The Keepers by Michael D. Komeshak is a work of science fiction suspense involving Jonas, a child who can project outside of his body and experience otherworldly life. Together with his family they are locked inside Zone 55, a secret Keepers research center whose knowledge of space travel and breathing in alien worlds is being studied. Seeking escape from a government betrayed, Bert and Abby stumble across the leader of Wikvaya and then are taken to Sipapu, a lush world. 

Chief and Ms. Daniele, the ones leading this government project, have secret misgivings against the inhuman practices of the government. The story moves on with a great climax, leaving you wondering what in the world happened to Jonas and the government project. I recommend this book to fans of speculative fiction, and I believe those interested in stories that consider the consequences of government overreach will find this book to their liking. 

The storytelling is done expertly, showing a complex tale with an intelligent narrative and emotional tone. The storyline is a roller-coaster of activities, with so many surprises. The characters are well developed, especially Jonas whose journey is so amazing yet filled with danger and the fact that the mother and father were ever willing to assist him in the journey was also very touching as well. With that said, it's also a book for readers who like a clean story without graphic content.

Generally, there’s nothing to dislike about the book, as the book is smooth and without interruption when reading because of the good formatting and editing. Also, the book has well-structured tenses and language use, leaving no room for grammar errors. This book reveals the great effects of government operation and how it can affect families like that of the Torin family, whose son, Jonas, has the miraculous gift of being able to astrally project himself to other worlds. This gift throws him and his family into a world of retribution where Jonas's gift is a commodity and, at the same time, his curse.

I rated this book 5 out of 5 stars due to its strong points that include interesting characters and the author's narrative skill. The characters are well-developed, and the story is suitable for readers who prefer a clean story without graphic content. The book reveals the effects of government operations on families like the Torin family, where Jonas's gift is both a commodity and a curse.
