One of the most debated topics on our modern world has to be the question of life beyond our world. Extraterrestrial life from other worlds in our Universe, (or other Universes for some believers) is something we’ve been searching for over the last century or longer, and the topic has become a subject of conversation in most circles; from talks of the implications alien life has on major world religions, to the concept of alien life being intelligent versus simple single-celled organisms. As Buzz Aldrin has said, “There may be aliens in our Milky Way galaxy, and there are billions of other galaxies. The probability is almost certain that there is life somewhere in space.”
In author Nina Hann’s Relentless Alien Eyes, the author explores alien life through a unique lens: romance. As a young man named Byron begins trying to court a young woman named Margaux, an encounter with a bright light in the sky separates them. Years later the two reconnect, but the trauma and memories of the experience they had make it difficult to rekindle their love. Yet as they finally grow closer, secrets of their past begin to come to the surface, changing their lives forever.
The author did such an incredible way of finding a unique and original balance of genres between the heavy sci-fi and intense romance which the narrative takes on. The way the author not only balances these genres but finds a way of making them so integral to the fabric of the character’s storylines, both separate and together, is amazing to watch unfold. The emotional depth of these two star-crossed lovers’ journey as they find one another and then are both torn apart from one another by destiny, fate, or intervening hands of the Universe really added a layer of intrigue and engagement to the narrative.
This is definitely a story meant for those who enjoy science fiction and fantasy reads, as well as passionate and heated romance, while also incorporating elements of the paranormal/supernatural and metaphysical studies overall. As a fan of these topics and as someone who is always drawn to romantic storylines in other genres, I was drawn into this storyline deeply and made for an entertaining time.
A masterful, detailed, and emotionally-investing read, author Nina Hann’s Relentless Alien Eyes is a truly one of a kind read that is not to be missed. The seamless incorporation of deep-seated mythology, looks into classic and iconic alien abduction and high strangeness studies, and the emotional impact these instances can have on people were all so well illustrated in this narrative. Add to that a true case study of star-crossed lovers that shows how time and time again these two were ripped out of each other’s lives, and yet still managed to find their way back to each other, making this a story and romance readers could really get behind.
