Melody:A First Contact Techno-Thriller By David Hoffer, A Book Review


 First off, I think the book should have been named Danica, because Melody is actually Danica, and I’m partial to that name. Oh well, he spelled her name with a k too. But still.

Anyway, the story was interesting. Being a Sci-Fi book, it is not beyond the realm of possibility since that has been proven time and again in other Sci-Fi books. The author's explanation of the concepts, though, was a little tougher to follow in some parts. Is it because I don’t have a totally scientific brain, or too much of one, which leads to boxing creative flow or dimming the understanding? I don’t know, but suffice it to say, I had a hard time in some parts. It just didn’t flow with ease for me.

This book has a sequel, and I was really curious to see where the second book goes until I read the blurb. Now I have to think about that for a bit. It seems like a second-time-around kind of story, and I’m not sold on that right now.

For the first book, for the reader who meets sci-fi, it was great, and for the reader who knows and is used to sci-fi, it is still good. This book kept me engaged to the end. The story answered all the questions, maybe not the way I would have written it, but I didn’t have any holes from a lacking plot. I would recommend this book for any readers who like sci-fi with twists. It was a fun read and had interesting concepts. I gave this 4 out of 5 stars.
