Review of Eleven Elements Book One Healing Waters
Eleven Elements: Book One: Healing Waters is science fiction and part of a series written by Robby Joshi. The book cover is eye-catching, with a striking image and bold typography.
Life in the twenty-sixth century is very different to life today. Robots play an active part in society, and an extra bedroom can be added to a house with the touch of a button. It is a well-organised, peaceful existence that comes under threat. The ruling body, the Federation of Nations, has identified an approaching catastrophe that would wipe out humanity. The only possible solution involves time travel.
Max Renner is a military commander in the Time Travellers Regiment. Time travel has happened before, but not as far back in time as the groundbreaking mission planned. Max will lead the venture, travelling back 500 years to the twenty-first century, where he and his crew must fulfil an assignment that will save humanity’s future.
The time travellers will find twenty-first-century conditions primitive. They will be able to communicate with the twenty-sixth-century command centre and will have advanced technological resources. Will they succeed in their quest, and will they ever return to their usual lives?
It is intriguing to read about life in the twenty-sixth century and the advances that have taken place. The book raises questions about significant issues concerning the future of our planet and humanity. The story is imaginative and complex. The more I read the story, the more immersed I became. Max has a Virtual Reactive Visor that lets him relive past events in full. Each time he uses the visor, the reader learns more about the story’s background. This technique works very well and enhances the main narrative. The reader moves in and out of the past without confusion.
In the twenty-sixth century, there is a twist that really took me by surprise. It involved a fascinating, cleverly formulated aspect of future life.
I didn’t think the ending was as good as the rest of the book. I found it a bit of an anticlimax. There was nothing wrong with the content; I just felt there should have been more to wrap up the story. My own preference would have been an ending which centred around Max.
Science fiction enthusiasts would enjoy this book. Readers who aren’t familiar with science fiction would also appreciate the clever and imaginative storytelling. I have deducted one star for the reason given in the paragraph above and for editing errors. The rating for this book is 4 out of 5 stars.
