A Senseless Act of Beauty

De: John B. Rosenman

Narrado por: B. J. Harrison

Aaron Okonkwo, a Nigerian scientist, travels with a crew in the 24th century to evaluate Viridis, which proves to be a beautiful and fabulous world. There, Aaron discovers a strange, alien species and amazing machines and technology left in a vast underground complex by a mysterious race called the Creators.

Aaron soon falls under the irresistible, seductive spell of Nightsong, a green alien female with ominous and bewitching powers. However, an even greater danger rises. He will be forced to fight for the planet's survival against a ruthless invasion by a fleet of ships seeking to conquer and enslave the planet just as Africa itself was once enslaved. Aaron knows it's a senseless act of beauty to try to reclaim his ancient warrior heritage and fight back against such overwhelming odds, but he also knows he must try.

Wow this was crazy

This book was everything in one.
I started out hating the main characters for going back and forth about what was going on with him, but figuring out the big mystery was a definitely a pump the breaks moment, I Wish it was a series.

Good Sci-Fi, Great Ending, Excellent Narration

This was an Emotional Roller Coaster, going from Fear, Anger and Confusion to Love, Acceptance and Understanding. (and going back and forth)

In my opinion there was nothing Romantic about this book. This is not a good or a bad thing, I'ts just that I was expecting Romance and had to readjust my expectations/ view of the book once I realized this.
This is pure Sci-Fi with a lot of Mystery/ Questions.
I liked that in the beginning it all seemed very Strange, Alien and a bit Absurd, but in the end almost everything makes sense and falls into place.

It starts out really strong with a traumatic experience from Aaron's childhood.
This experience is part of the man he becomes and plays a role how things unfold/ how he looks at the Alien planet and it's inhabitants.
I also liked that the ancestry, history and stories of Aaron's people play's a big part.
The way the title of the book ties into the story is beautiful.
I really enjoyed listening to this Audio Book!

The narration is really excellent. Very professional and enjoyable.
