"I'm not usually a sci-fi thriller enthusiast. But Kenneth G. Bennett has set this on-the-edge-of-your-seat story in the Great Pacific Northwest where I make my home. After reading EXODUS 2022, this place will never look quite the same. His best yet."- Rebecca Wells, author of Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood and other novels.
"Exodus 2022 is an extraordinary book—a wild, thrilling ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat, wondering and worrying about Joe, Ella, and an unforgettable creature named Mia, while tackling themes as big as life itself, the connection between humankind and the natural world, and the fate of the planet as we know it. Highly recommended!"- Syrie James, bestselling author of The Missing Manuscript of Jane Austen
Science Fiction On Film
My favorite sci-fi movie is “Contact”, adapted from a book by Carl Sagan—astronomer, physicist, and creator of the original Cosmos series.
“Contact”, in case you haven’t seen it, tells the story of a radio astronomer (played by Jodie Foster) who intercepts encrypted radio signals from an alien civilization. The signals contain the plans for a fantastically advanced machine—a machine that could lead to a huge forward leap in human civilization or (as the doubters believe) to annihilation.
I love the uplifting, “anything is possible” tone implicit in Contact as well as the grand mystery and intrigue of the story. Contact addresses one of the biggest questions of all: “Are we alone in the universe?” and wraps it an intelligent, engaging, inspiring story.

I liked 'Contact' too, mainly because it was incredibly difficult to follow and understand and figure out the ending :)
ReplyDeleteGreat blog post and incredibly good blog. Thank you, Fi!
Good interview and giveaway. Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteThe thing that struck me the most....as I was reading the synopsis my son-in-law popped into my mind, & I had to send him a message recommending the book before I could focus on anything else. Probably not what you are looking for, but I have never had this happen, especially w/him. I really don't know much about his reading preferences. Kind of interesting for me.....
ReplyDeleteI was actually incredibly intrigued by the synopsis. I don't usually read books like this but this sounds great! Thanks so much for sharing and recommending this book, can't wait too read it!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds great, somthing totaly different then most books, i must admit it is not somthing i normally read but it does sound great, and what stuck out at me the most, is the part the said " a edge of your seat thrill ride" that tells me right off that it is a fast paced book and probally a thriller, or some kind of suspence and i love those type of books that keep me guessing and i can't put them down!! now all i need is that kindle so i can read it on there!! lol thanks for the great giveaway and i look forward to reading the book. fingers crossed for this giveaway too always wanted one.
ReplyDeleteIt's a sci-fi thriller that will keep you on your toes till the very last page. :)
DeleteThis book sounds really interesting. I love a good thrill ride read!
ReplyDeleteMy son said the pacing is fast and that the short chapters really made him keep turning pages into the night. "Just one more chapter" and the next he knew, it was 2:30am.
