Product Description

On the night of his twenty-first birthday, Alfias is contacted by a mysterious voice. The voice sets him on the path to release the secret locked up in the Abyss - on the mysterious purple planet, Kolumbas Major. He unknowingly sets in motion a chain reaction of events that will threaten the existence of life in the Universe. After escaping capture, Alfias teams up with another fugitive; Jonathon, the captain of the Triton - an alien ship. Soon Alfias is entangled in a conspiracy to overthrow the ETCA; the merciless government of the earth colonies. Will he be stopped by the ETCA's killer telepaths and mercenary black ops teams, or will the ancient Elders get to him first? Both will stop at nothing to prevent him from opening the Abyss on Kolumbas Major.

Customer Reviews

This would make a great sci-fi film!
I have just finished reading The Kolumbas Affair and had to comment. This was really a fun read. It's a science fiction story, but it contains all the elements of a great adventure as well. There is high adventure, romance, youth rites of passage, a handsome young hero, and exotic beauties. There are interesting twists throughout that keep one turning the pages. The young hero finds himself with the responsibility of "saving the world" while villains of all sorts try to stop his progress. He is chased by villains and an arch-rival through intergalactic intrigue. Trust no one! What fun. This story would make for a good sci-fi film. When the sequel is in print, I will make a point to read it.

A Great Summer Science Fiction Read
The Klumbas Affair is a good, light, summer science fiction read. The scientific extrapolations are reasonably logical extensions current scientific reality and long term scientific hopes. The alien species encountered are naturally alien but are adequately developed to make their differences understandable and meaningful to the plot lines.
The story itself contains many of the elements of ancient mythology and hero tales. Alfias, our main character starts out as many legendary heroes as a normal individual leading a regular life when something happens to set him off on a quest for some uncertain object or goal. In his case the goal is supposed to be to open the Abyss and save the universe. Along the journey the hero meets many travelers and acquires a group of companions. These companions each bring their own unique abilities, knowledge, and / or wisdom to the endeavor. Some trusted friends turn out to be enemies and some enemies turn out to bring aid at the crucial moment. The hero eventually achieves their goal and returns home to find that they themselves have changed and/or home has changed as a result of the quest or as unexpected side effects of the passage of time and changes in people and environments.

The Klumbas Affair also has elements of mystery, drama, love and romance. It is therefore a good combination of all the major genres. It flows well and is easy to read.
