military training, and the dangers of space travel.
