Review:
The Point of Origin is centered around the Earth having been created by beings from space long ago. Humans have lost the knowledge of the beings and the ability to attain the technology. Everything is centered around the Native American tribes in the American Southwest. An archeologist has discovered the secret knowledge of the aliens who had been on Earth but before he can gain the information, he is killed by a branch of the government that is a secret task force. The task to find the truth is left to the daughter of the archeologist, Tiffany, and his lab assistant Brain before the government finds them and eliminates them too.
This book is basically about a very lengthy government conspiracy and the possibility that other life forms outside of the human race could exist. The Point of Origin was a relatively good read. The suspense was pretty good throughout most of the book. There is a good build up of heightened tension and curiosity to know more about the story. The pacing was pretty well kept, never having felt dragged out too much.
As much as there is action throughout the book, and I am an avid lover of action, the action was very mundane. The descriptions were too bland to really capture the imagination and the character development was not too good. I pretty much was annoyed at all the characters within the novel. I kept reading because of the premise of the book, the story itself, and out my sheer curiosity to know what was really happening. Some of the book was just too unbelievable to the point I had to skip whole pages.
The Point of Origin has the possibility of becoming a good novel, it just needs some good editing to polish it up. The book is also hindered by the short length, making the love stories too rushed and not developed enough, which gives the feeling the love stories are just wasting room on the pages.
For any of you government conspiracy, aliens are among us, fans, The Point of Origin may be a book you want to give a try. It’s a pretty decent read.
