Book Description:
Everyone said the sky could never fall. They were wrong.
In the year 2076, anti-gravity has ushered in a new era of peace, prosperity, and worldwide collaboration. Powered by the scientific marvel known as Persistence, aerial vehicles now replace roads, energy comes from ambient particles, and the world’s nations are connected by open skies and their reverence for The Fabric — the timeless, interconnected thread of all particles, past and future, that not only powers anti-gravity but redefines humanity’s understanding of the presence of God.
But on an ordinary October morning, the impossible happens: passenger aerials start dropping/falling from the sky.
For Jack Woods, a national security official and devoted father, this tragedy is more than a historic anomaly. His son Erik was airborne when the world stopped. As aerials freeze mid-air across the globe like ticking timebombs and chaos erupts below/the death toll rises by the millions, Jack races to uncover what went wrong… and who may be responsible.
Meanwhile, Brian Medlock, the scientist who discovered anti gravity, prepares to leave this world only to be pulled into a political and spiritual firestorm threatening to unravel everything he built.
Blending science, political intrigue, and the primal human emotions that keep us grounded/connect us, Taming the Perilous Skies is a haunting look at a future world/ riveting journey through a world reliant/dependent on technology, and the people who must fight to save it/will stop at nothing to save it when it begins to unravel/falls apart. And how easily it can all fall apart.

My Review:
I found that Taming the Perilous Skies is a pretty good debut for author, Phil Marhsall. His writing style is a bit different from what I am used to and did take me a few chapters in before I could get used to it. Once I caught on, I was intrigued with this futuristic story. It had a good mixture of mystery, suspense, action, and adventure. It was interesting to see how the author's imagination was able to bring about such a thrilling tale that made me feel as though I was on a ride of twists and turns. It was a joy meeting the characters were believable and taking this journey with them was entertaining. About quarter of the way through, I was hooked and did not want to put it down until I was completely finished. With the recent horrific events in the news, diving into this book was a great way to take time away from it all.
I am going to give Taming the Perilous Skies four and a half stars. I believe fans and readers of science fiction, as well as, political thrillers will not want to miss out on it. I would be interested in getting my hands on any upcoming releases from Phil Marshall in the future.
I received a paperback copy of Phil Marshall's Taming the Perilous Skies from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
