What makes a novel great? Some say it's the well-thought-out plot, while others say it's the interesting characters. This book has both.From the beginning to the end, I was drawn in by the adventure and energy this story brought to my mind. The Stygian Conspiracy is over 700 pages (!) so keeping our attention is a must. The author created exciting space scenes which left me turning pages very quickly! The blending of political and military knowledge was well done and intriguing. It left me questioning my own beliefs.I also loved the characters because of their great names--Gideon, Alphonse, Kabuto, Athena. All of them have great qualities that really reflect their opinions and beliefs. I was rooting for many of the characters because of their dynamic personalities. The author did a great job at keeping this story suspenseful throughout. I was very uncertain at what would happen at times.I personally love sci-fi novels. It's amazing to me how the author thought of futuristic concepts in his mind and was able to successfully make us believe the story. That is the work of a great writer. You can tell that a lot of research was done and the writing was executed perfectly. This book would be a terrific movie! Hoping someone will buy the movie rights.For those of you who have questions about the novel, I noticed on the author page there's a website for the book with a forum where you can ask questions. It's very helpful.Looking forward to reading Book 2!
