This review is from: Pollen and the Ring of Harmony (Paperback) There are books that are enjoyable to read and carry you beyond your everyday troubles and allow you escape. There are books that shock, scare and amaze you and there are books that simply inform you. It would be difficult to place Pollen and the Ring of Harmony in any given category as there is a little bit of everything here; an offering for all who read it. This work is quite suitable for a wide range as to age groups. I loved it as an adult (a rather old one I might add), but feel that most teens would appreciate it as much as I did.The plot has been well addressed here by other reviewers so I will be brief. A being from another galaxy visits our planet to fulfill his mission which is in essence, are we as a planet, as a people, worth saving. It is quite obvious we are headed toward self destruction due to our massive destruction of our environment and our unquenchable greed. Is there something here worth saving? Eons ago two planets collided due to most of the mistakes we are making her on planet earth. A large chunk of the two planets, an asteroid, is headed in our direction and its impact will cause man and all living creatures on earth to go the way of the dinosaurs. Pollen is a carrier of The Ring of Power and can indeed save our planet if allowed and if he, Pollen, decides we are worthy. The author, Francis t. Perry Williams has given us a "Green" SiFi thriller here that is appropriate for all ages. It is filled with action and I must say, filled with much to ponder. Questions are asked in this work that needs answers; the primary one being...are we indeed worthy of being saved as a species? The author is certainly a natural story teller. He has a message and is quite capable of articulating that message through the written word. As those who read my reviews will know, I am a syntax junkie, and I admit that I was well rewarded with this work. The author has the ability to take a rather complex plot and dish it out to us in a manner that would be quite appropriate around a campfire. If you don't feel this is all that difficult to accomplish, well try it some time! The story begins instantly on the first page and the reader is then sucked in, page after page. I must admit that once I started reading this one that I found if difficult to lay down. The characters in this work, a rather rag-tag group, are all quite believable. You grow to like the good guys and grow to really dislike the bad guys. The author displays a rather deep knowledge of the environment, man, animals, plants and critters in general. The overall theme of the book is "harmony" and I certainly feel the teller of this tale has accomplished this through his writing. I suppose those that are interested in our ecology and the pathetic condition we find ourselves in at this time will be more drawn to the work than those that are not, but this is one that should be read by everyone as it has a very strong message and an important message. Now I must admit that I identified quite strongly with one of the primary characters in this wonderful novel; Reb, a rather elderly gentleman with a rather elderly dog, with very strong feelings as to what we are doing to ourselves...well, I felt like the author must have followed me around a bit and taken notes. Also, as a side note, I found the first few pages of this work absolutely fascinating. It deals with a rather underhanded land grab between a rather greedy and corrupt government and some very greedy and corrupt business people. As it would happen, this very thing is happening in our state of Missouri as I write this review. This work hit rather close to home. For something quite different, actually delightfully different, you certainly cannot go wrong with this one. I do highly recommend this work. Don Blankenship The Ozarks |
