As promised, I am reviewing one of those books today, <em>The Origin of F.O.R.C.E. <\/em>by Sam B. Miller II. This novel explores the possibility of aliens and a fictionalized initial human\/alien encounter.<\/p>\n<p>Roswell, New Mexico: July 8, 1947. It\u2019s a day which thrives in history thanks to the UFO and paranormal communities. We all know, yet also don\u2019t know, what happened that night. At first, the military told the public a weather balloon had been shot down. Since then, so many different versions of the story and theories about the event have emerged that it\u2019s hard for any single person to keep track. However, there is one theory which has stuck in the minds of Americans, some as a serious matter and others as a joke: the fallen craft was, in fact, extraterrestrial.<\/p>\n<p>Miller\u2019s <em>The Origin of F.O.R.C.E. <\/em>follows this theory for that night but with a new twist. Rather than the traditional Gray which is most often portrayed, the aliens who piloted the craft are actually a reptilian race called the Chrysallaman. Telepathic, technologically-advanced and enhanced, vicious, and dominating, the Chrysallaman could easily overthrow the human race\u2014and that\u2019s exactly what they plan to do. They aren\u2019t deterred when one of their scouts is shot down and all the crew killed by humans; in fact, it motivates the commanding officer, Hisspat Zeck, to take revenge on all mankind, if the Chrysallaman Emperor lets him live.<\/p>\n<p>Unknown to Zeck, one Chrysallaman has survived the crash: WrrNrr Zennk, the twelve-year-old son of DrrTrr Zennk, the captain of the scout. Overpowered and captured by human Major James Blunt, WrrNrr\u2014known to humans as Whatsit\u2014holds the key to forewarning the U.S. military of the impending threat and preparing Earth for invasion. With 65-70 years before the Chrysallaman Empire returns, General Matt Collier compiles a committee of experts from scientists to military personnel with the purpose of designing a defense plan for the entire planet. On one side are McPherson and Heinbaum, two extremely intelligent opposites working to reverse-engineer the Chrysallaman weapons. On the other side are James Blunt and Diane Hoffman\u2014with the help of Lucy Smith, Mike Jenson, Tom LeBlanc, and Whatsit\u2014trying to genetically modify humans to be a match for the Chyrsallaman aliens in physical combat.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_2524\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2524\" style=\"width: 301px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewritersscrapbin.com\/staging\/7882\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Force.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2524\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewritersscrapbin.com\/staging\/7882\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Force.jpg?resize=301%2C480\" alt=\"\" width=\"301\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewritersscrapbin.com\/staging\/7882\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Force.jpg?resize=188%2C300&amp;ssl=1 188w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thewritersscrapbin.com\/staging\/7882\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Force.jpg?w=217&amp;ssl=1 217w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 301px) 100vw, 301px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2524\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><br \/>\nImage retrieved from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Origin-F-O-R-C-E-Sam-Miller-II-ebook\/dp\/B010T04A2O\/ref=sr_1_2?s=digital-text&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1503735603&amp;sr=1-2\">Amazon<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>Over 459 pages, Miller exposes readers to military preparations spanning decades, starting with one generation and being passed to the next. Miller also explores the interpersonal relationships of the members of the committee and the effect that this project has on their lives, both bad and good. While everything seems to be progressing in the committee\u2019s favor, threats on two fronts emerge: the long-awaited Chrysallaman ships and, more immediately, humans who fear what they don\u2019t understand.<\/p>\n<p>Will mankind be ready once the 70 years are up? Who will stand in the way of progress? And, most importantly, how will the long-awaited battle between humans and Chrysallamans end?<\/p>\n<p>As I made clear in Friday\u2019s writing prompt, while I have an embarrassing amount of knowledge regarding the alien phenomenon, I\u2019ve never really been a fan of first-encounter science fiction. Honestly, before this book and the other novel I\u2019m currently reading, only Ray Bradbury\u2019s short story \u201cMars is Heaven!\u201d truly captured my attention. I\u2019m just not into alien invasions. Nevertheless, Miller\u2019s book brings a level of intrigue, depth, and humanity to the invasion\/first-encounter story line which I have not seen before.