Book Description

August 2, 2004
Is it mankind’s destiny to forever succumb to violence? Danar Seti asks this very question while consigned to battle the extra-dimensional being, Blackstar, over territorial rights. The Giants of Imperia have claimed the trinary star system of Alpha Centauri. Now this man of peace must struggle with his own internal conflicts while battling a monster from a race of beings who control a power that rivals the energy released during the Big Bang. But Danar is not alone, for chief scientist Tan Ozawa uses her vast knowledge to stop the duel. But does she do it for the human colony or for her growing feelings for Seti? Having overcome amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Tan is fully aware of the human struggle. With her help, Seti and Blackstar will learn that we are all more alike than not alike, and that violence is not mankind’s destiny, but humankind’s destiny to overcome it. But can they learn these lessons in time to save this branch of humanity, as well as Blackstar’s race, even though they may be demons? Demons who may be responsible for the devastation of the Earth.

This review is from: Omicron Crisis: Adventures From Alpha Centauri (Paperback)
Grew up on Captain Kirk? Then "Omicron Crisis" is the next step. I was blown away by the detail, the backstories, that make this new novel come alive! One of the best sci-fi adventures of the new millenium! Can't wait for the sequel!

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't Wait For More, January 13, 2005
This review is from: Omicron Crisis: Adventures From Alpha Centauri (Paperback)
D.L. Smith has wondrously blended science and fantasy to create a future so outrageously believable that it's hard to believe it exists only in the pages of this debut novel. Smith uses philosophy, humor and fast-paced action to embellish the notion that if we are to play a significant role in space, then like pioneers of old we'd better be worthy of it. In a war for survival comparable to anything envisioned by H.G. Wells or Gene Roddenberry, Smith creates a universe that is bright yet sinister, and filled with a humanity we've yet to imagine. This action-filled saga is a great read for sci-fi lovers, philosophers, and anyone looking for a darn good read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Omicron Crisis, January 12, 2005
This review is from: Omicron Crisis: Adventures From Alpha Centauri (Paperback)
D. L. Smith handles a complex and interracial set of characters (earthly and extraterrestrial) with great skill. I enjoyed the author's interweaving of the Imperians and the crews of the terrestrial space vehicles, and all the adventures and intrigues of the intricate plot. The resolution of the tale leaves us eagerly awaiting more.
