Z and A Chemistry Review
Z and A Chemistry ReviewZ and A Chemistry are a fantastic way to enjoy science fiction novels in their fullness. While not the most technical of books, they are intriguing, with a great deal of adventure and mystery. As a result, they provide a very different feel from other science fiction novels, with an energy that sets them apart from the genre.Z and A Chemistry is a high fantasy novel, set on the planet Oasis. The planet is home to an empire ruled by a fierce and self-indulgent queen. Her daughter, Kamel, is the princess who has fallen in love with a fellow empire crew member, Vermig, while on the ship. When the queen learns that Vermig will marry Kamel, she orders the ship's captain, Zaki, to stop the marriage.Z and A Chemistry do not take much from the sci-fi genre; it only borrows the basic concepts. The world is a similar one to that of Vorkosigan, and there are several similar aspects: entire planets which have shifted sides in a war between nations, humans as the dominant species, and empires. While some elements are adapted from Vorkosigan, the book still feels unique and original.Z and A Chemistry follow the story of Vermig, Kamel, and the last surviving family members. While part of the family is sent on a journey to another planet, a large part finds themselves stranded on Oasis. There they find a planet that might have been home to humanity, and there they find all the hope they can ever need.There is a difference between this book and many others in the genre. Instead of trying to explain things in an abstract way, Z and A Chemistry focus on explaining a story in the most detailed way possible. The world is fully developed, and there are different points of view through which the story takes place. There is a first person viewpoint, which allows the reader to experience the characters' emotions as the story unfolds.Z and A Chemistry do a great job of describing the action, and this helps the reader to visualize the actions the characters are ta king. It is no easy task, but it is done well. In addition, there is a second person point of view which also adds an additional dimension to the story. It allows the reader to witness and experience the events in a different manner.There are two distinct differences between the story and that of Vorkosigan. First, it is set a thousand years before the events of the series. This gives the reader a different perspective than the reader can get from reading Vorkosigan. Second, Z and A Chemistry are written as a novel, rather than a collection of short stories.Z and A Chemistry are easily one of the best science fiction novels I have ever read. It is fast paced, engaging, and packed with action and suspense. It is a science fiction classic in its own right.
