Halfway around the globe, Kara watches helplessly as her helicopter shuts down over a pistachio field in Turkey. When another giant limb is discovered, she quickly devises a method for unearthing the hidden pieces, convinced there is an entire body out there waiting to be found. Now a physicist, Rose leads a research team struggling to determine the hand's origins. The Themis Files is a deeply human story about a world-changing alien discovery.ġ7 years ago, a young girl named Rose fell through the ground in the Black Hills and found herself in an underground chamber filled with gleaming symbols, lying in the palm of a giant metal hand. Right now I’m not going to grab the next one and find out.Published by Penguin Books Ltd on May 16th 2016Īmazon | Book Depository | Publisher | Angus & Robertson | Booktopia I don’t know whether these focus more on the alien life-forms introduced, or go into space in any way. This is the first of a series (it may be a trilogy with several smaller novels called 0.5, 1.5, etc.) between. For me, I dislike focusing on that aspect of humanity however realistic it might be. It focused to heavily on the impact on Earth, with a cynical undertone about human’s ‘ability’ to change most things into a war of some kind. However, it didn’t quite capture the intrigue of alien existence for me. It felt well researched, particularly the scientific characters jargon, and the political realms. I enjoyed the trajectory of the story and the scrutinisation of humankind, especially when looked at from an alien perspective. I found the form interesting and the characters well-developed and thought-out, although very few of them truly likable. This novel is based around interviews with various characters working on a project to discover more about this gigantic robot, possibly left on Earth by aliens. Then, my sister and uncle were both bought it for Christmas and I knew I could easily pinch (I mean, borrow, borrooooow) one of these, so I duly did so. I was intrigued particularly as it referenced The Martian, a film I had absolutely loved. This book popped up on me Goodreads feed last year as a suggested read for me.
