I am a diehard Science Fiction fan, with a mild interest in sports. When looking for a short read I came across Batey Ascending and decided to give it a go.
Am I ever happy I did! Five stars across the board and a new author on my watch list.
Nico is one of the millions of humans who took up the Alien's amazing offer of refuge on their giant space ship. Earth was about to implode.
All the humans were treated equally … a space to live in, and all the basic necessities. After several years of settling in, it became apparent that entertainment was missing and thus the ancient sport of Batey was revived and re-invented to work in a no gravity environment.
Nico decided to give it a try … got hooked as was now working on "pro" status.
The competition is enhanced cyborgs and genetically modified humans.
The question is, can a ragtag group of humans even begin to compete?
This story line completes itself in this story, and leaves room for MORE! I'd love to see the MORE.
The Sci Fi Story: This honking big space ship shows up in Earth's orbit to witness its demise. The advanced technology aliens take pity on the humans and offer refuge.
They provide living accommodations, all necessities and actually allow humans access to their own technologies.
Though the world-building set up was there to support the futuristic Batey sports story, it really caught my interest.
I suspect that these aliens, who they are, where they came from and their technology could lead to the creation of a never ending series with the capability to take off in dozens of interesting directions and story lines.
I really enjoyed the story and am now waiting for MORE.
A highly recommended read.
