Book Review: Science Fiction - Human Experimentation

Santiago Contreras' New Management is a science fiction thriller that builds upon thematic elements of alien progenitors, dangerous trans human experimentation, multiple dimensions, and the anti-New World Order. New Management is certainly a worthwhile read for all Sci-Fi fans, space/alien aficionados, and anyone who wants to be spellbound by the sheer force of this novel.

One aspect of the novel that resonates strongly is the gradual build-up, or disquieting progression of the book. There is a distinctly dark undertone at the beginning that grows and grows, imbued with ignorance and arrogance that culminate in demonic possession. A fascinating aspect of New Management is the creativity with the character nomenclature each character one with whom the reader can identify. Also, Contreras implements a unique "first-name" only style--for most of the characters--that provides intrigue and added emphasis to the plot.

The main character of New Management, Jobe, is a double-crossing, lawless nineteen-year-old with no regard for people. However, a wrinkle to his character is that he essentially leads two lives: one in which he is a bona fide criminal--robbing drug dealers in Detroit, Michigan--and the other where he portrays the ideal son, smart and with a bright future ahead of him.

When Jobe finds himself facing a UFO, or so he thinks, he becomes a man possessed, in search of the truth. In fact, he loses himself to such an extent that he creates a pact with the dark underworld of Luciferic Technology. What happens from there is chilling and profoundly dark, but done in a mesmerizing manner that it is sure to captivate.

On a holistic level, New Management is a book about peaking curiosity and a lack of control, ultimately succumbing to our darkest, innermost characteristics. However, Contreras' overarching theme is one of awakening, or resurrection.

Ultimately, this is a harrowing tale of deceit and lies, on a otherworldly level, and a grand battle between dark forces and the inherent goodness of man. While New Management was never intended for an Audience, its journey from darkness into the lights of the readers' homes is eerily indicative of the theme of the text itself. Contreras leaves his readers with this message: "Grow more flowers," and while it can be interpreted in myriad ways, it exudes positive energy--a return to innocence and true liberation. This book can be ordered at Amazon.com and everywhere books are sold.
