An old saying tells us that it’s not possible to please
everyone at the same time. Perhaps that’s true, but author Bill Copeland comes
pretty close with his science fiction novella
“Cosmic Swan.” It’s a joy to describe this book because it is so rich in
content and detail combined with the craft of finely wrought storytelling.
A closer look at the story shows how it brings to life a
hard-hitting science fiction tale that weaves together many elements that are
sure to keep even the most discerning reader happy, no matter what genre they
like to explore.
When you read “Cosmic Swan,” you are transported around the
world on a tale of adventure. But it’s much more than that. It incorporates
hard science, mysterious realms, other life forms, and interstellar visitors.
It’s also a great introduction to science fiction for those
who are looking for something that is grounded in hard science. Copeland draws
upon his years working at NASA -- a place where they know a thing or two about
science -- to create a story that has a basis in the true workings of
scientific principles. Things in this story behave as they would if the events,
incidents, and individuals were brought to life.
You don’t find yourself
saying, “That’s unbelievable,” as you would with a lesser science
fiction novella. You find yourself gripped by the story and saying,
“What happens next?”
