A Beautiful Destiny
Rating:
5 / 5
After reading "The Evolution Seed" twice, my reaction both times at the end of the story was a warm, wonderful, uplifting feeling full of hope and promise. I can't recall any other book giving me such a feeling at its completion.
Mr. Hayes cleverly brings his interesting and well-developed characters together from around the globe as they all, in one way or another, search for explanations to similar, baffling occurances. Great humor, drama, and adventure are all part of the mix as his characters criss-cross the earth in their travels toward the truth. I found myself reading quickly to see what happens next, and then re-reading to savor the ideas brought forth and to further enjoy his characters' personalities.
I have also noticed that many times since reading this novel, I have been reminded of some part of the story through real life events, and I have caught myself wondering, "What if
it is really happening? What if everything about this book is true?"
Anyone who has looked at our world's chaotic events of today with dismay and possibly fear, needs to read "The Evolution Seed". Its message is one of hope and brotherhood and the reader's greatest reward, I feel, is the warm glow of feeling that the best is yet to come despite everything that is happening in current events.
Don't miss out on this wonderful story. I highly recommend it.
The Evolution Seed - Remarkable and Unique
Rating:
5 / 5
The Evolution Seed is a remarkable and unique novel. Thought provoking, and with characters you can easily relate to. It is a real page-turner that draws the reader into a series of baffling events set upon a world stage. It can be best described as a feast for the imagination yet tempered with the hard grit of reality, and like any good meal it leaves you with a sense of genuine fulfilment at its conclusion. It is a brilliant novel, well crafted and I highly recommend it.The story occurs in today's world and centres around four plausible and fallible characters that set out to answer the riddle of a series of enigmatic events taking place globally. From one startling revelation to another they learn of a frightening scenario that will eventually destroy the fabric of human society and ultimately humanity itself. Every page left me more questions than answers and unlike many novels the answers, when they were presented, were startling. The locations are vivid as are the characters and throughout the story a thread of philosophical wisdom asks the reader to look again at the world about them. Having read this novel I would love to see the unique events and characters translated to film, I feel sure it would be breathtaking.
