Constellation Chronicles: The Lost Civilization of Aries
by
Vincent Lowry (Goodreads Author)
A blinding fireball rips across the night sky and slams into a field in the remote town of Rigel, New Mexico. Glenn Sawyer, a broke and disillusioned 18-year-old, witnesses and investigates the crash, finding a surreal craft and an even stranger monkey-like creature named Paako, who secretly follows him home and stirs trouble. As Glenn captures Paako and attempts to return...more

Vincent Lowry has created a science fiction book that held my attention from the very start. This is a book for everyone whether they are Sci-Fi lovers or not. The main character is a young boy named Glenn. His passion is trying to figure out if there is life on other planets. Due to the dog eating the dinner he was to fix for his sister and himself he decides to take his sister out to dinner. Something goes flying past their truck and crashes. They turn around to check it out. Imagine his surpr...more
I am not and never have been a sci-fi fan, but I loved Constellation Chronicles, and I especially loved the furry little Paako. There is plenty of action, plenty of drama, and plenty of conflict. I liked the philosophical ending and felt everything was as it should be. All in all, a good read, and I'm looking forward to the next in the series!
Great book!! I had only meant to pick it up and start a few pages at first. Well that did not happen. I got so sucked in that I could not put it down! I am hoping now for the next one.
I'm not really into sci-fi books and all but this book was absolutely marvelous! The characters were well set up. So well that for most of the time I thought the Povars were actually human! That's how good it was! They were alien-like creatures but they were so convincing that they made you see past their alieness and see them as humans. The plot was okay.
What I thought was the coolest things in the book were how the Povars can freeze time with like this flash thing and how they have this progra...more

Glen Sawyer, fascinated with astronomy and science, is picked on by boys in his high school science class as a nerd, has girlfriend troubles and also carries around emotional baggage concerning the death of his mother and distancing by his father...plus, Glen has to take care of his little sister. In Glen's circle of friends, family and acquaintances, he would not be viewed as anybody's hero. That is, not until a select group of 'visitors' are convinced he is their only hope of survival. Now, th...more
The author seems to have a problem with the word "just." Every time any character said it, it was spelled jus'. Now where I live in the midwest, when people are having a conversation, the word is usually pronounced jus'. It's like going vs goin'. I think a lot of people, no matter how educated, say jus' or goin'.
HOWEVER. In a story, when I read a character saying jus' I assume the author is trying to show us they are uneducated. Sometimes words like jus' are used to show a southern accent. But...more

You know, when I first saw this title I was curious. I checked with my library and unfortunately they didn't have a copy. That was about a year ago.
So recently I was going through my TBR list and realized I still wanted to read this - the reviews were solid, the premise interesting. I've always been a sci-fi/fantasy geek but real sci-fi is getting harder and harder to find. So I splurged and I purchased the e-book and just last night decided to start reading the story.

Vincent Lowry originally wanted to use Zodiac in the title instead of Constellation. As you can guess, he's planning to write eleven more books. The Lost Civilization of Aries is thus the first book in The Constellation Chronicles.
Glenn Sawyer lives in Rigel New Mexico. He is (of course) a UFO geek with his own theories of life on other planets and extra terrestrial visits to Earth. When a ship crash lands outside the town Glenn will have his theories proved right. He will also be recruited to s...more

This book is amazing! My favorite character is Paako. This is one of those books that I want to read again and again. I can't wait to read the others!
