Shango

What a still born turkey this was, and I have nothing against self published books with typos as sometimes it's the only way. But save your money on this unless it's a free give away with a packet of beef turkey or something. The cover and title 'Shango', is was the only thing that led me take a chance on this overpriced turkey (over 30 bucks).I thought "wow Shango and Sci Fi, oh my I'm feeling Octavia Butler meets Toni Cade Bambara and just look at that cover!"I should have saved on the experimentation on this longwinded skool boy story and stuck with purchasing another book from my beloved deceased writers.If you do come across this, give your self 20 minutes first to skim the first 'chapter' (mine didn't have a first chapter as it started on page 61) just to see what you think or feel.Why did I read it all 600 pages then? because I'm cheap, and after paying full retail price I had to.It's only use has been for me to show to other young aspiring writer full of self doubt to show them that LOOK! this crap got published and revved on Amazon and you are no worse so Go Self Publish yourself!

Jonathan Martine struggles to protect his gifted daughter who was born aboard a space ship. As the voyage reaches beyond six years both the fuel rods and tempers are burning short. Confined to the ship and isolated from earth, personalities have rubbed each other raw. Both the crew and the captain hate Jonathan Martine and he in turn views all others with suspicion. Into this combustible mix, drops the spark of Shango, the Captain's African thunder god--The expedition discovers an alien civilization.The early part of this story takes some thought to understand, but once it gets going the characters behave with satisfying believability and complexity.
