About the author:
Rob is an engineer who has spent years working in various
global companies. He is a keen traveler who has so far covered sixteen
countries. This helps fulfill his desire to understand the local language and
customs, and realize the further we go, the closer we humans come to each
other.
He has penned professional articles and is a frequent public
speaker on management and human resources. He has also written short stories in
science fiction and fantasy. He believes that the future of humanity is bright;
there are many more scientific discoveries yet to be made.
With over two decades of experience working in the fields of
science, he understands the anxiety this poses to the general reader who is at
risk of getting lost in the jargon. Therefore, his foremost desire is to
simplify the concepts of science and present them in the form of narratives
that the readers will not find overwhelming. He spends hours thoroughly
researching his selected themes and then weaves his tales around them. He hopes
that these stories will ignite the imagination of the readers and take them
into uncharted realms of science fiction.

REVIEW
Narration
The Veiled Universe is a collection of 11 Sci-Fi ‘cosmic
tales’ taking you through the ‘potential’ realities of this veiled universe
that we are trying to discover since time itself. So these are just
possibilities but are actually directly or indirectly based on the facts and
discoveries till date and that’s because the author has sound knowledge of physics
and space because of his twenty years’ experience with fields of science.
Also, most of the tales involve advanced science and
technology because discoveries wouldn’t be possible otherwise. Talking about
the writing style, it was fabulous and stories well researched. Despite stories
being very complex in nature, there were not any loopholes, at least I couldn’t
find any. Each story was well-plotted and executed. As being a student of
science, I had no difficulties understanding scientific laws and the nature of
celestial objects. However, I don’t think that really would affect any reader’s
experience as long as they enjoy Sci-Fi genre.
Location and Setting
Some tales are set on earth and others in the space. There
are a few tales that focus on the nature of Black Holes. These tales span the
whole observable universe and a few major objects or astronomical bodies like
stars and galaxies. About time, I remember the Year 2320 in the book, so yes it can
be from future and also from past as one story is about Time Travelling.
Theme
As we can see already, science and technology have
dramatically changed our ways of life. We are discovering something new in
space every once in a while which leaves humans shook and we humans are
continuously inventing something new to understand the universe. But is that so
easy? Back to the cosmic tales. In these tales, humans, aliens and even objects
that we think, don’t have a brain to think, are on a mission. The mission of
discovery, interplanetary wars, a heist in space, saving planets, etc. As the
cover says, YOU. WILL. BELIEVE. I believed it all and trust me these sci-fi
tales are not just usual novels you might be reading, but these actually give
answers to our quest of the universe. Also, the author Rob Garnet has covered everything from
how would machines make everything easy and effortless, to the dangers of
overusing the resources we have been extracting from the stars and universe.
The universe is veiled and we may
never really know all its secrets.
My Opinion
I am really an astrophile, I love observing the sky, I wait for
the meteor showers every year, I like spotting satellites using an app in my
phone, I always point out to Jupiter and tell everyone about it. Ah, that’s enough.
So, if I would be reading more of sci-fi or anything related to space, the universe
then thanks to Rob Garnet. He made me revive my curiosity about the freaking
universe and all that I have been thinking and assuming about the same. I loved
this book and I would recommend to anyone who has the same interests.
Happy Reading!
