Derek Goneke

Derek Goneke presents a promising science fiction novel in this first book of the Expropriation series. Rich in fantasy and mystery, follow Jonah, Trina, and their friends, along with Sergeant Rivers and Dr. Bhatt, to unravel the secrets of the universe – or in their case, Colorado. Goneke’s superb writing technique has undoubtedly given the science fiction genre a fresh and contemporary feel into it, plunging readers in a roller coaster of emotions. As Jonah learns the secrets of Colorado, he also learns that some things are worth fighting for. Thrilling and exciting with a touch of humor, drama, and twists and turns, this book will have you hold onto your seats for dear life. 

The vivid claims purported by the characters of their encounters adds to a certain spice already established in the previous book–that while the story deals with the extraordinaire, should a real-life person come face to face with an otherworldly being, a reaction as violent as withdrawals is expected. This accounts for their humanness, a trait most overlooked in sci-fi stories.  Moreover, the scale for which the story covers has expanded tremendously, with the introduction of more characters found across the globe cementing further the magnitude of their reality. Also, the growing apprehension of the government appends to a gnawing feeling that all hell is to break loose once the secret, so fervently protected by the enemy’s accomplices is finally revealed to them.
