New-to-me writer Christina Engela was responsible for one of the most delightful listening experiences I've had in a while.
Seeing as this book is a part of the wider ‘Quantum’ series I will be sure to check out the others. There are some parts I found to be genuinely funny while in other moments it was thought provoking. Overall I found this story enjoyable with a positive message that puts the ‘conscience over paycheck’ concept into practice. This message extends to many of the other characters who are all different in their own way questioning the concept of what an alien really is. In fact there are two transgender characters in this story. What first appears as a suggested undertone comes center stage in the latter part of the story as Cindy is revealed to be transgender something that is portrayed in a positive and modern way. Along the way we see the story from many different points of view including these aliens who (spoiler alert) fail in a sense to send said message.Ĭindy Mei Winter a former government agent is trying to put the past behind her and provides the important message this story carries. Set mostly on the planet of Deanna this holiday destination see’s the arrival of an alien spaceship helmed by the ‘Ruminarii’ a race of hostile lizard type aliens looking to send a message. The diverse array of characters range from a bounty hunter to a talking plant called ‘Fred’ who in some senses stole the show considering this ‘Arborian’ seemed to be more of a secondary character. A fun and enjoyable quirky multi-character story that carries an important message…īlack Sunrise is about a lot of different things and the author has done a great job of linking them all together by way of a story that is not only funny, it’s also strange in a good way and carries a positive message.
