Intraterrestrial edition by Nicholas Conley Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks

"Intraterrestrial" by Nicholas Conley is a fascinating and unique read, combining the trauma of a severe brain injury with the adventure of outer space exploration--with a twist. That's because the "outer space" exploration is, in reality, an "inner space" journey, deep into the mind and essence of the thirteen-year-old protagonist, Adam Helios.

When Adam, along with his parents, is the victim of a terrible car accident that, literally, cracks open his skull, the result is a kind of limbo, where he hovers between life and death, and where he must overcome his demons in order to survive. A bookish, nerdy boy with a love of outer space, Adam's journey within, while he lies on a hospital bed, half-alive and half-dead, morphs into an incredible sojourn through the stars, as he must vanquish "The Destroyer" and bring all the various aspects of Consciousness, his consciousness, together. This dualistic inner/outer journey makes "Intraterrestrial" a truly unique reading experience. Combined with the parallel story of Adam's mother and father, and their recovery from the crash, the thrust of the action carries you along in multiple directions, creating a page-turning adventure.

For lovers of science fiction, fantasy, the unlimited power of the imagination (which is, in many respects, the "hero" of the novel), and just good storytelling skillfully woven, I highly recommend "Intraterrestrial."

Intraterrestrial edition by Nicholas Conley Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews

Thirteen-year-old Adam is shy, quiet, and a bit of a nerd. He loves looking at the stars through his telescope and building his own bike, while thinking about the mysteries of the universe, but doesn’t really feel like he belongs in his own life. The voice he keeps hearing in his head isn’t helping. When a run-in with a school bully lands him in trouble, it brings the conflict between his parents and himself into sharp focus.

The auto accident changes everything.

Adam ends up with a Traumatic Brain Injury, hovering on the edge of life and death. While his body is fighting to survive, Adam’s mind, his imagination, is in outer space, where he meets a group of aliens fighting against the Nothing that wants to destroy them—and Adam. Adam is the only one that can save them, but to do that, he must fight his way through the darkness that threatens to take away his future.

Intraterrestrial deals with some heavy topics brain injury, bullying, and finding your place in the world when you’re different than everyone else. Adam is from India, and this makes him feel different from his adoptive parents and everyone else he knows. He struggles with this “differentness” in the first part of the book, as well as bullying and his response to being bullied.

After the accident, Intraterrestrial is both more complex and fantastical. What Adam experiences is imaginative and intriguing—is it really happening, or is his brain struggling to deal with the injury?—yet his reactions and observations sometimes border on childlike. He’s 13, so that makes sense for the character, but I’m undecided on if this novel is geared more towards a YA/middle grade audience, or an adult audience. The subject matter is older, but Adam himself is younger, so it could go either way. I enjoyed the novel very much. It is as creative as the author’s other works, and I look forward to reading more.

Interesting, made me laugh and cry, covers everything from bullying to interracial friendships
Not sure even fantasy fans would go for this one. Once I got past the amorphous space blob, I quit. Sorry!
I gave it a 4 only because it was obviously meant for younger audience who would probably have given it a 5. Very easy to read gamma characters were real. A good start and a very satisfying ending
This novel is about human beings being more than they thought they could ever be, grownups and children both.
Many would see this story as fantasy, but to me it's realistic in its merging of philosophy and symbolism. We are all more than our physical bodies and our universes are of our own making. If we decide to perceive others and the world as we would prefer them to be, we may consider changing our attitudes, using our imaginations, and combine courage, will power, hope and optimism, as Adam did. It's hard to learn, but once we get the hang of it, I suppose it will feel as if we were always able to do it - as indeed we were .
Creatively mingling reality and science fiction, Nicholas Conley crafts a mind boggling, intense story. It left me soul searching, a little heart broken, and overwhelmingly in awe of the way he weaves not only Adam’s story but that of his mother, Camille. I won’t give spoilers but I will say, as a parent, I could identify with parts of Camille’s behavior while at other times I disliked her immensely. Adam is a pretty cool kid and I truly enjoyed the arc his story took. It stayed consistent throughout, not making him into some kind of immediate superhero, yet showing the growth of the character. I can’t even get into the aliens because it would give so much away. If I could give it ten stars I would in a heartbeat. Fantastic book! The author gave me a copy of this book and this review is my honest opinion. ***Review has been done in conjunction with Nerd Girl Official. ***
