Review: Lost Arrow: Book I of The Kalelah Series by Marshall Ross

Lost Arrow: Book I of The Kalelah Series by Marshall Ross
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Some things are best left undiscovered. 

All our ideas about humanity’s origins get twisted in this colonization story crafted will all the intrigue and layers of a nail-biting thriller. If you love Michael Crichton and Dan Brown, start this heart-pounding series.

Geologist Sarah Long makes the discovery of a lifetime. A strange ship buried in the seafloor of the Pacific Ocean. It’s impossibly big. Extremely old. And most definitely not from this planet. But neither is it alien. Or dead.

At the same time, the ship makes its own jaw-dropping discovery, and Captain Jan Argen must decide between his duty to the ship’s mission and a shocking, new reality he never expected.

Moving between characters anchored in contemporary, American life and the crew of the mysterious starship, The Kalelah Series is a fast-moving countdown toward a battle between people who have everything in common, except what they believe.

Space opera, first-contact and alien invasion fans get it all.

Joey Berlin, Executive Producer of The Critics' Choice Awards says, “Wickedly Original. Lost Arrow hits the sci-fi bullseye. I can’t wait to see the movie.”

My Review: This book really caught my attention. It was kind of slow going at parts but others were well paces. I think as a whole this three book set was out of this world and I could not put it down. An alien ship at the bottom of the deep ocean and what it is doing there...that is the mystery. I have to say that this was a very new take on the whole alien idea and one that really hit it out of the park. I again could not stop reading this one and I ended up staying up way too late to finish it!

It does take off from there. My only issue is that I didn’t feel that I received sufficient/clear background material on the “alien” viewpoint. But overall, this is a book that you become invested in until the end.

Do I Recommend this book? Yes!
