Behind the Sun

Behind the Sun by Sue Nielsen follows Sally Burns and a team of elite experts when they are assigned to travel to a newly discovered planet on the opposite side of the Sun, one almost identical to Earth in mass, orbit, and size. What they encounter challenges their beliefs about Earth history, its development, and the nature of reality itself. Facing sabotage, violence, and events and creatures of mythological scope, Sally and the team are unprepared for the shattering revelations they encounter. In the end, Sally and the others find that there is a greater fate waiting for them, one more profound than Sally, or anyone, could have ever imagined. Written in masterful prose and told in the best traditions of the sci-fi action genre, Behind the Sun builds on mythological and religious traditions, science, and pure imagination to create a world like no other. Populated with compelling characters and thrilling plot lines, Sue Nielsen has written a book that will grab you by the collar and not let go.

4A wonderful retelling of mythology and Sci-Fi blended into one book  Feb 25, 2010
While I dont often write reviews, this is a special occasion, everyone has an opinion about something and we all have to make our minds up on our own but this first book from an emerging author really took hold of my imagination and it has to be said :-)

if you have a sense of adventure this book wont disappoint, not to spoil the details, it includes a fun romp into space where new meets old and everything is not what it first seems, there are fights for survival, morality tales and even parts that will make you laugh out loud, Don't let others discourage your curiousity, you know you want to get hooked like I and the other posters before me have and we can't wait for the next book.

happy trails

2Jumped the shark about halfway through..  Feb 14, 2010
I've never read anything by this author, and I purchased the book based on the great reviews.

I had great expectations for this book, and it didn't disappoint until the Greek, Roman, and Norse gods showed up. Then it became ridiculous. It was as if some space cadet had written the second half. Several times I had to take a break because I was laughing too hard.

In this case, my "willful suspension of disbelief" wasn't enough to carry it. I read it through to the end, however, but what a disappointment. Just about any sci-fi writer's book would be better.

What a fantastic concept for a book. Such a good read. Can't wait for the next installment!

5A ticket to another world  Jul 24, 2009
With out of this world technology and picturesque landscapes, "Behind the Sun" left me thinking about what is really out there in our universe and beyond. For me this book was a cross between a history lesson, a sci-fi movie with an element of fantasy.

I love the way the author crossed from scene to scene, as I was always wondering what the other experts were up to.

I also enjoyed the way the author portrayed the various sights on Earth, it felt like I was there.


5I hope there is more  Jun 18, 2009
This is one of the deepest sci-fantasy books I have ever involved myself in.

The questions for the reader keep coming thick and fast, whether based on religion/faith, history and experience or just plain old interest.

Well worth the read and I am certainly looking forward to more from this author..
