Years ago, Lisa’s father was plagued with dreams of aliens and what the future would be with them. Soon after her father passed away, the dreams begin to haunt her as well. As she grew, the dreams lessened, but their impact and meaning will remain. As a young woman, Lisa continues to struggle with emotional turmoil and it becomes evident that her unborn child will have a destiny no one could imagine. Her child will soon become the link between the human and alien races, and Lisa is granted special powers for this transition period as a way of protecting her and the child. Could this child be the future of the races as we know? Could he bridge the gap between two worlds?
The idea of aliens and a future with them living among us is one that will never grow old. We see many different versions of this idea, many different theories and stories focused on aliens, but what Lawrence Burk provides audiences is something different and all his own. He introduces his characters with flourish and makes the readers feel something for them, to relate to whatever they are dealing with. He presents the tale in a way which lures readers into the story and holds them captive until the very end. Once you begin the story you will devour the book in no time and find you have finished it within only a couple of hours.
While this book may not be that long, it is packed full of adventure, thrills, emotion and more. Burk gives his audience a tasty morsel of a story and leaves them craving more. It is hard to find an author whose storytelling skills transcend the words on the pages to resonate with the reader. Overall Burk knocked it out of the park with this novel. Everything about this story falls into place, the dialogue is realistic, the actions and reactions of the characters are similar to how readers may act in the same situations.
For anyone who enjoys a good science fiction and alien-based stories A Remarkable Curse is one that should be added to your shelf. It is the second book in the series, so be sure to pick up Burk’s first novel Alien Within as well. Both novels would make a wonderful addition to a sci-fi lover’s library. Lawrence Burk’s novel will speak to many readers of this genre and spark new theories and ideas. I am excited to see where Burk will take the series.
