Faith... Second read. I was bored.

FaithFaith by John Love
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A unique story even for science fiction. It is a military science fiction story, but the way the plot goes will definitely play with your head. Many readers enjoy trying to determine in what direction the plot will go. Don't try it, (but you will if you decide). Each character who is a member of the ship "Charles Manson" is...well... insane but they are geniuses. The book promo goes like this:

==Faith. Moby Dick meets Duel in John Love's...==

No, not even close.

As for the hard science you have:

* Realistic aliens, one species are asexual they reproduce by pathogenesis. Another alien species is a herbivore and are the dominant species on a planet of carnivores.

* Unique Weapons, as mentioned in other blog summaries every author wants to distinguish themselves. The same goes for FTL drives.

Social sciences:

* Social deviants due to childhood abuse independent of their background. They are the ultimate weapon. It reminds me of my upbringing. Interesting how the government uses these individuals as their best fighters and gives them the best weapons. They are invincible.

It is one of these books one may love to hate. It starts off good and then towards the end into the philosophical La-La land. If you thought the concept of Gaia is bad, think of the Universe as a living entity. Read at the risk of being delighted or extremely disillusioned.

"Movie Review: Dune Part 1 & 2 🎬

  Spoiler Alert! Buckle up for a desert journey like no other! In the vast expanse of cinematic adaptations, Villeneuve's Dune emerges as a monumental undertaking, spanning two epic installments that delve into the rich tapestry of Frank Herbert's iconic sci-fi saga. While paying homage to the source material, these films chart their own course, offering a visually stunning and thematically resonant exploration of power, prophecy, and the human condition. Part 1: Betrayal and Escape The journey begins with Duke Leto Atreides, a nobleman entrusted with the stewardship of Arrakis, a desert planet coveted for its reserves of the spice melange—a substance essential for space travel and coveted by factions across the universe. Accompanied by his son, Paul, and Lady Jessica, a member of the secretive Bene Gesserit sisterhood, Duke Leto embarks on a perilous mission to Arrakis. However, their arrival triggers a chain of events orchestrated by the insidious House Harkonnen and the shad...

I had my Math test today...Epilepsy had other plans.

Today, I had my algebraic concept final test and I failed. Of course, my body sabotaged my efforts. This seems to be the norm with everything I do. That is when "everything I do" is extremely important and "the everything I do" maybe a life changer. Passing a math course is a life changer. So let me describe how it went today. Keep this note in mind I studied the entire weekend and the more I study things got more complicated As I wrote many times before, my neurologist and gastroenterologist have repeatedly told me that when my brain acts up my gut will too. When I take any other academic tests I usually don't get sick. I have taken all my meds and then I take life day by day. As I mentioned in previous posts on the internet maybe Facebook or G Plus, I have a few abnormalities in the brain. These abnormalities affect my behavior and my thought processes. It is not that bad but I perceive and understand things a little bit differently and that is why I may ...

Elon Musk Neuralink

Hi, my name is Tony I am a... Well you know. Actually Tony is short for Antonio. I thought if you were reading this you should know, not that anybody really cares. Anyhow, I am a ferocious reader of science-fiction. I like to read. For many years I could remember every single book that I've read. Unfortunately, I cannot do so anymore. However, if I read a science article sometimes I can associate it with a science fiction book that I have read and I like to talk about it. For example, here is the link to an article that I have recently read on the internet: http://www.theverge.com/2017/3/27/15077864/elon-musk-neuralink-brain-computer-interface-ai-cyborgs Recently I have posted a blog on a book that I read called "Psychohistorical Crisis." without getting into too many details one aspect of the book has to do with the characters. They carry a device called a familiar, or a "fam" for short. I can't recall if it was a mechanical or an organic device. Th...
