No other title could be more apt than "The Revelation Chronicles" for this book which successfully amazes as the fast paced story begins unfolding with each page and keeps the reader engaged and motivated throughout. Considering this is his first novel, Eric Burney has done an admirable job.Charlie Reese, adopted and raised by a couple since childhood, is an average university student who desires to become self-dependent. One fine day his life turns upside down when Charlie, along with his best friend Freddy and his love interest Allison, gets kidnapped. His kidnappers reveal that Charlie is an alien from a planet named Etheus. As if that was not shocking enough, he is supposedly the `chosen one' who is destined to lead the war against the alien enemy Vicktor who, with his highly advanced technological weapon, is adamant to bring havoc and destroy Earth. Charlie's life becomes more challenging mentally, emotionally and physically when he discovers many more astonishing `truths' about his life and he soon realises that his troubles have just started.It is a great read with a captivating story and believable characters. The end, especially, is quite unexpectedly dramatic which leaves anxiously waiting for the next book.
