Book Reviews of Behind the Sun
Book Review: An engrossing page turner!
Summary: 5 Stars
Behind the Sun is a great read. Sci-fi, history, mythology, psychology, religion and action - this book pushed all the right buttons for me. Sue Neilsen effortlessly combines Stargate-eque action with the kind of old school sci-fi that explores what it means to be human.
The story is set in the not too distant future where, despite some technology advances, security is tight, terrorism is still a threat and the UN is still ineffectual. An international exploration is sent to the newly discovered Earth 2 to investigate it's suitability for habitation - yup, Earth 1 is still just as polluted and over crowded. And that's all I' can say plot wise without spoilers.
Even at close to 600 pages this was an effortless read. The plot twists and action kept me turning the pages way past bedtime night after night as the exploration team faced sabotage and psychological bombshells. The conclusion of Behind the Sun is really only the beginning; Sue's characters have a whole new world to explore and I'm looking forward to seeing a sequel soon.
Summary of Behind the Sun
Behind the Sun by Sue Nielsen follows Sally Burns and a team of elite experts when they are assigned to travel to a newly discovered planet on the opposite side of the Sun, one almost identical to Earth in mass, orbit, and size. What they encounter challenges their beliefs about Earth history, its development, and the nature of reality itself. Facing sabotage, violence, and events and creatures of mythological scope, Sally and the team are unprepared for the shattering revelations they encounter. In the end, Sally and the others find that there is a greater fate waiting for them, one more profound than Sally, or anyone, could have ever imagined. Written in masterful prose and told in the best traditions of the sci-fi action genre, Behind the Sun builds on mythological and religious traditions, science, and pure imagination to create a world like no other. Populated with compelling characters and thrilling plot lines, Sue Nielsen has written a book that will grab you by the collar and not let go.Literature & Fiction Books
