Review of The War of the Cha'cict
[Following is a volunteer review of "The War of the Cha'cict" by Terrence E. Scott.]
War can be a result of serious breaches of contracts, boundaries, and integrities. It can also be a result of pettiness, misjudgments, and complete foolishness of one particular person. The Cha’cict, a superior alien race, has been waging war on humanity for an unknown reason and the human government has tried everything to secure its people to no avail. Corporal Jared is sent to the front line of his planet’s defense, having no military experience and also in grief for the death of his wife. Worse, he happens to be terminally ill and lonely, drifting every day closer and closer to the end. His salvation is unexpected. Jacob Purcell, an annoyingly rich man, uses his contacts to gain more wealth and he hides an unbelievable life-changing secret. Unsurprisingly he goes too far to keep it covered up. To understand how the Cha’cict and humans find themselves in war, read Terrence E. Scott’s The War of the Cha’cict.
This book is a scintillating mix of human character and science fiction that begs to be discovered. The book is intriguingly written, and slowly paced in the beginning but the energy picks up and one cannot help but be immersed in the events. Scott gives each of the characters an innate personality. For example, greed and harshness in Jacob Purcell merge greatly with his persona. Jared’s kindness and honesty strike gold with the audience and I could not help but root for him all the way. The book is also highly descriptive; scenes are so well described that it was easy for me to imagine the characters’ feelings, even the aliens and the events surrounding them. There is a subtle illustration of the transition from one point of view to the other, reducing any confusion when reading.
The only problems I had with the book were its length and its rather abrupt ending. It was pretty long and at the beginning, the story was rather boring. However, this was solved by the high energy added as the book continues. I tend to think the ending is rather surprising.
The book appears to be exceptionally well-edited as there were no errors present. There is a certain amount of profanity that fits the storyline of the book. I think this book is deserving of a rating of five out of five stars despite the above bottlenecks.
It is heartwarming to see that there will be another book to continue The War of the Cha’cict. I look forward to reading it. I would happily recommend this book to an audience o science fiction and adventure fans
