Editorial Reviews

Review

Dr. Soma Vira's book, Nikita's Shadows, is very interesting. To me, a technical writer, the world of Vira, revealed through Nikita, was splendid! I enjoyed it, while remembering an old magazine I used to read a lot, Planet. Truly a great book! Just imagine for a moment that you are in the future and that an alien pretending to be human wants to become a dictator on Earth! That's intense!

Can you even begin to imagine the changes the future would bring to the human race? No, of course not! Only Vira could describe life in the future as she does and the intrigues the human race will probably go through. Definitely this book places Vira as a modern writer, facing similar assignment on her series, Planet Keepers. Can't wait to read the next.

While there will undoubtedly be significant changes in a thousand years, there is good chance that it will be surprisingly recognizable thanks to Vira's fiction. I wouldn't be surprised if it resembles Nikita's Shadows! I believe we are living in a technological lull, a pause while science gathers the knowledge for the next great wave of change, and Vira not only project us to that fantastic realism, but she also suggests a glimpse of what the future may, or may not, store for us. An awesome book! -- Marcus Goncalves, Freelance reviewer for both SF/Fantasy magazines and Online locations such as America On Line

If you loved the old magazine-PLANET STORIES, if you love space opera, if you enjoy High Adventure, if you have a yearning for a melange of spacefaring tales, you'll find PLANET KEEPERS a spirited, charged romp. -- True Review Magazine & copy; 1995
