Thousands of years after humans destroyed all life on Earth, three archaeologists of Sinela descent, an alien race, stumble upon an abandoned space station on Saturn’s moon, Titan. They find a dormant android called Samoth and a gene bank. After accessing Samoth’s memory, they learn that the android has existed for millennia and played vital roles in different human civilizations. Interested in discovering more about humans, the three Sinela, Alexus, Nemas, and Cligo fly to Earth. Their adventure is cut short when Samoth, whom they had brought along, awakens. They learn about his plan for humanity with the gene banks. While Alexus and Cligo agree with Samoth’s plan, Nemas does not. He leaves for his home world, promising to return with reinforcement to stop Samoth. Discover how it all goes down in William Karl Thomas’s Immortal.

Lovers of science fiction with a post-apocalyptic touch will find William Karl Thomas’s Immortal an enthralling read. Using a frame narrative style, Thomas introduced me to a diverse, dynamic cast. The vivid descriptions breathed life into the scenes, capturing the post-apocalyptic mood and setting. Thomas addresses the themes of betrayal, sacrifices, power, extinction, survival, reproduction, technology, and more. The detailed depictions allowed me to experience the cast’s emotions. Juxtaposing their complex traits made it easy to connect with them. The conversations were sharp and purposeful, giving insight into the cast’s conflicts. Thomas teases the idea of humanity engineering its extinction through the reckless use of technology, urging us to be wary of both its constructive and destructive power. There is adventure, drama, suspense, and more in this read.
