Review of Collision Course
The science fiction novel Collision Course is about planets, spacecraft, and aliens. Corporate Captain Manchez, in charge of the bulk cargo shuttle Ajax, was at the beginning of the narrative as it was about to return from an urgent delivery. He began driving quickly as he daydreamed about going on a date with his crush and felt the urge to arrive quickly, which caused the spaceship to overheat and crash. Mike is not a Misplaced-4-Planet native. Due to a medical ineligibility, he was recently grounded. He purchased the Ajax ship that crashed because he wanted to live and work on the Misplaced-4 planet, and the planet was unable to fix it. Will his business succeed in an environment where Tevil's corporation strives to undermine every business owner's efforts through onerous dues and taxes?
Other Vakkers (members of the space flight crew), Diana and Tarak, a married couple, oversee their spaceship, Prosperity. They are traveling to Misplaced-4 to sell a rock they were fortunate enough to find that contained chromium. Until they were attacked by 25 boarders with four arms and three legs who turned out to be aliens, it was the most searched rock on Misplaced-4. Diana remained on the spacecraft when Tarak was seized by the aliens. Will she succeed in selling the rock? Why are these aliens here?
This book was well-written by Alan Zimm. Indeed, the sci-fi genre is why I chose this book. Really speaking, the genre—that is, the one about space—can be challenging to grasp at first due to the vocabulary and methods of communication. Yet, with patience and focus, one might comprehend the settings. I appreciate how the book was written from a third-person perspective, and I also like how each character had a chapter to introduce themselves and what was going on in their lives at the time. There were many interesting people there, such as the employees of the Tevil Corporation, who by collecting excessive amounts of taxes made life tough for the inhabitants of their planet. Ghost is another one, a fascinating tiny child who assisted Mike in growing his company. In this book, he is my favorite character. He is incredibly intelligent. Because of this, no one could truly turn him in, despite a price being placed on his head for anyone who could. For those who come across him, he is helpful.
LaMancha, the Ajax ship Organic, was another comical figure for me. According to this story's depiction of how they function, the organic is like the ship's framework. They converse in a nearly human manner. In essence, they are highly intelligent systems that resemble cutting-edge computer systems. LaMancha's communication style is astonishing, giving the impression that he is a special organic. On page 163, when he was telling Mike that he needed children, the part that made me laugh was when he then tried to pair up Mike with a stunning professor named Ella, for whom Mike seemed to have a thing. There are far more characters with various behavioral tendencies than I could ever enumerate. That's what I admire most about the author's writing style. There was variety in the tone.
I just have a few complaints about this book. It's fairly long. Moreover, the beginning was quite confusing and dull. I wish the author had begun by describing the many planets and how they function. However, despite this, I still find the book enjoyable. I give this a score of 5 out of 5. Many mistakes were also made. Thus, a professional edited it.
I'll suggest this to readers who enjoy science fiction. It is better suited for those who have a basic understanding of how a spaceship operates. It will improve their comprehension.
