Book Review: ‘Axiom’s End’ By Lindsay Ellis

It’s 2007 and two meteor strikes hit the Los Angeles area within the span of a month and US Government is acting shady about things. A leak has been revealed and it claims the Government has known about Extra-terrestrials on earth. The whistle blower happens to be the father of Cora Sabino and her life is about to change forever.

Her car has broken down, she has to be at at job she doesn’t really like, she notices that a car has been following her and while at work is when the second meteor strikes and blows out a lot of windows at her job and she ends up leaving and getting fired.

While at home that night Cora gets abducted by one of the aliens, whose name is Ampersand, and he puts in a chip in her ear that allows her to understand and talk to him. Her family has been taken by the Government and she hopes that working with Ampersand will have clear her father and save her family.

She makes a deal with the Government and turns herself and the alien in. We soon learn that there’s a second alien group that has landed on earth and is after Ampersand and his crew. Soon Cora and Ampersand are on the run (and bonding together) and it leads to a showdown between the two alien groups and a fight for survival.

A solid alien on earth story filled with like able characters, and interesting story and some funny moments. The interplay between Cora and Ampersand is truly fun to read. According to Amazon this is book one. I am not sure if it is going to be a series or not but I am all in for more adventures with these characters.
