Heroes of Earth is set in a traditional science fiction world and then blended with fantasy, making it so much more. A tale of parallel universes riddled with dragons and mechs, alien invasions and networks that fry your brain. It is a story unlike anything I have read in recent years, with political agendas, anti-Semitic prejudices, bullies and terrorists lurking around the next page. Just add a dash of classic literature and historical twists and you got yourself a full-bodied narrative of flavors.
If you like it all, meaning if you love thought-provoking, intellectual and alternative reality mash-ups then this story will probably be right up your alley.
The main characters were well-rounded and extensively developed. Berman-Gorvine created a protagonist that is at the same time the antagonist in many ways. A highly complicated character that you at one time feel for and at the other end want to imprison. A masterful character creation that I haven’t seen in a long time.
A new author for me (though not new to many others), Berman-Gorvine is a solid writer, a strong storyteller and owner of an extremely original and creative mind.
However, having offered sincere praise for this story, it was a bit concept heavy and offered me a somewhat unsatisfying ending. Being a YA novel, I personally prefer something a little more uplifting, not that it was exactly sad, just not quite what I needed/wanted as a reader. But that is just a personal reading style preference. Regardless of these minor quibbles, it was an excellent story and I know that many readers will enjoy it.
