A NEW WORLD CONTACT BY MD NEU

A New World – Contact
MD Neu
Publication date: February 4th 2019
Genres: LGBTQ+, Science Fiction

A little blue world, the third planet from the sun. It’s home to 7 billion people with all manner of faiths, beliefs and customs, divided by bigotry and misunderstanding, who will soon be told they are not alone in the universe. Anyone watching from the outside would pass by this fractured and tumultuous world, unless they had no other choice. Todd Landon is one of these people, living and working in a section of the world called the United States of America. His life is similar to those around him: home, family, work, friends and a husband.

On the cusp of the greatest announcement humankind has ever witnessed, Todd’s personal world is thrown into turmoil when his estranged brother shows up on his front porch with news of ships heading for Earth’s orbit. The ships are holding the Nentraee, a humanoid race who have come to Earth in need of help after fleeing the destruction of their homeworld. How will one man bridge the gap for both the Humans and Nentraee, amongst mistrust, terrorist attacks and personal loss? Will this be the start of a new age of man or will bigotry and miscommunication bring this small world to its knees and final end?

REVIEWED BY:

Contact is book 1 in M.D. Neu's A New World series. I will say that if your looking for a lot of romance, book 1 is not where you are going to find it. There is a relationship with Todd and his husband, but their relationship read as more day to day kind of stuff vs. lovey dovey. I am hoping in book 2 we will get some super hot romance between a few of these characters. 

 Contact seems to me to be mostly world building. And oh what a world he builds!  My sweet mother is a chaser of all things UFO, I cant tell you how many times I've been woken up to "Honey, I think I saw something! Wanna go check it out?" So I was quite excited to read this book, because I know its all that my mother has dreamt of and oh so much more. 

I will say I did have a little bit of a hard time reading some of the dialog between the Terran's (the people of Earth) and the Natraee. I was thinking that it was some editing issues, but then remember that this is not their actually language, that they have been trying to translate from theirs to ours. 

I really cant wait to see where M.D. takes this series. 

Oh and can I get my very own Faa???

I give this book 3.75 galactic stars.
