Evolution of F.O.R.C.E. By: Sam B. Miller II (The Origin og F.O.R.C.E. book 3)



Evolution of F.O.R.C.E.

(The Origin of F.O.R.C.E. book 3)
By: Sam B. Miller II

I had to read this book, I mean after all, it is book number three of a series that has intrigued me from the get go. I have been completely drawn to the character ‘WhatsIt’ since his arrival here on Earth. He is just the most amazing Alien I have ever encountered, and compliments of my imagination, and reading; I’ve met quite a few.

Honestly, and personally I feel that you as the reader need to read the other two books to follow along and understand, but I presume you could possibly get a grasp of a war between planets if you try and read this book as a standalone. So honestly, the choice is yours. I however, as someone who have read all three, feel they accompany one another nicely, and belong together, like family. But, you know what they say about opinions. 

WhatsIt, Colonel Doug and Major Change have been teammates, working together to learn about Chrysalis, the planet that WhatsIt came from. The technology that had been gained through the ship the failed attack where they found WhatsIt was quite remarkable. The hard part was learning it, thankfully WhatsIt was there to help, once he eventually learned that this planet, our planet Earth was not as volatile as Chrysalis was, and that it wasn’t right to conquer it and destroy the entire planet and their species just for another to live. 

On the other hand, General Harrier of Chrysalis now had his own problem, he didn’t care what it took, he wanted the Asiddians destroyed. He didn’t care what it took, but he needed to try, especially now that it seemed that Earth was a no-go. On top of it all, he was noticing that some of the Chrysallaman people had become collaborators now. He just couldn’t understand for the life of him, how his own kind, could turn against him, unless it was the only way they thought they could survive. But he would not stoop that low.  Especially now that the Asiddians had the Chrysalis princess, he had a job to do. 

Now, with General Tom Blunt, he decided to make it their mission to set out and destroy those who took over and destroyed Chrysalis in the first place, the Asiddians, and make an attempt at helping Chrysalis out, so that they can recover their own planet back. He was determined to gather together a team and form a new and better F.O.R.C.E. and work with the Chrysallaman Army, and teach the Asiddians, (who already knew of human existence.) just what war was all about. 

With the Chrysallaman technology, and Earths technology, and some modified and remodified, they set out to make a difference. The battle will be long and hard, because existence will be proven, and lives and planets are at stake. A point is needed to be proven, but who will be the ones to survive and make a difference? Through a lot of struggling, and time, and much deliberation, and pain, as well as lesson’s learned, this book will teach you about friendship, and battles through interplanetary life. 

A lesson can be learned here, if you read closely, and understand. Not just only the strong survive, but that together, uniting as one, and working together, will the strong survive. You cannot fight the battle alone, and don’t try to run away from it to another planet. Stay there, and fight for what is yours. Defend your property, and defend what is yours, and stand for you believe in.
I found this book, as with the other two, to be amazingly written. I enjoyed every minute of it. As soon as I received it, I rushed to read it excitedly. I was so glad that Mr. Miller had written yet another one of these books. Honestly, I love spending time with ‘WhatsIt!’ He is truly an enjoyble Alien, you gotta check him out! 

This book is as always, a five-star read. I enjoyed every single minute of it. I will always be a fan of Mr. Miller. He just knows how to entertain his audiences. And I enjoy going through outer space with him. 

So, the next time you want to read an out of this Word book, you know where to look! 

Here are my questions for Mr. Miller:

1. What made you write this book and how long did it take you?
I wanted to complete the 3 book series finishing the loop I created beginning with “The Origin of F.O.R.C.E.”.  Bringing Whatsit back to his Home Planet, removing his nemesis Hisspat Zeck and tying up loose ends brought me great satisfaction.


2. Who designed this beautiful cover? The final cover was a collaboration of the cover artist who has stuck with me from the beginning, Shamsul Alam, my spaceship designer, Pantelis Lemos in Greece, and myself. The cover needed to evolve with “Evolution of F.O.R.C.E.”


3. Do you have any photos or descriptions of the characters that you can share with us?
I have new illustrations of McPherson, Dr. Heinbaum and Whatsit. They are attached. The spaceship, Destinnee (which is featured on the book cover) is also attached within this interview and review!)

4. What are you working on now? I am beginning the 6th Chapter of an adventure, mystery, involving King Solomon. My daughter and part-time editor, Anna C. Miller, is captivated by the first 5 Chapters so I think the new book will be fantastic.


5. What motivates you to write? I have a lot of stories in my head and enjoy letting them out. I tell my family my concepts, and they have no idea what universe my brain occupies.


6. If you were to get writers block, or have ever had it, what do you do for it? When I feel the block coming on, I stop writing and thinking about my story and get involved with something that settles my mind. Mundane chores like mowing the lawn or washing the car work. Then a good night's sleep and I'm usually ready to hit the words again.

7. What suggestions can you offer for the aspiring writers out there? You need a team. You need to have people you can bounce your story off of as you are building it. You need both young and old in the team. Family and friends. I can't tell you how many times my 30 yr old daughter or my 29 yr old son would say, Dad, this sounds like it was written by some old guy. It's not fresh. Or you need to describe this character better. Or this character needs more background so the reader can really understand why they act in a certain way. Your spouse will really not pull any punches and believe me I was punched plenty while writing my novels! I had a doctor and a pilot read the books and they pointed out a couple of technical errors which I corrected. All I can say is a team is very important!


