"The next sci-fi film? Can't wait for the sequel!" I have just finished reading The Kolumbas Affair and had to comment. Samuel Blankson has written a very interesting combination of genres into this story. This was really a fun read. It's a science fiction story, but it contains all the elements of a great adventure as well. There is high adventure, romance, youth rites of passage, a handsome young hero, and exotic beauties. There are interesting twists throughout that keep one turning the pages. The young hero finds himself with the responsibility of “saving the world” while villains of all sorts try to stop his progress. He is chased by villains and an arch-rival through intergalactic intrigue. Trust no one! What fun. This story would make for a good sci-fi film. When the sequel is in print, I will make a point to read it.

"The Kolumbas Affair"
Alfias is a young, psychic miner who enters combat training after eluding the all-powerful ETCA and its feared Psi Team.

He visits Old Earth, a barren and frozen wasteland, while trying to elude them.

After being trained by his mentor, whose young and beautiful daughter Chi Ling, both helps and is enamored of him, and after meeting a mysterious woman Chenade, he plans to look for the giant planet Kolumbas Major.

The Elders are hiding something on the planet, and it's Alfias' task to find out what it is.

This novel is huge in scope, complex - yet vastly entertaining and very much in the Heinlein or Eric Frank Russell... More > (a fellow writer also from the U.K.) vein - with richly created worlds and wonderful adventures.

Far from a standard, bland plot - it has space folding, sky tubes, and many other interesting and fully realized people, scenarios and worlds.

This novel just has to become a movie, and a grand one at that.

"A Great Space Adventure!!!" Blankson takes us on an amazing space adventure of twists, turns and mystery. The characters seem so real and it is easy for a reader to forget they are not in the future as the story unfolds. Definitely recommended for the sci-fi enthusiast!
