An alien civilization, observing our planet for thousands of years, has chosen one individual to make its initial contact with the human race. Maybe they chose the wrong human. Th FI is a written narrative backed up with links to video to take you further into the drama and interaction of its unforgettable characters. As a favor to her aunt, Alice drives into Arizona's stark and bleak Sonoran Desert to check up on her cousin who has mysteriously left his job as a chemical engineer in Houston and has moved onto the family's abandoned jojoba farm. No one has hear from in in six months. Alice hasn't seen her cousin in years. She recalls the egotistical socially dysfunctional boy that tormented her throughout her childhood. When she meets him again she finds that not much has changed about his unpleasant personality, but when he begs her to return to videotape a message he desperately needs to share with the world, Alice must make a fateful choice that will affect the rest of her life. First, I will start by noting that I did not receive any compensation for this honest review. As the description above states, this book was unlike any other that I have read before in that it had QR codes that linked to videos. Reading this book reminds me why I loved doing book reviews in the first place. Sci-Fi is not my usual first pick for when I buy a book, so getting it to review was a gift. I truly enjoyed this book. The story explores the main character's interaction with an alien species. It uses the dynamics of family relationships and friendship to tell a tale. The story flows nicely and is quick to pull you in. I was a little worried at one point that there would not be enough pages left to wrap it up. Thankfully I was wrong and Paul pulled it all together smoothly and effortlessly. Paul did a great job with his debut novel and I sincerely hope to see more from him.
