Invitation: Winter World – The Long Winter (E-FIELD Flames)

I was surprised and happy to receive an endorsement invitation for this science fiction novel.

This is my first endorsement. It actually took me a full week to formulate my thoughts in catching what I was asked for by this invitation.  Of course, I did not get to know the detailed process/steps until having a couple more email interactions, and what was not clear was the date assigned for review.  This seems familiar as if reviewing papers/proposals, but the only difference is that this is reviewing an entire book and within a couple of weeks.

I did request an extension to give myself extra time during the break to read.  Even though it is only a couple of sentences of a book blurb, I wanted to be honest in my words that reflect the best perspective, and I wanted to be sure that the blurb read properly in Mandarin (and English).

The camera flashes between the low earth orbit International Space Station (ISS) and the earth. The stories are weaving together within a realistic framework. Dashing through modern science and the author’s fictitious events. Florescent and bewildered; bizarre and curvy. It is a work of making the sci-fi aerospace dream come true.” ──  Dr. Yu-Chien Chien, Lead NASA ACME E-FIELD Flames Scientist at UCI & Director of LFA
