Advent

We were in no way insane. We told ourselves we would adjust and only those of weak mind would question the real. We thought this would be better. We were wrong. When the aliens came everything we thought we knew was wrong. This is the motif that runs through Michael Kamakanas refreshingly different take on alien invasion. Its not War of the Worlds or even Childhoods End. Its a far more subtle and quiet takeover which unfolds in the periphery of everyday lives. The rolling language repeats like waves on a shore carrying the reader deeper and deeper until we too feel like we have been colonized.If Stanislaw Lem and James Joyce had a love child that was more brilliant and yet more readable than either Michael Kamakana would be that child. This amazing debut novel is destined to become a science fiction classic.What readers are saying: ahead of its timeamazing glorious writingbrilliant and intriguing storytellingbest Science Fiction book Ive read this yearGreat storytelling couldnt put Advent down.Michael Kamakana is a writer to watch.
