Written by international Award Winner Deepak Menon, Skymerge is a
sweeping well researched novel of the opening up of Space, spanning
5 Planets including Earth, and a planet named Rukana where a major
portion of the events comprising this amazing novel occur. There
are many heroes in this book and many heroines, each unforgettable
with a unique personality distinctly different from any other
protagonist in this book, or any other in its genre. The book
begins with a shattering prologue reminiscent of medieval times on
Earth, yet relating to another Planet. The story starts with the
discovery of a Scroll and a Bracelet in a remote desert location in
Africa, found in a geological layer dated a million years ago,
before mankind manifested in its present form as a sentient
species. This seems impossible unless the artifacts are of
extraterrestrial origin. Alternating the chapters between Earth and
other Planets, the story is skillfully built into a cohesive whole,
bringing with it glimpses of different cultures, battles, and a
war, as also a very human touch of love, affection, courage and
wide ranging vision amongst the characters. Inevitably the story
builds up to "Contact" with the Aliens from the alien planet
situated Light Years away, yet the conceptualization is well
interwoven with the Laws of Physics & Nature that the reader
can not entirely discount the hard core science fiction concepts in
Skymerge, since it retains an element of plausibility albeit
miniscule, which is what this book is all about It successfully
explores the outermost boundaries of physical constraints with the
message that what may be fiction today, may be the facts of
tomorrow. Skymerge succeeds in effectively delivering a gripping
adventure story based on hardcore astrophysics and astronomy to the
layman, without straying too far into the realm of fantasy.
