About this Book:

The 4th volume in the H2LiftShip Series pits the symbiotic combination of semi-sentient AI tablets and algal rocket ships against the Heliospheric Navy. The HiveSisters, in response to an unwanted software update, brought the heliosphere’s economy to its knees by shutting down the bioGel-controlled ATMs. Sentients are forced back to BeforeTimes techniques of bartering and IOUs as they struggled to keep fed, warm, and alive in outer space.

Captain Graciela Lucerne, on her repaired and renamed BosonsWave-Squared, joins forces with Commodore Herb Grauer on his Gorilla Class Fast Cruiser to bring the HiveWar they may have accidentally started to an equitable finish. We begin at the end of the heliosphere and follow Hans and Jingles scrapping exotic ions born at the intersection of Sol’s heliotail and cosmic rays. They were stuck at the tail-end of Sol after being banned by the Asteroid Union for destroying a mining ship. Graciela’s parents escape the algal-slimed HuB asteroid and join their daughter on Luna, where they travel to Earth to purchase cargo for the asteroid miners. She has the pleasure of showing her family the difference between living in ZeroG and on a 1g rock with its oceans, deserts, and tasty carne asada burritos.

The usual assortment of pirates, gamblers, and merchants round out the story as everyone tries to move forward as war disrupts their routines and cash flow.

My Review:

Have you ever thought about what the world is like beyond your own? What goes on in the space, and what life is like in the vastness? Well, you don’t have to wonder any further. Bob Freeman has done it again with his latest volume of H2LiftShips – BosonsWave2. He has breathed life into another fantabulous space adventure that takes your imagination to a new realm.

“BosonsWave^2 – Solar Sails Squared” is Bob Freeman’s fourth volume in the H2LiftShips series. It follows the crew of BosonsWave^2, a group of extraordinary misfits, as they face challenges, encounter allies and enemies, and navigate space travel. After crash-landing on Luna, they must repair their ship and continue their journey while dealing with aliens with hidden motives. They encounter pirates, discover an alien artefact, and confront a deadly solar storm. The crew must learn to trust each other and work together to survive and accomplish their mission. The book is part of a science fiction series that explores space travel and the difficulties of living in harsh environments.

One of my favourite books in space travel has always remained “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”. That was way back in my childhood. Since then, I have struggled to find a book that entertaining and imaginative until I came across the H2LiftShip series. I have been following this series since the beginning. I am amazed at how Bob Freeman has only made the story more spectacular and grand with each new installation.

The story is a perfect blend of humour, adventure, drama, sci-fi and action. It is a masterclass for budding authors and a delight for readers who are bored of the same old conventional and predictable plots. Every sentence is unique and it feels like you’re reading an epic rap song with witty writing. This book will definitely make you have multiple outbursts of laughter and awe. My favourite part of the book is the exploration of the family dynamics of Captain Graciela and her parents. It was heart-warming and filled me with a sense of pride. The outstanding nature of the storytelling will make you feel that you are too part of the family.

This is a book that is suitable for every age group. Whether you are a child, teenager or a grownup, this novel won’t fail to touch your heart. If you’re a parent looking for the perfect story to ignite the love of reading in your munchkin(s), you know what to get them for their next present!

To get a greater sense of the story and enjoyment, I will suggest you start this series from the first book, which will suck you right into the author’s vivid imagination. But if you find it hard to give time to all four books, “BosonsWave^2” also works well as a standalone book. This is one of those books that stays with you for quite a long time.
