by Gerrit S Overeem

Overview

A dark force is circling the entire universe. Can one human accidentally brought back from the dead save the future?

50,000 AD. It feels like only yesterday that Ryan Hunt kissed his wife. But when he awakens in a strange galaxy thousands of years after his death, he discovers everyone he's ever cared about has long since turned to dust. Now resurrected by an off-world corporation, the stunned man's new beginnings almost come to an end when he's immediately targeted by a vicious bounty hunter.

Struggling to find out who wants him reverted to ashes, Ryan befriends a powerful AI as he learns he could be the target of a deadly alien plot. But unsure if he can trust the beautiful doctor he's partnered with and suffering more explosive attempts to obliterate his reborn existence, his only hope for survival might be buried deep within a mysterious artifact...

Can this long-dead nobody stop the clock on the demise of the cosmos before all living things become extinct?

The Second Life of Mr. Hunt.

I have to start out by saying that I am not a huge sci-fi fan. I always felt that sci-fi was just too far out for me and I couldn't wrap my mind around entire worlds that look nothing like the world I inhabit every day. Well, this book changed my outlook completely. I’m not going to run out and join sci-fi conventions, but I will say my attitude toward sci-fi novels has changed and this book is the reason why.

The first chapter or two set the scene, explaining how the world got to this point and I read along like a good reader, but wasn't really engaged. It’s the backstory to how we got to the current state. Okay, I get why it’s there. However, once chapter three rolled around, I was full-in. Strong character development? Check. Riveting plot? Check. Well-paced storytelling. Triple-check. I was hooked!

I don't want to give away any secrets, but not all is as it seems and you'll have to read the book to figure out who is good, who is bad, and what is really going on. It’s fast-paced and action packed. The best part is that you don’t need a spreadsheet to keep up with the list of characters as in other novels. This is what storytelling is about. An engaging story with just enough in each chapter to pull you through to the next. It's an excellent first novel and I cannot wait to read the next installment to see what happens.
