The book Foundra by Emmanuel M Arriage is a great science fiction novel with an amazing world setup. The story setting is quite complex but the writer has explained things to the extent that it gets digested. The appendix of the book also has a glossary that explains the terms used in the book as well as the descriptions of the characters which is quite unusual and impressive.
The book revolves around the events around 420000 before ascension and is about the next 80,000 years that passed. It is about Neven and Zun who get trapped in an unexpected galactic war. Since it’s the first book of the series so it gives a promising start to the story. The thing I like about this book is that the characters are well-defined and have been used well in the book. The strange world that the writer has created is quite fascinating and keeps you intrigued throughout. Recommended!