8. How long have you been writing?  I began in February, 2015, and I’m still going.


9. What are your hobbies?
Dogs, home improvement projects, gardening, and painting miniature plaster Christmas houses.

10. Do you put yourself into your characters? Yes and family members as well. Whatsit’s girlfriend is named after my wife’s favorite name, Chellsee. Becky Chang talks like my sister-in-law. Many of the responses of McPherson, Dr. Heinbaum and General Blunt as based on how I respond to my wife and family.



11. Where is your favorite place to write? I have a large dining room with plenty of natural light and privacy.

I want everyone to know what a wonderful and kind person, Deneale Williams, is and how respected her book blog has become. She has been receptive to my writings since the beginning and is someone to be respected.

The Origin of F.O.R.C.E. By: Sam B. Miller ll



The Origin of F.O.R.C.E.

By: Sam B. Miller II

As I began this book, I was intrigued from the very beginning. It was an Alien family. I was impressed to know that these scouts who were looking for a suitable planet, were happily together as families. Not often do you read of aliens having children with them. Maybe it’s just the mother in me, wanting to see that, I don’t know. But it instantly made a difference and impact on my read from the start. 

These Aliens made their first contact here on our beautiful planet in 1947. They had came all the way from the Chrysallman Empire searching for a perfect planet to rich with minerals, water, and land that would be suffice for them to call home. 

HG-281 or Earth as we know it, was everything the Chrysallman Empire needed and more. They had no dear of the humanoids already claiming the planet, because they could simply squash them with their own perfect minds. 

Little did the Aliens expect that mankind were watching these Aliens since they have been investigating us. We were learning their tricks, and eventually, managed to shoot one down. This wasn’t part of the plan for these lizard type Aliens. 

Once the ship was on the ground, we decided to go investigate it. As mankind often does, we shoot first, and ask questions later. The Aliens are just as defensive, and use their own powers, and hurt us as well. They explode a few things, and even slice a man in two. And mind you, these are official military men we are using. 

After killing what we determine to be all of the Aliens, the military go back inside the ship and find a young child like lizard hidden. The child like lizard alien tries to protect himself, but the military official is prepared, and aims the laser ray from the alien, at its own foot, hurting the child like alien. Yep, the alien child didn’t see that coming.
Eventually the military convince the child alien reptile that cooperation is his best bet, and he does do just that. 

Now common sense will tell you, as with any movies you have seen on Aliens, and creatures and even human nature. Everyone comes back for their families.
So you can guess what will happen next. 

While mankind is studying the young reptile like lizard creature, the Chrysallaman will return. Common sense will tell mankind, yes there will be more. These Aliens have been visiting us since ’47, they want something. Yeah, they’ll be back, especially once they determine what we did.

Now don’t get me wrong, the humans did cover up and bury the evidence of the destroyed ship. Not  only for the people, but for the Aliens. The Military has to be able to deny everything all the way around, “What ship?” 

As for the Indian and his horse, even him, they watched him be destroyed, and took him away too. But what’s even more overwhelming. Is when the Aliens come back, there is a sombrero wearing Alien now. Once I read that, I immediately remembered the man on the horse, and his poor horse in the very beginning of the book. 

Mankind must create a new defense to defend ourselves against these Aliens, and when they come back. And Chrsallaman aliens have superior physic strength and technology. It’s a good thing we have the boy….

I give this book five stars, because it entertained me from the very start. It didn’t start off slow, it kept me wanting to read from the very beginning. Not many books can do that. I also wanted to mention, I found the cover also to be very attractive and eye catching. I was very pleased with this book, and give it five awesome science fiction stars! You will truly enjoy this book, especially if you love sci-fi!

My questions for Mr. Miller:


1. What made you write this book and how long did it take you? I have thought about writing for many years but with raising 5 children and a full-time job, finding the time to write was impossible. Now I am retired and all my children are out on their own so I took the leap. This book took me 3 and a half months to write.
2. How long have you been writing? A little over 15 months now.
3. What all education have you had? I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance, and a Master of Business Administration degree in Finance, from the University of Tennessee.
4. What is your favorite book of all time? It's a series actually. The Skylark of Space series by E. E. Doc Smith.
5. Did you do any special research for this book? No. I have read a lot about science and over the years, traveled briefly in Europe, visited many states in the US, and with Google Earth, I can explore many interesting places. Other than a few esoteric looks at some very specific scientific theories, my story came from my imagination.
6. What do you like best about writing books? Writing is a true release for me. I can disappear into the story I'm writing and forget the troubles of the day. It makes me happy.
7. What are your hobbies? Dogs, home improvement projects and gardening.
8. What can you suggest to be persons wishing to become writers?  You need a team. You need to have people you can bounce your story off of as you are building it. You need both young and old in the team. Family and friends. I can't tell you how many times my 28 yr old daughter or my 27 yr old son would say, Dad, this sounds like it was written by some old guy. It's not fresh. Or you need to describe this character better. Or this character needs more background so the reader can really understand why they act in a certain way. Your spouse will really not pull any punches and believe me I was punched plenty while writing my novel! I had a doctor and a pilot read the book and they pointed out a couple of technical errors which I corrected. All I can say is a team is very important!
9. Have you ever met any writers? Yes. Brian Kiteley is a published author and a professor of creative writing at Denver University. Very interesting guy.
10. What are your future plans, book wise? I'm about 2/3rds of the way through Book 2 in The Origin of F.O.R.C.E. series. I'm very excited about it because I believe it is in many ways better than Book 1.
11. Please share with us your social media links and book links:

12. Anything extra to add: Thank you, Deneale, for the opportunity to engage with your readers. I would urge readers to buy my book and enjoy the story.
