And those big robots? They’ll make you feel small.In the gripping sequel to Sleeping Giants, Sylvain Neuvel’s innovative series about human-alien contact takes another giant step forward. Its format will pull you in and its surprises will keep you coming back for more. The Themis Files trilogy is a high-concept, page-turning science fiction thriller that is full of unexpected revelations. It keeps the pacing at a breakneck speed and puts the reader right in the action. The story unfolds through these interview transcripts as well as journal entries and news reports. Rose and her team are being interviewed by an all-knowing nameless interrogator (who also happens to be very snarky). One of the ways the Themis Files stands out is the format.
A healthy dose of mind-bending scientific and philosophical speculation goes along with the action and it opens up worlds of possibility. Soon the aliens’ intentions are made abundantly clear and it results in an action-packed, unputdownable thrill ride that might just doom humanity. As the series goes along, the suspense builds and the stakes only get higher. The series continues with Waking Gods and concludes with Only Human. It begs the question, if humans couldn’t have made this giant, then who did? And if aliens left the giant behind, was it to protect the planet or cause mass destruction? Carbon dating of the body parts defies belief and the technology necessary to create the giant robot doesn’t exist.
She leads a top secret team to crack the hand’s code and find the remaining pieces of the colossal robot.
Seventeen years later, Rose is now a highly trained physicist and the mystery of the bizarre artifact remains unsolved. A girl named Rose Franklin is riding her new bike when she falls through the earth and lands on a giant metal hand – a hand that is surrounded by panels of glowing intricate carvings. The trilogy kicks off with Sleeping Giants. Does humanity stand a chance? Enter the Themis Files. Aliens exist and their technology is far more advanced than we could ever envision.
