TRINITY’s FALL (Vu-Hak War Book 2) by P.A. Vasey – First Contact Sci-fi, Religious Science Fiction Fantasy, Sci-fi Anthologies

Trinity’s Fall, the second book in the science fiction thriller series (Vu-Hak War) by P.A. Vasey, delivers the story of an alien invasion as seen through the twisted, heart-pounding lens of a Twilight Zone episode, complete with invisible mind-controlling alien monsters, nuclear explosions, hidden lunar bases, and secret wormholes with “Men in Black” playing both sides.

As this entry opens, the protagonist has no idea of her true identity—and no memory of her first encounter with either the monstrous alien Vu-Hak—or her relationship with humanity’s presumed savior, Adam Benedict.

Although this is the second book in the series, the first half of the book does an excellent job of bringing the reader up to speed. Looks can be deceiving. When the FBI knocks on her door—and knocks her out of her amnesia-induced rut—she begins to remember who she is and what’s at stake.

Kate gradually rediscovers the truth—and Vasey cleverly allows new readers to discover it with her.

The action pounds readers with thrill-a-minute suspense as Kate races to recapture the threads of a life stolen from her. She then takes charge of an around-the-world hunt for the one person who might be able to stop the alien invasion. Stakes are high, and no one wants to believe the invasion is further along than previously thought.

Once Kate and Adam reunite, Vasey slows the pace a bit.

The characters and their colleagues must reckon with the harrowing possibility that the aliens will succeed. Questions arise about whether the ends justify the means, and what they will do to ensure the human species survives. Do they have the right to set humanity on a different course? Vasey develops the plot, including the paradoxes of time travel, the ethical implications of human cloning, and even the ultimate question of where life begins.

Fans who love their sci-fi with a serving of ethical discourse on the side will love this series. No doubt, the Vu-Hak War saga overall will amass fans in both the sci-fi world and literary circles as well. Book two closes with a universe-altering surprise that bodes very well indeed for the third and concluding book in the trilogy. Stay tuned, much more is on the way!

Trinity’s Fall won 1st Place in the CIBA 2020 Cygnus Awards for Science-fiction novels.
