Book Review
Down Below Beyond was a fun and exciting ride through the galaxy. It’s full of multi-planetary adventures and has a huge cast of unique alien characters that you will enjoy discovering. In the book Bruno provides a detailed chart of the galaxy as well as fun artwork of each of the alien characters introduced in the book which I greatly appreciated.
Down Below Beyond is a fast paced story as the action began almost at the outset of the book. There is no shortage of great characters in the book and I appreciate the quality of the writing of the characters as you can see multiple levels in the main cast. They seem to be personable and fully realized. My only critique of Down Below Beyond was that at times the dialogue seemed a bit forced and unnatural but this seemed to be corrected the further into the story I went. I also really enjoyed the humor that was used as it was a refreshing touch in the midst of some intense scenes. The humor and serious moments were balanced quite well.
Fans of both Star Wars and Guardians of the Galaxy should enjoy Down Below Beyond because of its epic space action as well as featuring a close knit team of heroic characters who are working together against an empirical force attempting to dominate the galaxy.
