I already finished one book and I
like to talk about it.
It calls “The fifth day”, I
started to read it at September and I have finished recently. It’s a big book,
with almost 1000 pages (I think it’s the biggest book I have never red) and
also lately I have not enough time to read because of the studies.
I like to read and I have enjoyed
this book. It is a sciences fiction book but all what is say in it is scientifically
correct. It’s can be say that is a scientific book and I think it's very good documented, too.
It talks about a set of
characters that are investigating some strange success that take place in the
world, especially in the oceans. All start with a poor fisherman who disappeared
without any track. From here every time strange things happen in the oceans,
seems that the nature turns against humanity.
There are invasions of poisonous
algae, animals become aggressive and start to attack humans and their boats.
Suddenly all the whales seem that are mad and hit and skin the sailor boats. A
lot of poisoner jellyfish and contaminated crabs invade all the coast and kill
the people. And is discovered a strange worm in the deep sea that destroys the
seafloor and causes leakage of methane. For his fault there are some tsunamis
that destroy Europe.
The world drive crazy, nobody
knows what is happening in the ocean and what is happening with animals.
The sea is unnavigable but has to be something that is causing all this bad.
Finally the government of USA
tries to take the control of the situation. They create a group with the best
investigators and scientific that there are in the world and try to investigate
what is happening. Little by little they discover a lot of things. The real
threat came from the deeps. There exist unicellular creatures that they never
had been seen. They are smart creatures and are trying to eliminate the
humanity from the world because are damage the Earth.
This new creatures are very
intelligent. Are like a real society and exist from the principles of the earth.
But they are not like the humans and don’t have awareness. Eliminate the
humanity is only a survival instinct.
Finally the scientific can save
the word deceiving the unicellular. But it cost them the live of some and it
isn’t a solution forever. Henceforth humans should care the earth and learn to
coexist with the rest of the species.
I think it’s an entertaining
story and full of suspense and unknowns. When you find out that exist another
smart specie is fantastic because it’s an extraordinary fact. At the other hand
they are trying to get out of humanity and seem a little evil but really they
are keeping the specie.
All characters are very
intelligent and have interesting theories. There are scientific from different
specialties and I like when they are investigating in the laboratories and
after they put all in common and draw conclusions.
Besides an interesting and
original story it’s for think about what are we doing with the earth. The
humans think that the world is own and we only look for ourselves. We don’t
understand the coexistence with other species or with the oceans. We damage all
and it means that we are damaging ourselves, too. Because we are habitats of
the earth and we destroys it.
The author is Frank Schätzing.
He’s music, music producer, have an advertising agency and he writes, too. He
is an expert diver and because it they had wrote this book. In my opinion, the
story is enough good so that there is a film. It could have good scenes!
So I recommend this book and invite to enjoy it
like I have enjoyed. Probably is more interesting for someone who likes
biologics because is discussed and there are some things that can seem a little
boring if you don’t like. In any case I think that everybody can read it,
although it’s quiet large.
