Book Review: Under The Thelian Sky

Book Review by Toni G. Sinns
Book Title: Under the Thelián Sky: Beyond the Great UnknownAuthor: Frank "The Christian Noob" OlveraAbout the Author:  After struggling for decades with faith and manic depression, Frank Olvera (b. 1971) finally decided to work on stories that remained dormant in various notebooks and disks.

He holds a degree in audio engineering and another in computer science. He has also been involved in other fields such as education and journalism. He has published several websites with information ranging from music to technologies to wrestling to religion, for which he received several awards and recognition from several entities in each of the different fields. He has also received several awards for poetry.

As a science fiction writer, he has been heavily influenced by Doctor Who (BBC, 1963-1989, 1996, 2005-present), James Bond (MGM, 1962-present), Star Wars Episode IV (20th Century Fox, 1977) and V (1980) and Star Trek (CBS Studios, 1966-1969) and TNG (1987-1994).
Growing up Catholic, he found many aspects that he did not understand or care for in Catholicism. Hence he strayed for about thirteen years.

He finally returned to the Church in the fall of 2008 choosing a Presbyterian church. Nowadays he neither considers myself Catholic anymore nor Presbyterian for that matter - just Christian.Book Description: As everyone knows, God created mankind to his image (Genesis 01:27). What
mankind does not know is that God did not create man on Earth, but rather on MARS! When Mars could not sustain life anymore, mankind had to escape the planet and colonized Earth. Many years later, a study was written about the survival of mankind in Sol Four (Mars) and its struggle in Sol Three (Earth). We proved to be a species that has survived wars, slavery and other forms of abuse -- always holding on to our faith in God.



My ReviewOverall Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. I will admit when I was first approached with the idea of this book it offset me. I am not religious. However, this book combines religion, science, and human nature and thought into a very lovely collection of stories and tales. I found that I enjoyed hearing about how human kind still holds principals so close to their heart. And it gave me hope for the future.
