Inside the Book
Title: DOMINION: FIRE AND ICEAuthor: D.A. Hewitt
Publisher: Double Dragon eBooks
Pages: 372
Genre: Science Fiction
It’s the year 2075. Lunar mining and processing facilities have prospered near the lunar south pole, where the Moon’s largest city, Valhalla, rests on the rim of the Shackleton Crater.
Dominion Off-Earth Resources has beaten the competition into space and is ready to establish its monopoly with the opening of the orbiting space resort Dominion. But Pettit Space Industries has a secret plan to emerge as a major contender in the commercialization of space. The upstart company is training the first space rescue squad at a secluded off-grid site in Barrow, Alaska.
The rescue squad gets nearly more than it can handle when its first mission involves the Pope, who’s traveling to the Moon to establish the Lunar See. During the rescue attempt, they discover Earth is imperiled by an asteroid large enough to cause mass extinction. Using the unique skills taught during their training, skills emphasized by the great psychoanalyst Carl Jung, these Jungi Knights must elevate their game if they are to save both the Earth and the Pope—while not getting killed in the process.
Meet the Author
D.A. Hewitt is an award-winning author of four novels and over a
hundred short stories. One novel was awarded a gold medal from the
Independent Publishers Book Awards for best regional fiction. He
attributes his success to hard work, honing a skill and providing an
outlet for his passion for writing.
Born in Michigan, he lived for 25 years in North Carolina before returning to live in his home state. In addition to enjoying sky diving and mountain climbing, he is a proud veteran of the US Marine Corps and has earned a degree in mathematics.
Mr. Hewitt admits to a fascination with the work of Carl Jung and of the Gnostic religion. He’d always thought intertwining these topics in a science fiction novel was a stretch, but one day the storyline of Dominion came to him. He wrote the novel in a stream of consciousness. “It makes sense, tapping into the collective unconscious,” Mr. Hewitt says, “very much like Carl Jung might have predicted.”
My Review
DOMINION: FIRE AND ICE was a fast paced book that kept me on the edge of my seat from the first page to the last. I really liked the idea of the Jungi Knights rescue team. The idea that they had to save not only the Pope, but also Earth from massive death was a great plot line. I specifically liked how the whole asteroid thing sort of mirrored one of the major theories for why the dinosaurs all went extinct. This really gave me a way to understand how bad it would be if the rescue team failed. The setting was in one word awesome with how so much of it took place off Earth. This was by far one of the best science fiction books I have ever read.
