Books with title Beware The Dark Side

In 2168, humans have colonized several nearby star systems. In the Tau Epsilon system, on the third moon of the gas giant Delphi, the colony of Avalon sits as humanity’s furthest colony yet, and while it has thrived and grown, it will soon face a situation that none had predicted or prepared for. A young lieutenant, part of a military detachment sent to Avalon to investigate suspected weapons smuggling and assess an unidentified contact that has hidden among the orbiting asteroid belt, is eager to prove herself to her superiors. The commander of the small military force, a hardened veteran with a sordid past, whose stake in the mission is as much personal as professional. And a nervous analyst with a kind heart, who struggles to navigate daily life with his anxieties; he, and the others, must contend with the appearance of aliens, the first ever encounter for humanity. Given no chance for diplomacy, the people of Avalon must fight to survive the invasion.

And they find that one step could indeed change their lives.Cheryl Wilfred's The Dark Side provides a rollicking good read for audiences ages 7-12 and is a notable achievement for several reasons; not the least of which is that its young author achieved what few others her age have accomplished: writing a publishable fantasy adventure when she was only nine years old.Cheryl's inclusion of a host of seemingly disparate forces succeeds in creating different and unexpected threads of involvement and weaving a story that ties all of them together with twists, turns, and action. Characters are well drawn, time is taken to outline dilemmas, motivations, and to explain seeming diversions in logic, and the overall flavor is of a whimsical and light fantasy that is clearly intended for younger fantasy audiences. - D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review.

"Cheryl Wilfred's The Dark Side provides a rollicking good read for audiences ages 7-12 and is a notable achievement for several reasons; not the least of which is that its young author achieved what few others her age have accomplished: writing a publishable fantasy adventure when she was only nine years old. Now eleven, Cheryl is seeing the book's actual publication thanks to Amazon's publishing platform; and to say that her story rivals many an adult writer's work for young adult audiences would be a fair assessment of her ability to spin an involving yarn and see it through to a satisfying conclusion. Cheryl''s inclusion of a host of seemingly disparate forces succeeds in creating different and unexpected threads of involvement and weaving a story that ties all of them together with twists, turns, and action. Characters are well drawn, time is taken to outline dilemmas, motivations, and to explain seeming diversions in logic, and the overall flavor is of a whimsical and light fantasy that is clearly intended for younger fantasy audiences (most young adult fantasies suffer from overly complex tales designed to reach into adult circles: clearly, The Dark Side is perfect for its intended age group and does not attempt to straddle the line between young adult and adult readers). The Dark Side's strengths lie in its bubbly interactions between protagonists, its specific writing suitable for ages 7-12, and a whimsical approach that lends refreshingly unexpected turns to an other world encounter. The fact that Courtney Brown and her friend are realistic, well-developed protagonists, and thoughtful adventurers who don't just react to life circumstances, but use creative problem-solving techniques in the process of making a difference in two worlds provides a story that is lively and fun." -D.
