OldEarth Aram Encounter by A. K. Frailey is a book that you'll read and not forget in a hurry. It is the first of a series of five novels. The history is fascinating, the characters are uniquely intriguing, the plot is very rich, and the events are fascinating.

OldEarth Aram Encounter started with the migration of Aram's clan. The land they knew had become dangerous to them; they needed a new and safer place to dwell. As can be expected, everyone had their opinion of the right choice to make, but Aram did his best as a leader. Finally discovering a land to their taste, they settled down. Soon enough, other dangers came calling. They encountered their neighbors from different clans; some were good, and some were bad. They faced many battles — with their emotions, choices, each other, and enemies. All the while, supernatural beings that they were not aware of watched them. But they looked up to a supreme being to help them through life.

I've often wondered how a group of people begin to dwell in a place and call it their own. This book gave me a good picture of the answer. Living in the early ages couldn't have been easy with all the negative factors — wild animals, famine, diseases, bandits, and enemies. In today's modern world, we take a lot for granted. All the necessities of life are easily accessible to us. Here, in this book, are people who had to fight to lay hold of just food and water. Danger could come from anywhere. They were at the mercy of the elements. And it was not surprising that they looked up to a supreme being to help and save them through it all.

I couldn't help but notice the unique way the author presented the chapter titles. Above each heading was the name of the period or location of the events in that chapter. I found it as intriguing as the author's choice of fonts. Readers would never get lost navigating the content of the book.

This book is one of the best books I've read in a long while. The author crafts her words very well as she creates the characters and the events in the book. She does an excellent job of taking us into the mind of the characters. I find no fault with the writing and editing; everything is perfect. Therefore, I rate it 4 out of 4 stars.

This book has a religious undertone, as it talks about the different gods to whom different characters looked up. Someone who has no tolerance for that may not need to read this book. Besides that, I recommend it to lovers of adventure and science fiction.

It looks like there are a lot of potential dangers for Aram's clan, so the plot must be quite intense and full of adventure. I'll look into this series. Thank you for your great review!

My first thought was that I was staring at Frodo Baggins’ face when I saw this book! 😂 Well, obviously this is not the story of a Hobbit, but nevertheless, it sounds fascinating. Aram and his clan sound like a fascinating bunch of people, and it is as you say; they had to fight for their existence and that is something we as modern people know nothing about. I am curious to see what you mean by rich plot and uniquely intriguing characters, so I’ll surely add this book to my reading list!

This book seems to be an amazing adventure for Alan and his clan. However danger lock in the corner. His challenge as a leader is to guide them through all the enemies that is constantly watching them. He must fight when necessary for him, his family and the entire clan to be safe. Thanks for the review.

OldEarth Aram Encounter started with the migration of Aram's clan. The land they knew had become dangerous to them; they needed a new and safer place to dwell. As can be expected, everyone had their opinion of the right choice to make, but Aram did his best as a leader. Finally discovering a land to their taste, they settled down. Soon enough, other dangers came calling. They encountered their neighbors from different clans; some were good, and some were bad. They faced many battles — with their emotions, choices, each other, and enemies. All the while, supernatural beings that they were not aware of watched them. But they looked up to a supreme being to help them through life.

I've often wondered how a group of people begin to dwell in a place and call it their own. This book gave me a good picture of the answer.

This book is one of the best books I've read in a long while. The author crafts her words very well as she creates the characters and the events in the book. She does an excellent job of taking us into the mind of the characters. I find no fault with the writing and editing; everything is perfect. Therefore, I rate it 4 out of 4 stars.

This book has a religious undertone, as it talks about the different gods to whom different characters looked up. Someone who has no tolerance for that may not need to read this book. Besides that, I recommend it to lovers of adventure and science fiction.
