Book Review: BiAlien Trilogy, Book One

Intro:

Love transcends all galactic boundaries and conspiracies run the gamut from aliens’ attempt to attack Earth to the government’s general cover-up of most things outlandish.  A newcomer in the science fiction realm, this book will open up minds and imaginations across the spectrum, drawing readers from other genres.  Modern scientific theories about other galaxies and their dwellers are furthered by the author’s seemingly clever and deep imagination and woven into a complex tale of discovery, renewal, love, betrayal, jealousy, and conflict.  

See below for an expanded excerpt of the review by EditNY of BiAlien: Rise of the BiAlien-Sapien: Human Evolved by Vlane Carter - Book one of a trilogy. 

The action-packed first part of this trilogy begins in the mid 1990s with Jaden Marino, the protagonist, running from the government.  Having encountered a UFO near his home in upstate New York, the government is after Jaden, an ordinary teenager, in order to kill him as a precautionary measure.  

The author effectively takes us from chapter to chapter without losing momentum.  There is hardly time to take a breather, as one moment Jaden is operating the UFO, having left his family and girlfriend behind, and eluding military aircraft that are after him. Next he is in outer space, being rescued by friendly aliens while kidnapped on a rival alien planet.  There, his good alien friends find a new threat to the galaxies.  A powerful new unstoppable force is discovered.   No one has ever seen anything like it before.  

Breakthrough scientific explanations are always on hand as are vibrant descriptions and scenes. One such scene is where Jaden discovers sea alien life in an underwater ocean on Jupiter’s ice moon, Europa, unintentionally plunging into it. The impact lands him straight inside a giant alien sea monster’s stomach where he tries not to get digested.

Entertaining characters, humor-filled dialogue, and refreshing, mind-opening view points are core elements of this emerging author’s repertoire.  We are introduced to new and viable concepts in environmental protection, especially on Planet Xenos, where virtual reality takes on its truer meaning.  Gravity games and an alien chess game are better than any video game. 

The character of Jaden is well-rounded and substantial.  Jaden is not like your typical super hero seen in Hollywood movies.  We see Jaden emerge from his teenage years as a curious, smart ass into a responsible citizen of the world, or more appropriately, the galaxy.  The many bumps along his journey only serve to make him stronger, especially once he achieves super human strength.  Jaden must contend with an unknown force that has become a part of him and which has him struggling between good and evil.  Jaden’s accelerated growth into manhood and subsequent inheriting of alien “parts” are vividly illustrated, as the tiniest elements take on a life of their own.  The author pays tribute to the classics, such as Knight Rider and Star Trek, as some of their well known devices are uniquely incorporated into the storyline. 

The many characters in the story are appropriately allocated and developed.  Jaden’s girlfriend reflects the modern woman as she pursues a career and has had one broken relationship too many.  In a futuristic twist that is none too far away, his girlfriend, having given up on relationships, kept a male robot around for company.  Their “getting to know you” courtship lasted for a mere ten minutes, as the last 20 years of their lives were exchanged via high tech mind reading.
