Book Review: The Superlative Stream by Kerry Nietz

at
Product Description
He crossed the stars to follow a song...so where's the singer? Sandfly is free of the rules and free of Earth, but now there's a new mystery to solve. With his female companion, HardCandy, and a secret ship named DarkTrench, he travels across time and space to find the source and meaning of the transmission that changed his life. When they arrive in the Betelgeuse system, they discover something the former crew did not--a planet. On it lives a civilization of humanoids that are technologically advanced, peaceful, and mystifying. Is their meeting an occurrence the Scriptures predicted? HardCandy thinks so. Sandfly is not so sure. But what he most wants to know is why is he seeing things no one else can. And where is the song that brought them here--or its singer? Where is the Superlative Stream? 

Amazon: The Superlative Stream

After reading A Star Curiously Singing I had to get the sequel in The Darktrench Saga. The Superlative Stream is as unique and imaginative as it's predecessor while having a completely different feel to it. As Sandfly and HardCandy are searching for the source of the Superlative Stream they are transported by the  deep space exploring ship Darktrench. What and who they find is reminiscent of the classic Star Trek series as they encounter a superior race of people. Again, I don't wish to go into too much detail but once again Mr. Nietz manages to create a society filled with well developed and thought out detail which makes for a fun ride. When you add impending doom and a love story to the mix I was hard pressed to put the book down. There are many chapters of flashbacks mixed into the story as well that give you the history of HardCandy and how a woman was allowed to be a debugger. Once again faith and politics play a major role in this back story which only add to what I know will be a major factor in the sequel or sequels to come. Mr. Nietz has created such a detailed world filled with tremendous imagination that rival the world of Gene Roddenberry! This is a series you do not want to miss out on! I give The Superlative Stream a 5 out of 5 stars and look forward to see what Kerry Nietz will come up with next.

Review Copies of The G-6 Chronicles: The Unwanted Trilogy book 1

Are you a book reviewer? Do you like young adult Fantasy/Paranormal stories with a bit of Sci-fi? If you are interested and have a Kindle or e-reader please read on...

An explosion shatters the night sky….

Smoke and flames erupt over the city of Chicago. FBI Agent Nick Catlin watches helplessly as their only lead straps on a glider and leaps off a high rooftop, soaring toward Lake Michigan. They’ve lost him, again. The crime scenes always fit the same pattern—five babies are among the casualties. Fourteen months later, though, in New York, no infant bodies are found. Nick’s gut tells him the killer was somehow interrupted in his work and that he won’t stop until he tracks down those children and finishes what he started.

Oklahoma rancher Leigh Barrus is barely making ends meet when his estranged niece, Janet, shows up at his ranch with five babies in tow. The terrifying tale she tells him about genetic experiments is only the beginning of the shocking truths….

A gripping fantasy/paranormal thriller

with a twist of sci-fi for all ages
