Humanity was nearly wiped out by its own curiosity. Thrust into the stars before its time, the human race now works to understand its alien counterparts, and to decipher the workings of the strange Helix gates that send ships hurtling vast distances across the universe. Zakari Sharp is a seventeen year-old genius. He lives on a corporate-owned mining facility at the edge of the solar system, with a mute alien for a guardian and brainwashed, musclebound ex-convicts for company. He's never touched the soil of a planet, or stared up at a sun-streaked sky. His father vanished when Zakari was only a child, and was never heard from again. Until now. Chased off-station by a cabal of near-mythical assassins, Zakari and his best friend Elizabet are plunged into a harrowing journey across the galaxy, a journey to find his missing father's resting place and the universe-shaking discovery that might rest with him. But the enemies at their back will stop at nothing to uncover the secret themselves, including turning a ruined man into a walking weapon with a single purpose: to kill Zakari Sharp. Can a teenage boy change the fate of the universe? Or will a nanotech-wielding killer reach him first? No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

In SONG AND SIGNAL, Author M. E. Patterson introduces the reader to a cast of characters that face death almost every minute. There’s Zakari (Zak) Sharp, a teen in search of his father and the Theseus, his father’s ship that’s been lost for years and can change everything, from humanity to the universe. Zak isn’t the only one interested in the Theseus, which means he must find it before the wrong people do. Then there’s Liz, the girl that Zak likes. She is fearless and has some pretty awesome powers. Zak and Liz face way too many obstacles to mention here, and just when they think everything is turning out for the good, another disaster occurs. Zak doesn’t know who to trust, including his grandfather who seems to have his own agenda, even if it means death for his grandson.
SONG AND SIGNAL contains some grisly (at least to me) fight scenes. There’s plenty of action for adventure lovers. The descriptions of space and the experiments on the characters are quite clear and place the reader in the setting, as if you’re there, experiencing the pain, the confusion, and the fear along with Zak, Liz, and the other characters. Will Zak find his father and the Theseus, before it’s too late? Will Liz finally care for Zak the way he cares for her? The author has written a novel that should appeal to tech type readers who like creative gadgets and unusual characters from other worlds. Twists and turns and unexpected events keep you guessing what will happen until the very end, which might surprise you too.
The author provided me with a copy of the book for my honest review.
