Review: Progeny's Promise by Kenneth Wick

Progeny's Promise, The Apocalypse Revelation by Kenneth Wick
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book tells a profound story. We have damaged and continue to damage our planet; Earth is alive and knows this; humankind can be benevolent; humankind is greedy and prefers to take by force. Every war enacted leads to our home’s destruction, until it reaches tipping point and salvation is no longer there. Every time oil is sucked from the bowels, industry hastens disaster.

Some of this I found hard to read; the military specs had me kinda cross-eyed, but the story kept me riveted throughout. How not? A galaxy steward comes to Earth, because our world sent a cry for aid. His duty is to save Earth, but his duty also is to save Earth’s children. Literally, save the CHILDREN. The warmongers and religious freaks deny the state of the planet and see all of it as an opportunity to take control, and if control means nuking folk, so be it. While they squabble, Earth fights to stay alive.

Progeny’s Promise is fast-paced and speaks well to the motivations of those who are greedy and those who wish to see a future for our children. Battles in space and on land are stupendous, and the ‘aliens’ possess awesome tech and are able to do things that astound everyone. It’s also saddening. So sad. How dare we do this to our world?

A great read. Definitely deserves 5 stars!
