Emergence eBook Nick M Lloyd
Wish I had written this. This story scratched an itch I have had for a long time. Lloyd created a complex story around the occasional observation that sometimes very unlikely things seem to happen, sometimes even failing a chi-squared test (read the book - he is quite facile with statistics as well as some of the more mystical aspects of quantum mechanics). The story puts several people, several aliens and several worlds in play - Lloyd is not afraid to think big. I enjoyed the interplay among the humans and the aliens and each other. My only reservation was the side story involving a third planet that kind of fizzled out and did not seem to have a bearing on the main story or its conclusion. But, if there it to be a sequel that draws on that side story I will certainly pick it up.Product details

Emergence eBook Nick M Lloyd Reviews
The Gadium Emergence Committee ‘manages’ the transformation of other planets to a higher evolutionary state. When a group inspired by a survivor of a car crash threatens to discover this process too early, the team assigned to manage the Earth’s ‘emergence’ has to try to stop them. To further complicate things, another faction on Gadium is bent on perverting the process.
It took a few chapters to grip me, but once it did, I couldn’t put it down.
The book is reminiscent of the Culture Novels in that it involves a clash between the Earth and a far more advanced Alien society. At the start, some of the early conversations on Gadium were a bit opaque, but as the story unfurls, its society and its political shenanigans flesh out in a satisfying way. In the meantime the antics of Louise, Jeff and Mike kept my interest. They were engaging, believable characters.
The names of the some of the aliens were peculiarly human. Some terms like beta, alpha and triple alpha were never explained fully though their general meaning are relatively easy to infer. However, these minor quibbles didn’t diminish my enjoyment of the book.
This is a novel that will definitely appeal to the sci-fi aficionado. It has ultra-intelligent Triple-Alpha aliens from Gadium monitoring new worlds via their spaceship with the initial intent to assist them to evolve into the emergent state. It seems Earth falls a little short since most of us fall into the normal Beta category and before our world can be considered for Emergence, most of the population must advance to the more intelligent Alpha state.
There is a separate issue involving a local reporter who has a serious hang-up about a rich fellow who seems to repeatedly squeeze out of tough spots. They use the term "focusable luck" and this unusually lucky streak is noted by the aliens utilizing data receptors and mini-robots they have secretly placed across the globe.
Great story, but I did find the extreme life spans of the Triple-Alphas and the unbelievably long space journeys hard for me to really comprehend.
Every once in a while there is a book that just grabs my attention and keeps it. I hadn't quite expected that from Nick Lloyd's Emergence. It seems to be written in the style of a procedural suspense thriller. This tends to create the air of Hard Science Fiction and thankfully not the difficult kind of hard. Well, maybe some difficult if you try to include the many worlds interpretation. I almost thought it would slip away from me when I was forced to focus heavily on the alien race. The world of Jack and Louise was becoming so entertaining that I didn't really want to take a break to examine the Gadium in the ship above Earth and certainly not the ones far off in space at other worlds.
There are a number of ways to handle alien races in a Science Fiction novel. One of those ways is to try to make everyday life and dialogue sound like us. Sometimes that choice can make the story a bit less than palatable. In Emergence it helped a lot, because there's a lot to get to know about these aliens before the climax of the story. What brings them here; and why they have come all this way only to watch. Much of this gets answered and even more questions the reader hasn't thought to ask. The procedural nature of the story is not limited to the Earth half of the story and the reader should be ready to learn a lot about the procedural nature of the aliens who watch.
But, to be honest, what I liked about Emergence is the characters. I had resolved that I was going to be concentrating on the colorful characters of all the Earth Humans. The animosity between Jack and Louise drive the story. Louise might not have begun her investigation, but for the conflict she'd been having with Jack. The dynamic duo of Jeff and Mike as college professors and the main researchers within the story are a good foil for Louise's hard nosed investigative reporting. But that was quickly derailed by the scenes depicting the initial discomfort between the aliens Aytch and Justio, which expands as the reader finds there are dissenters in the most perfect ranks of the great race.
At one point I was almost ready to let the story guide me into the look and feel of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. But this never got to the level of silliness of Douglas Adam's work. This seems to stay in the more serious vein perhaps like X-files. One would think that since the aliens are mostly there to watch that it would be pretty boring. For the most part the reader is initially led to believe it is pretty sedate; but soon, with the potential for internal strife, things begin to get interesting.
It takes a while for the reader to come to grips with the rules that the Gadium must abide by while observing the Emergence. It's those rules that set the stage for most of the story's conflicts. It's those rules and the Gadium belief that they are doing the right thing that lead to some pretty strange occurrences. Eventually everyone will be in a race against time to complete missions that all seem to be at odds with each other.
It's easy to start picking sides but it becomes confusing when the reader has to take into consideration that one or the other of the Gadium factions has to dominate and when that happens then the conflict becomes between them and the humans and neither of the former two are a good choice for that ultimate conflict and the humans are being set up to mostly lose in any situation.
When it gets to the final solutions the readers is left satisfied; but the final judgment will be that there will likely be more to this story.
This is well written well paced Procedural Science Fiction that waxes Hard most of the time though the seeming theoretical nature of Many Worlds Interpretation will stretch some readers suspension of disbelief.
You need to read this to see what I mean and you shouldn't be disappointed.

This book took the "Many Worlds Interpretation" from quantum mechanics and explored some of the social implications of an advanced alien civilization which has some citizens with the super-power abilities to exploit this view of reality. I love the concept and the discussion about the meaning of the individual soul. I found the characters interesting too. The "emergent"caste system of Betas, Alphas, and Triple Alphas reminds me that people who are intellectually advanced and superior, will always be motivated to manipulate and impose their will on people of lesser or inferior abilities. But I definitely enjoyed the extrapolations of quantum mechanics and the harnessing of that superior knowledge.
