Review of Turning Point by Jack Eason

Buy it HERE!

If you're a classic sci-fi fan, you'll love Jack Eason's Turning Point. This prequel to his epic novel, Onet's Tale (see my review here:http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/145353245) tells the story of how alien life influenced Earth's history and sparked a battle of universal proportions. 

Reminiscent of Doyle's "The Lost World", the main character, Tom, stumbles onto a hidden realm in the heart of New Zealand. Within the prehistoric surroundings, lies a very advanced alien race, the Nephile. These angelic-like beings have hidden from their mortal enemies, the Drana and their cohorts, the sleazy little Khaz, who seek to enslave anyone they can. They enlist Tom to help with their mission to overcome the impending Drana invasion. The resulting struggles occur worldwide, resulting in a catastrophic war.

Along the way, Tom falls in love with a beautiful Nephile named Auset. This development, being the romance-a-holic I am, was my favorite part of the whole story. Their love and struggles here spawn the events that lead to Onet's Tale. 

The only things I would have liked more of were some deeper characterization and dialogue. Otherwise, it was easy to be swept away into this epic and deadly story. I recommend this, and Onet's Tale, for any readers of classic sci-fi. Go grab a copy today!
