Arboretum by Ian Miller – Book Review
This book builds layers of mystery on one another like a cake. It begins with the introduction of a strange ability. Our hero can visualise other places and then step into them – crossing vast distances. This in itself is a cool sci-fi concept. This is then built upon as he decides to search for a planet outside our solar system and steps across interstellar space onto an alien world.
What he finds there challenges many of his assumptions and his worldview. The people he meets are equally shaken by him.
The story is very much written out of a Christian worldview, but in a subtle way that may not even be noticeable to a general market reader. It explores some theological ideas in much the same way that I understand C.S. Lewis’s Space Trilogy does. This exploration is not complete, but will undoubtedly continue through the series.
Arboretum reads very much like the first act of a trilogy. You’ll be wanting to move straight into book 2, which is exactly what I plan to do today.

The Baggage Handler by David Rawlings – Book Review
The Baggage Handler by David Rawlings
Three people from different walks of life, all dealing with difficult situations, pick up the wrong suitcase at the airport. When they call baggage services they are directed to a mysterious building with long empty hallways. There they are met by a figure who calls himself The Baggage Handler. He knows things about them. Things he shouldn’t know. He wants to help them deal with their baggage, but will each of them be willing to listen?
This was a great character-driven exploration of some of the things that hold us back in life. It is thought-provoking as well as entertaining. Rawlings’ characters drew me in and made me feel for them.
The conclusion of the book leaves the reader with a variety of emotions. A great story for readers who like to delve into characters and themes.
