Review of The Keepers
After finding his son Jonas sitting in a peculiar position with his eyes rolled into his head and bruises on his body after his twelveth birthday, Bert finds himself in an odd predicament as he is confronted by government agents, who then inform him that his son has the ability to astral travel and is one of the rarest of his kind called an Ennead, a person that can travel to nine planets. But that's not all. His father has been podcasting about government conspiracies for a while now, and Bert always thought he was crazy. That was until he was taken to an underground government facility known as the PIT, where people with the same abilities as Jonas were being kept. Bert and his family must find a way to overcome the shocking revelation of their son being a keeper, deal with the possibility that an asteroid may crash and wipe out planet Earth, and find a way to escape the clutches of the government after being kidnapped. Will they escape and manage to live their lives peacefully? Will Jonas accept the terms of the government and travel to the planets they need, or will they all find themselves facing certain death should he fail? Follow Bert and Jonas on their mind-swirling adventures into the unknown and find out what becomes of them.
The Keepers, written by Michael D. Komeshak, is a mind-swirling thriller. The book revolves around astral travel, and although the story is fiction, the reader can't help but wonder if some of the actual things written in the book may be true. One such question that comes to mind is whether extraterrestrial beings really do exist. Well, that is one question that will be asked for a long time, as many agree on the possibility that life may exist out of space while others simply dispose of the idea. Well, I guess that's what The Keepers is all about; it's a novel that questions everything that we know and believe, leaving us with a mind filled with endless questions and possibilities. It's a book that will take you on a journey of a lifetime.
The book is extremely detailed, and there are a lot of scientific references within it. However, it is easy and simple to understand as the author breaks down the terms that he uses as he tells the story, which not only makes it intriguing to read but also gives an insight into the scientific world. I really loved the character of Bert and how he never stopped fighting for his son despite being put in very dangerous and frightening situations. He is what I would describe as a peacemaker, someone willing to step back and let his wife lead, but also someone who will not hesitate to step in the firing line for his family.
There was nothing to dislike about the book. It is a thrilling tale that revolves around fiction and facts, thus giving the book a realistic feel. The book was well-edited and I did not encounter any errors hence I rate the book a 5 out of 5.
The book contains profanity and vulgarity. It is a must-read for all those readers who enjoy a good sci-fi book, as it will make you feel as if you were traveling with the characters on their journey.
