Echelon's End: The Last Generation

Rating:
Summary: Finally a scifi book about "real" people in the future!
Review: I've been a science fiction fan since my adolescence and through it all, the "reality" of all people in the future hasn't been addressed. E. Robert Dunn has courageously "gone where no other mainstream scifi author has gone" -- into the realm of having gay/lesbian [Echelon]characters presented in a non-erotic storyline. Book 1: Last Generation portrays the lives of all peoples in a "realistic" future where human development has reached a level where an individual's merit(s) rank their role in society and not their sexuality. Of course, this Utopia created by the Echelon caste isn't without drama, enter the Tauron -- a saurian, procreation-driven race bent on taking the Echelon's paradise by force by ambushing the colony probeship AST Saarien on its madien voyage out-System with a terra-forming settler crew. The battle begins and the survivors' ride only gets bumper and more thrilling as the pages turn! Looking forward to seeing how Book 2 handles a lot of the mysteries and situations Book 1 initiates!

Summary: You will not put it down...
Review: Robert Dunn leaves other science fiction writers in the dust with this first novel. What sets this apart from the ho-hum galactic jargon of usual sci-fi is that this thriller is truly character driven. The reader really wants to know what is happening to the people, on an emotional level, not just what death ray or explosion will occur next. This is done by Dunn's creation of a world, which is fantasy, but in some ways plausible. On that platform the reader is taken on a journey by the author that keeps you turning the page and finally hoping there is a sequel to find out what happens to our gallant space heroes.
