Arrow of Time Chronicles, Book 1: Immutable (Arrow of Time Dystopian Science Fiction Chronicles) Kindle Edition

by Karen Wiesner (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 4 ratings
When mankind realized Earth would become uninhabitable, Humans built space habitations. Their first allies arrived in 2073 and shared their technology to power ships through space corridors that fold space and time. Only 58 years into their struggle for survival, an enemy emerges. In the wake of this threat an organic menace is only beginning to be recognized, ensuring the annihilation of every living thing if, together, they can't find a way to stop it.

Spacefaring liveship, the Aero, is on a routine mission to the far-flung regions of the galaxy when they receive a distress call from their oldest space habitation outside the Sol System. The structure has been brutally attacked, inhabitants kidnapped or outright killed. The crew aboard the Aero including Astoria Bertoletti, librarian and planet cataloger, and Raze Salen, mankind's emissary, search for clues to explain the unprecedented tragedy. After several more, similar distress calls from other habitations, the savage pieces of the mystery begin to emerge--and point to the culpability of humanity's short-sightedness and desperation when they first began seeking out alternate spaces in the galaxy to call home. In the midst of the imminent threat of war, Raze and Tori present the immutable evidence of wrongdoing both intentional and inadvertent to their government as well as to their strongest and weakest allies who may have no choice but to desert them in yet another hour of dire need

    4.0 out of 5 stars Epic Space Adventure with Engaging Characters
    Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2022
    This interstellar adventure set in the twenty-second century deals cleverly with the problems of faster-than-light-travel, instantaneous communication, and relativistic time dilation by invoking alien technology gifted to Earth's refugees. We don't need to understand how it works, because the human protagonists don't understand much about it, not being astrophysicists or engineers. Tori is a librarian, and Raze is a diplomat. They're engaging characters, and their relationship as lifelong friends beginning to realize they're in love with each other is believable and relatable. The potential complication of attempted seduction by a brother-sister pair of advanced aliens is worked out in a mature, compassionate way. Tori's lack of self-confidence is believable, too, not at all carried to ridiculous extremes. I love her collection of pets. (But how does she keep a pig, even a miniature one, in her little cabin -- is he litter-box trained?) We encounter various extraterrestrial species with physical and cultural differences that make each unique but not too alien to identify with. Even the villain, whom we meet in the opening scene, has a potentially sympathetic side. This novel drops a hint, probably to be pursued later in the series, implying a reason why all those species follow the basic human body pattern.
    The narrative gracefully balances the overarching plot of interstellar warfare and diplomacy with character development and relationships. Some minor points niggled at me, e.g. while Tori may have a sentimental motive for wearing glasses, why does another character also wear such an archaic item, given the stated availability of visual correction surgery? On the whole, though, this novel is highly recommended for fans of futuristic SF with romantic elements. The conclusion leaves plenty of sequel hooks without resort to a frustrating cliffhanger ending.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Totally Invested in these Characters
    Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    Immutable was a longer than normal reads for me. So, when I got to the end, I figured I'd take a break and read another. NO WAY. By the next day, I realized I was so invested in these characters I couldn't stop.

    Wiesner has a way of drawing the reader into the lives of humans and aliens alike, presenting interesting theories of how much alike we all are in spite of physical and cultural differences. She presents them against a pulse-pounding backdrop of impending war and intergalactic destruction while human and aliens work to bring peace in spite of politics. Immutable hits all the issues peace keepers face.

    5.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 stars! A fantastic beginning to a new sci-fi series.
    Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2020
    Earth inhabitants could no longer ignore the imminent global warming crisis. All around the globe, catastrophic flooding, extreme and ferocious weather anomalies put life in jeopardy. Finally, all nations came together that allowed them to undertake a course of survival.

    In 2073, fifty-eight years ago, a species called the Vreah arrived in the Human’s solar system. They shared their knowledge and technology. Humans built dozens of orbital space habitations in their own solar system in stable orbits of otherwise uninhabited uninhabitable planets.

    Astoria “Tori” Bertoletti is the librarian and planet cataloger of the first Human Ambassadorial spaceship called the Aero. Raze Salen is mankind’s emissary and Tori’s best friend. The ship is on a routine mission to the far-flung regions of the galaxy when they receive a distress call from their oldest space habitation in the Sol System. The structure has been brutally attacked. All inhabitants have been kidnapped or killed. The crew aboard the Aero search for clues to explain the attack and to figure out what species did the deed. After more similar distress calls, the clues point to the culpability of humanity’s own short-sightedness and desperation when they first began seeking out spaces in the universe to call home. In the midst of the imminent threat of war, Raze and Tori must show evidence of humanity’s wrongdoing to their government as well as to their allies. War is coming and the Humans need all the allies they can get.

    ***** FOUR & A HALF STARS! There is a romance between Tori and Raze, but it is only touched on (here and there) until far into this book. The main focus is on introducing the Human’s allies, the attacks and fallouts, crew interactions, and basically setting everything up for the next two titles.

    If you are a reader that enjoys details, in the back of the book you will find a list of a human timeline/history. It even informs you of the main classes of spaceships. There is also a listing of culture specifics, the names of important characters, and definitions of a few unfamiliar words/terms.

    As always, Karen Wiesner shows her wonderful talent for storytelling. I have never known her to write a (space) science fiction tale before; however, she has done a fantastic job on this one. Nothing seems forced or rushed. Everything is explained thoroughly as tensions slowly build. I was hooked from the beginning until the very end. I am especially intrigued by the Vreah species and hope to get a glimpse of their world someday. As for how this story is written, it is told by following several main and secondary characters. Each chapter begins with the name of the character it will be following. This is a terrific beginning to new series (trilogy?) and I am looking forward to the next book that will be titled “Inevitable.”

    5.0 out of 5 stars Arrow of Time Chronicles, Book 1: Immutable
    Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2020
    This novel grabs you by the throat! While it’s far from the first time Ms. Wiesner has switched genres, I was fascinated with the crew about the Aero seeking a home among the stars while Earth is healing. I liked that Raze and Tori had been friends all their lives and they couldn't imagine not being together. I fell in love with the clumsy Astoria, who tripped over her own feet and injured herself almost on a daily basis, and how Raze loved her anyway, despite a distraction with the Vreah ambassador. The story is complicated by an alien race who wants to enslave everyone in the galaxy. Wow! Now I must read Book 2!”
