Hello Everyone!

I am Cheshta, and Welcome to my blog.

Today I am here with another novel for you- THE FIRST JOURNEY By Saurabh Kumar L

First, let's see what amazon has to has about this

A 140-year-old secret will throw three planets into chaos! The future is not what we expected.

The year is 2095. Voyager 1 launched in 1977 with a golden record - someone has found it and is sending a signal back to Earth. India has found her rightful place as a global superpower. With a newly constructed faster-than-light spaceship named Antariksh, and a crew which includes novices like Lt. Manisha, as well as seasoned professionals, including Commander Ryan, Captain Anara reaches the source of the signal at the nearest star to Earth - Proxima Centauri.

Before she can meet with the aliens, Anara must clear obstacles on her own ship, including a recalcitrant Artificial Intelligence and inexplicable radiation, which threatens the safety of the mission. The implications of what they find on planet Proxima B will resonate far beyond this first journey, exposing Earth to dangers on an unimaginable scale. And then Captain Anara finds out its creators buried a secret aboard Voyager 1.

Now the reviews:

The plot mainly revolves around a space probe Voyager 1 that was launched by NASA, in the year 1977. The happenings in the story take place in years ahead of present days. In the year 2095, it has been found that someone is sending signals back from the space probe. Oh god! What's that now? Are they aliens who are reverting signals back? If, yes, won't they harm the existance of people in our planet?

I liked the way plot was developed along the story. The author has revealed enough things at a time to maintain interest. Though some review mentioned "Good Mix of Star Trek and Star Wars", I think the author has created his own plot. As the author has created a space-based futuristic story, concepts of speed & interstellar understanding may look similar. But I can see author's own research, knowledge & conceptualization in originality. Though plot developed steadily, I found minor rush towards the end, Overall it was a fantastic ride.

on a short note, I didn’t find any glitches in this book and enjoyed reading till its last page and looking forward to reading its part 2.
