Book- Earth to Centauri: Black Hole Oblivion: One Ship. One Crew. No Escape. Author - @kumarlauthor

 

Being an enthusiastic fan of Stephen Hawking and astrophysics, I've never come across any science fiction that talks about white holes and binary stars. Anti-matter had been a topic of interest in many books ever since 'Angels and Demons' was released, but the lesser known entities in the universe were always kept in the dark (literally and figuratively). Until now.

 

'Black Hole Oblivion' is a very well researched book, and it takes some time for us to process every bit of information presented in it, due to the immense detail. The author has showcased his knowledge of the universe in a brilliantly written story, that it is almost impossible to read unless you have previous knowledge about the subject. But lucky for me, I knew a thing or two and was able to comprehend most parts, thus expanding my knowledge. I almost felt like I was reading a textbook on

astrophysics for kids ( I hope textbooks in the future are written in this format for the sake of our entertainment and knowledge).

 

The story starts in a completely different trail as compared to that of the main course, which leaves the reader surprised. At the same time, traits of leadership and companionship had been highlighted, making it a very motivating read. It's the third book in the series, but each book has a different adventure on its own, so there's no compulsion to read the series in its order.

 

I would highly recommend every science (mostly physics) fanatic to read this. It's a wonder!

 

Note to author: being a med student I'm thinking of many theories to explain how the captain lost her eye-sight. I'm waiting for your next book! (mostly because I'd go mad with the unanswered question)
