In THE ROOM we witnessed the love that Harry had for his daughters. We watched him struggle to find his self-worth again after a divorce, and meet a woman who helped him find it. In TO YOUR OWN SELF BE TRUE we saw a young woman, Kaela, searching for her "it" in life; that which will make her happy, and a father who reached through the void to show her what he believed was most important. In BURNISHED BRIDGE we saw a man who believes we are the way for the universe to know itself. He risked everything at the loss of love, but the universe had different plans. In Eyes In This World, love is once again at the center of the story. We learn that there is no force in any reality more powerful. Five people searching science for the answer, but all of them were finding it within themselves.
Summary from author, - Tyler R. Tichelaar: "The science fiction aspects of this book are fascinating to me because they supersede stories of people flying around in spaceships in other galaxies. Instead, they are real people with real problems who might be my own friends or family members. For this reason, I think Ray Melnik really pushes against the boundaries of the science fiction genre to create realistic, dramatic, and emotional stories.--------- Love pervades all of Melnik's stories. It is only in human relationships we can really hope to find meaning, and as a result, at the heart of each of these novels, Melnik has revealed truths about love and human relationships that will bring realizations about life to readers and may even move them to tears. In the end, Melnik shows how the power of the heart is what can make a difference to our lives amid all that we cannot understand. If you love science fiction, you're in for a treat with "Eyes in This World," and if you have avoided science fiction in the past because it felt too unrealistic, you've now found the right author to read. Begin with the first book and read all four of them, and instead of being overwhelmed, you will have a new appreciation for science and the universe it explores."
