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 6^th 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.

Dawn of Chrysalis (Orgin of F.O.R.C.E. Book2) by Sam B. Miller II

<! --[if gte mso 9]> <![endif]-->

Dawn of Chrysalis (The Origin of F.O.R.C.E. Book 2)

By: Sam B. Miller II

I totally fell in love with the first book, and when I learned there was a second book, I just had to read this one too.

I honestly suggest reading the first book, I honestly feel it makes it easier to comprehend, however it is explained that the character ‘Whatsit’ is the same character from the first book, but in general you need the feeling from the first book of his capture, just my opinion. But the book can be read as a standalone book, it is up to the reader. I am just a person that prefers being a know it all about my characters.

As I stated, Whatsit, is from the first novel. He was captured at a young age, however now he is an adult and working with the humans to help make a statement to the Chrysallaman race. 

As I began reading, I loved it when WhatsIt in who always was dressed in his favorite outfit, a brightly colored sombrero, and a dark green trench coat, associated with the humans that came to know. His personality is very unique and I just enjoy something about him.

And then when we meet Gooey…::clearing my throat:: ahem. I mean Dr. Jamins GooYee, he thinks he is, wait I mean he thought he was a know-it-all, until he met our team of humans and WhatsIt. 

We have the Chrysallaman’s who have just been awakened and thought they have arrived at HG-281 to which was thirty light years of travel from Chrysalis, in hopes of making a new colony, because humans are easy to destroy. Or so they thought. And they awake to find themselves within the confines and control of Earthlings that they thought they could control, who are now willing to teach them: no, you are not any longer in control.

 

Battle

We show them we can win in a battle of mind control, by almost killing their best mind control expert, and we show them their own ships alloy can be destroyed. Then when Dr. GooYee thinks his famous body slicing in half human ray can chop the humans in half, they spray the ray across, and nothing happens, except the necklaces that the humans are wearing, exhibit a blue force protecting them. This is when Dr. GooYee realizes, maybe he needs updated.

But this is just the beginning. You see, the reason that everyone was so determined to get away from Chrysalis, was because on their planet, they were being invaded and attacked. They needed a place to go to feel safe, and the Chrysallaman race thought because their intelligence told them HG-281 was a race that could be taken over, and was a compatible planet, this was the safest place for them. 

 

Sam B. Miller II with his cast of characters

WhatsIt wanted to help his fellow Chrysallaman, and he knew with his help, and that of the humans, there just might be a chance that they could pull it off. Otherwise, it was seeming like more and more of them were going to continue to keep coming after Earth time and time again. Therefore, Earth was going to be in trouble too, yet still. 

WhatsIt convinces his fellow human brethren that he now considers family, that the best bet would be to save to Chrysalis and the race of Chrysallaman and help them to recover their planet in the ‘Dawn of Chrysalis.’

This book kept me entertained just as the first one did, and I give it five stars, more if I could. I loved every minute of it. There are points in here where you will chuckle with the characters, and points where you will be on the edge of your seat, waiting and worrying. This book is an excellent science fiction story worth every penny, and you will want to read it over and over again.

This book, along with the first one, would make for a great science fiction action based movie! I would love to see it in movie format one day!

My questions for Sam:

1.        What made you write this book and how long did it take? I designed The Origin of F.O.R.C.E. as a series. Writing the second book felt like a natural progression. I started writing it in November, 2015, and was finished in May, 2016. Re-reads, tweaks and the cover added another month.

2. Do you have photos or descriptions of these Aliens and or their ships? The Chrysallaman scout saucer is shown on the cover of the second book. I had a conceptual artist design my conception of the new Asiddian battleship, and a copy is included. The design is based on a burr I used to get all over my jeans while wandering the fields around my boyhood home. Each burr tip houses a disintegrator cannon. (included in this interview)

3. Did you do any research for this book? Yes. I researched the effects of prisms on light rays because I needed to defend against the disintegrator beams. The method for creating the armor plate on the starships also had me researching metallurgical books.

4. What are you working on now? I am working on Chapter 16 of the 3^rd book in the series and hope to have the entire story in hand by May, 2017.

5. Do you put yourself in any of the characters? No. I felt I would get too wordy explaining myself. I did use some comment phrases my family members say from time to time such as “Get over yourself.”

6. What all education have you had? I have an MBA in Finance and in past years taught college level courses at the University of Tennessee and East Tennessee State University.

7. Have you ever had writers block, whether or not you have, how do you suggest to handle it? Yes. I have put my characters in situations from which I found it difficult to extricate them. The best way I have discovered to handle the problem is to remove myself from the story and wait for an inspiration. My best time for thinking up new twists in the storyline is somewhere between 9am and 11am. I spend the rest of the day writing the inspiration.

8. What is your favorite book of all time? Sixth Column by Robert Heinlein. I have read and re-read the novel so many times I’ve lost count.

9. Who designed the cover of your book? Shamsul Alam. He did the first book cover as well. I hope to have him do the 3^rd book as well.