<\/p>\n<p>Although it is around 459 pages long, the novel is a quick read once you get started. The writing is simple and almost like a modern storyteller in its form. Sometimes the style leads to unnecessary amounts of exposition, at least as far as the plot goes, but I enjoyed having the more in-depth view of the characters which this exposition provided. It gives multiple layers to many of the characters, even the ones whom I would argue border on stereotypes and clich\u00e9s.<\/p>\n<p>Along with the quick pace, Miller presents a compelling plot. I quite enjoyed the book spanning across so many years, although I can understand how some people may not have the patience for such a long-term setting. American pop culture has become conditioned to story lines of immediate alien invasion but that trend sets unrealistic standards. The time frame Miller uses makes the scenario much more plausible, and I think that part of that foresight is due to Miller\u2019s scientific background.<\/p>\n<p>Miller heavily explains the scientific concepts behind the technological and biological advances made by the humans. Some readers may be put off by such detail, but I found Miller\u2019s writing helped me understand the \u201cscience\u201d of this \u201cscience fiction\u201d without too many holdups. In fact, I loved that the author took the time to think these aspects through and trusted that the reader can follow along. I hate when books underestimate the reader\u2019s ability to understand harder concepts.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, the explanations did lend to the excess in exposition, particularly in scientists\u2019 dialogue. It didn\u2019t bother me for the most part but, at points, the over-exposition bogs down the narrative.<\/p>\n<p>My favorite character, by far, is Whatsit. Although an alien, Whatsit is no monster. He is nothing more than a frightened kid on the defensive when Blunt finds him; once his new \u201cMaster\u201d takes command and he is exposed to more humans, Whatsit grows into a very strong, empathetic, and hilarious being capable of expressing a wide range of emotions. Whatsit, despite the tainting influence of his father, is very open-minded and brave, given his circumstances, and he becomes the constant the reader can latch onto for the entire story.<\/p>\n<p>Admittedly, I had a stronger preference for the first half of the book, but I think I\u2019m biased. I am fascinated by people who seem to wield unusual abilities, and so the search for \u201cuniques\u201d in the beginning is right up my alley. Miller also throws in a corrupt \u201cchurch mafia,\u201d as I will call it, which I found both entertaining and crucial as social commentary on mankind\u2019s fear of the unknown. Still, the second half of the book kept my attention, and even piqued my interest during the alien invasion, in which I\u2019m not typically all that interested.<\/p>\n<p>This book is both forward-thinking and classic science fiction. Unfortunately, with the \u201cclassic science fiction\u201d trait comes some pitfalls in the writing. Namely, Miller inevitably uses the over-done scene of landing in front of the White House, although he certainly makes up for the clich\u00e9 of that scene with an unexpected twist that had me laughing out loud. As I mentioned before, there are characters who seem rather stereotypical and clich\u00e9. The military generals for the Chrysallaman military have no conscience and are just evil, soulless beings. While Whatsit more than makes up for the alien clich\u00e9, I still wished I could\u2019ve had a little something I could relate to in these more \u201cevil\u201d aliens. Your Grace also comes across as a rather one-dimensional mafia-style church villain, but I think that may have been by design, both for social commentary and comedic effect.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the story there are grammatical errors, mostly in the areas of improper punctuation, a lack of punctuation, and extra\/missing quotation marks. Regardless, they did not detract from my reading experience.<\/p>\n<p>I could go on and on about this book, particularly how it could have been a series within itself and the potent parallels between the alien invasion and European colonization of the \u201cNew\u201d World. However, I will leave my review at this: Miller\u2019s <em>The Origin of F.O.R.C.E. <\/em>held my attention from start until end. I became emotionally-invested in the characters and their relationships, and I wanted to know what happened once the Chrysallamans arrived. This book has convinced me to pursue Miller\u2019s writing further, and I am looking forward to getting my hands on the second book of <em>The Origin of F.O.R.C.E. <\/em>series.<\/p>\n<p>To buy <em>The Origin of F.O.R.C.E.<\/em>, follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Origin-F-O-R-C-E-Sam-Miller-II-ebook\/dp\/B010T04A2O\/ref=sr_1_2?s=digital-text&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1503735603&amp;sr=1-2\">this Amazon link<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Know of any books I should review?
