From Beyond by Jasper T. Scott & Nathan HystadMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Are we alone, well the answer could be the non-human craft that is drifting through the solar system on a trajectory towards the sun. Its existence is a very closely kept secret which includes repurposing an upcoming Mars supply mission led by Commander David Bryce. The potential future of the human race is put into his and his crews hands (after signing a very one sided NDA) and along for the ride is a covert assassin known as Dark Three. Meanwhile on Earth a desperate and lethal search for evidence of a some sort of crashed object has a man known as Atlas travelling across Asia chased by killers and maybe some US military associated elements, could the Mars mission and this trail of evidence be linked...
From Beyond is from authors I've read before and while overall the novel (first in a series) entertained it lacked a little something which for me precludes reading book two. The Earth based narrative couldn't hold my interest when compared to the space based one and the second novel "Signal" looks like it will lean towards the former. This is certainly not a poor novel by any means, some good characters and like I said the space based aspect was very good, it still gets a solid mark but this series isn't for me.
