    5.0 out of 5 stars If you like space opera, you will love this story. I do, and I did!

    My thought when I first started reading this novel was that it would be genuine hard science fiction out of India. Unfortunately, this is not so. Don’t get me wrong, Alien Hunt is a good read—it is fine space opera with good aliens, bad aliens, humans of all stripes, and a lot of so-called near-future technology tossed in for good measure. For me, this is where the story lost its hard science fiction veneer.

    The writing is very good, characters are fully developed, and the plot is full of twists and turns. If you like space opera, you will love this story. I do, and I did!

    A few months back I read "Earth to Centauri: The First Journey" the first installment in Captain Anara - Antriksh series by Kumar L. I was fascinated by the level of sci-fi novel upgraded by Kumar L in Indian literature. In the genre of sci-fi or space fiction, Indian lacks quality and quantity of books Kumar L can fill that gap.

    The last part ended with captain Anara leaving HuZryss with Joe & Lucy. They were coming back to Earth after a long journey. Unknown to them TruKifs went to an extream and started rebelling against Discat - RyHiza. TruKifs made a powerful weapon and a spaceship to attack the earth. Captain Anara's team got this warning message while they were still on the way to earth. On reaching earth she explained the situation to authorities.

    Soon, the extraterrestrial terrorist entered the earth. Their plan was to leave an impact so strong that humans never thought of going back to HyZryss. Being an alien they took help of a human. A traitor was in for personal gain. I would recommend you to read the series to know what will happen to earth.

    The writing style of Kuma is plain and straightforward. Where the first volume was more explanatory for the initial building block for series. This part is more filled with an action thriller. The author has tried to make readers visualize the futuristic world with advanced technologies & gadgets. He has thought about 70-80% scenarios as per future technologies.

    I found some flaws in the plot
    1) Suspense behind Biw. Can't explain exact details as I don't want to give spoilers
    2) TrueKiff spaceship hidden on the dark side of the moon. But in the first part, it was discussed that human has already colonized the moon. So how come no one has seen a spaceship landing on the dark side of the moon
    3) Tej was shown as an intelligent agent. They how come she did blunder of using Prana protocol when she knew target cannot be reached
    4) Terrorist's easy entry & exit to the underground city of Shivaji Nagar
    5) Terrorist used tons of earthen technology in traitor's absence

    Well, it doesn't mean I didn't like the book, I just became more a fan who scrutinize plot in detail. You can find many such plots in Star Trek or Star Wars as well. In short, I liked the book and I am already a fan of captain Anara series.

    Earth to Centauri: Alien Hunt waa well written. I enjoyed the way Kumar L extended the story from the first book. There was a lot of action and suspence in this story, that I hope he continues in the next installment - which I, of course, will read. Bravo, Kumar L, you have a great little series going here and I highly recommend it.

    Wow! If the first book was great this one is fantastic! Kumar takes the characters, plot and storyline to a whole new level. A page turner to the very end with a great climax. One is not able to put down the book due to the twists and turns in the story. And the ending is already making the wait for the 3rd book almost unbearable. Highly recommended!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A New Take on First Contact Stories !
    Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2018
    Format: Kindle
    This is a different concept of a first contact story. The plot layout is thorough and convoluted. Captain Anara and crew go head to head with aliens. Story builds to a split second climatic ending. Even if the science fiction was left out or would be a great adventure thriller. Plausible? Maybe...

    5.0 out of 5 stars A TENSE AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING SCI-FI THRILLER
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 28, 2018
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Gripping and very well-written, this book is a highly effective sci-fi tale. It reads very much like a modern political thriller – think 24 with aliens – and its considerable dramatic tension builds inexorably to an all-action climax. The book’s setting in particular – a futuristic Mumbai during a major religious festival – is particularly effective, and much more interesting and exciting than the generic future megalopolises that usually serve as backgrounds for this kind of story. The book is also very well researched, with credible science around every corner, and just enough tech detail to satisfy the nerd in me, but not so much as to become a burden to the story. EARTH TO CENTAURI: ALIEN HUNT also manages that very neat trick of being part of a series with an ongoing story, while remaining a satisfying standalone tale in its own right. Thrilling stuff, and highly recommended!

    It's been more than half a year, since I started reading the works of Mr. L Kumar. And to my surprise, he leaves no stone unturned to amazed me being always steps ahead of my expectations.

    Having read The First Journey, The Alien Hunt feels one heck of thrill and adventure. I must say, the ideation of plot in combination with a gripping narrative has built the base of this sci fi so well. It briefs about the first spaceship launched from earth - Antariksh (namely), the journey made to Alpha Centauri star system and few other things of research along with discoveries essential for human establishment. Nothing of the plot seemed exaggerated. The well structured and defined plot makes it notably praiseworthy (in my opinion, at least ).

    Conclusion - An amazing time is waiting for you if you love reading sci-fi stuff.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A good blend of science, fiction and thriller
    Reviewed in India on March 14, 2018

    Since the time I have actively started reading books, I was looking for a Science Fiction book. The main reason behind this search was that I enjoyed watching Science Fiction movies as a kid. I never missed an episode of a cartoon show or cartoon movies that was based on some science fiction. Whether it was Ben 10 or some of the science episodes of Tom & Jerry, I enjoyed watching them. As soon as I came across this book, I could not resist reading it because it had the word “Alien” in its title.

    The story is based on future and talks about the time when life is discovered on not just one but two planets besides Earth. The names that were used in the story were good but took time to settle in my mind- RyHiza, KirfWyss, Anara, TrueKif were some of the names that added extra effect to the alien element in the story. The sequences of wars, the way the planning of the wars and the way the instructions were given to the people made this story a gripping one. The war is not just a normal because it extends beyond Earth. The story has a good element of thriller and you will only be able to figure out more about the war when you read the book.

    The cover is good but I believe that making it more colorful would have resulted in a better cover. The title is apt for the story and the tagline “Alien Hunt” attracted me to the story. The narration is a good one. Though in some areas, I felt the things were confusing and I had to reduce my reading pace to understand the alien things well. But the story has been described well and the readers can visualize the story if they read it seriously. The plot is a regular one though that is normally expected from Science Fiction books. The narration and good thriller element have pulled up the story and kept me involved in the book.

    I recommend it to all who enjoy reading science fiction.

    Cover- 4 / 5
    Narration- 4 / 5
    Plot- 3.5 / 5
    Title- 4.5 / 5
    Overall- 4 / 5

    It's year 2118 and the Earth is under threat from the inhabitants of HuZryss, a planet in the Alpha Centauri star system that the human civilization has managed to reach just a year earlier.
    The spaceship Antariksh, led by Captain Anara, accomplished what so far it could only be dreamed of.
    It took many searches for Human kind to finally made contact with a new alien species, and the result was beyond anyone could expect. A new race, 'new humans', or so they're called, due to the extreme similarity in their DNA.
    But with HuZryss now in turmoil by civil war, Captain Anara and her crew will have to fight against time to go back to earth and save the planet.
    The author writing style is very straightforward, absolutely engaging and overall he comes across as passionate as knowledgeable about the subject without ever being pedantic.
    On a side note, this is the second book in what I believe it to be a trilogy. However the author does a good job in the first pages to five a gist of the situation so far and the book can easily be enjoyed as a standalone.
    A real fast-paced, page-turner sci-fi adventure that I'd recommend to anyone looking for a stimulating, action-packed read, not just fan of the genre.
