“A chance discovery leads to unearthing a plot
against humankind; a plot to steal the very fabric of human creation.”
Mark is in the middle of a spate of abductions
by two different sets of extra-terrestrials. Around the same time, the U.S
military unwittingly discovers few alien vessels in Earth’s atmosphere while
testing a new technology called GAM. The knowledge of the alien vessels around
the periphery of Earth drives a team comprising of Mark, an agency called
XTRA-T and the security agencies to unearth the intentions of those aliens.
In the pursuit of truth, some bone-chilling
revelation of Earth’s history comes to the fore. Unexplained events like
Tunguska Explosion and many others are answered but nothing compares to the one
that is in store for Earth. Mark and team have to find a way out and in many
ways invoke the assistance of unexplained powers to redeem them at the time of
need.

My Review
The story of
extra-terrestrials have always excited us. The curiosity to know how they look,
act, live etc have been always debated. Neither did the demand for similar
stories die out. What we have been reading were about inhuman creatures with a
different language and dissimilar actions.
Spirit raiders is a fresh diversion to the heard about stories. ET as living
beings similar to humans with highly advanced technology which can bypass our
Radar and other devices is a fresh treatment. The book is definitely a treat to
Sci Fi lovers with abundant scientific fictional and non-fictional ideas. More
that science fiction, it could also be counted as historical fiction citing the
similarities of construction of Eiffel Tower and statue of liberty.
The relation between Anita and Mark is a breezy distraction from the hardcore
scientific atmosphere. Notwithstanding the fact that the book is a treasure of
information and fantasy, at some points the surge of information was too much that
the reader would be forced to skip pages.
The book cover is really good in quality as well as the cover design. There
were no copyright details in the book, which could be detrimental to the author
since it is easier to plagiarize the work without any copyright details.
The genre has a highly targeted readers. Those who are craving for core science
fiction stories will not be disappointed.

About the author
Savio is a resident of
Mumbai, India, who grew up on everything sci-fi. Science Fiction has its own
charm of unravelling mysteries, boldly going where no man has gone before [yeah
I know it is from Star-trek :)] and to seek and find explanations for the
unexplained. This is more or less what excites a true sci-fi enthusiast. Savio
is one of the enthusiasts too and he is presenting his own version here.
Mystery surrounds us in many ways and it is mammoth in proportion to what we
know. No one knows what lies beneath the ocean; no one knows what lies beyond
our solar system; no one knows how vast the universe is; no one knows if any
other extra-terrestrial form exists, but still the pursuit of knowing the
unknown will continue unabated and will continue to excite us. This excitement
is what Savio attempts to bring out in his books. Savio is blessed with a
supportive family and has a day job in India. Writing is his passion and he
also writes for many blogging sites. When not writing and not working, which,
of course, happens a lot of time, Savio likes to while-away and watch sci-fi
movies.
