1.0 out of 5 stars
This book is terrible,
By George "Book Masochist" (Des Moines, IA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zohra: The Planet of Truth and Knowledge (Paperback)
I've never read such a horrible novel in my life. Not only is it published by 1st Books, a vanity publisher, but it's chock full of grammatical errors. Obviously, this book wasn't cleaned by a copy editor (or any editor for that matter). The plot is nonsensical, cliché and just plain eye rolling. What's the crappiest science fiction plot you could envision? That's right, alien abduction! And guess what the big climax is...

Horrible - and all of the "good" reviews on this book are fakes,
This review is from: Zohra: The Planet of Truth and Knowledge (Paperback)
You may have noticed that there are several high star reviews on this book. Surprise, surprise, that when you check out the reviewers, you find that this book is the only book they ever reviewed. They are obviously fake reviews set up by the author himself.
Shame on you Palazzo. Your book could have been 100 times better if it were written by a monkey. a blind monkey, on crack.

Power and Technology,
This review is from: Zohra: The Planet of Truth and Knowledge (Paperback)
The theme of this delightful novel is how technology is a subordinate to the notion of power. Zohrans, a species loosely based on the ants, have roamed the galaxy with their hyper-transport to seek exotic items in order to seduce the only female of their species, which makes her an all powerful Queen. The question raised in this novel is what happens when the humans come into contact with such a powerful technology. Palazzo offers different scenarios in Zohra: the Planet of Truth and Knowledge. The young Simon Lee buries the black box in a wooded area because he fears its potency. Adam Brook when in its possession uses it to secure his financial future and builds an international reputation with his fountain-of-youth concoction. An older Simon Lee is tempted again by the power of the black box but succumbs to it only temporarily. And when he renounces that power, he echoes a familiar voice with his cry of `he could have been somebody'. Palazzo only flirts with the idea of power and religion with Helen who resorts to prayers as a means to give herself hope and courage in her attempt to escape from her abduction. This is the most unsatisfying part of the novel. On the whole the novel would have benefited had it gone thorough a clean editing from a major publishing company. But this is a worthwhile attempt from a thinker who has shown a grasp of what the notion of power is all about. See the author's page on string of ideas.
