Saga of Evil #1
Seed of Evil
THE SAGA OF EVIL BEGINS…
From a distant galaxy far beyond our time, the most ancient of all EVIL awoke before descending upon our unsuspecting galaxy. The planet it reached never faced such a threat, but didn’t submit to it, either. In a final attempt to survive, a prison between dimensions was built, the last hope to hold the DARK POWER for an eternity. The planet withered and died, and its people found a new refuge among the stars. That planet is now known as: Mars.
But even eternity doesn’t last forever. Ignorance and an infantile arrogance of a nation leads to its release. And once again, it only leaves death in its wake.
Read the fast-paced Sci-Fi/Horror, where the elements of OCCULT meet with an advanced MILITARY thriller, wrapped in a colossal battle between good and evil.
The first part of a new, long-awaited Saga, from the internationally renowned author of “The Darkness Within” will give you a gulp of a SMASH HIT and will leave you wanting more…

Since the beginning of their time on the planet, human beings have been driven to explore and discover. While this has certainly led to many fascinating discoveries, it has also often been the catalyst for hardship and pain. Greed and the need for dominance has frequently overcome the natural tendency of human curiosity. Knowing all this, it is no great surprise that space and the many other planets it contains are seen as an excellent new frontier to explore. However, what if during this exploration something is uncovered which was never intended? Digging too deep and thus unleashing an evil which nightmares are made of. In his book Seeds of Evil, author Robert Friedrich presents this very scenario. Readers who like their Science Fiction mixed with a strong dose of horror may find this story fits like a glove.
Essentially, the story follows the escapades of the protagonist, C.J. Phoenix, otherwise known as Corey. First meeting a badly injured Corey in a hospital room, he proceeds to recount how he came to be in such a poor state. Belonging to a squad of misfit, but deadly marines, Corey and his squad are sent to the colony of Mars. All contact has been lost with this settlement and their task is to find out what happened. The crew soon discover that this is anything but a straightforward mission. Deep and invasive mining has unleashed something on Mars which could spell the end for more than just the colonists! Will Corey and his squad of lethal marines successfully thwart this seed of evil which is germinating? Or is their ultimate doom already a foregone conclusion?
This is undoubtedly a story which is full of fast-paced action which is laced with horrific elements. In fact, the action begins at the very outset and continues until the end. The scenes are visual and graphic, and at times it feels akin to being right inside a video game. The tale certainly has a "Doom" flavor to it which is even accompanied by "levelling up." We are able to see this occurring with Corey as he kills various creatures and then obtains new, and more deadly powers. If this is the type of book which you are seeking, then you will not be disappointed. However, for me personally, there was just not enough story development. It is lacking any type of detailed progression. We are immersed in a climax of action from start to finish without a lot of background or build-up. Due to this fact, I found that I just didn't really care as a reader. I was never able to become truly invested in the story as I just did not get captured by any background or building of relationships which otherwise would typically occur. That in turns significantly limits the suspense and thus engagement in the tale.
In regards to characters, there is some description for the squad of marines at the outset of the story. As a reader, you are eagerly anticipating what this crack team will be able to do. Without giving away the plot, let me just say that this does not occur. Once again, as a reader I was unable to develop any emotional attachment to the characters. They are just not memorable. As the protagonist, Corey is really the only character we are able to truly see develop at all. However, the video game endless action flavor of this story stunted and overcame any character growth that could have taken place.
While this story did not appeal to me personally, there is definitely and audience and market for it. Seed of Evil reads like a role-playing video game and it delivers intense action from start to finish. A science-fiction, horror and dystopian mix all rolled into one. If that is the type of genre and story you like, then it will deliver.

We meet our main character Corey in the hospital. I like hospital character intros, Walking Dead, Kill Bill and even my work introduces the main character in the hospital. It creates a lot of suspense early on. But before meeting the main character we also get a quick info dump of where the story is set and what type of world its set in and I liked how it was executed via the computer we had to wait for while it loaded.
A squad, including Corey, is sent to Mars to…”check things out”. I think we all know sending soldiers into space leads to violence. The author sort of throws in a character manual that list the name of the soldiers and their profiles. It came off a bit video game-ish, but this reads like a video game and it’s a short so he didn’t have enough space to drag out character intros.
Violence erupts on the planet and if you’re a gamer, I suppose you can say they encounter boss fight after boss fight.
The author included Corey’s thoughts throughout the chapters and I enjoyed those parts the most. It was a moment of calm and I got to learn a bit about the main character. Hell, I even liked the font style he used for the thought entries.Chapter five does a great job building up for a second part. Corey’s badass.

Robert Friedrich's Seed of Evil: An Ancient Evil Rises is the first part of the Saga of Evil series. This short novel was a nice surprise for me, because it's one of the few fast-paced science fiction horror novels that are genuinely entertaining and thrilling. I normally read literary horror fiction and weird fiction, so reading this short novel was interesting for me. In my opinion Seed of Evil: An Ancient Evil Rises is a good example of how entertaining and exciting stories independent authors are capable of writing. (It's possible that Seed of Evil: An Ancient Evil Rises may not be to everybody's liking due to its action-packed story, but it will please readers who like fast-paced stories.)
Seed of Evil: An Ancient Evil Rises is a combination of military science fiction and horror. I have to mention that I've never been a big fan of military science fiction (I'm very difficult to please when it comes to military science fiction), but this novel was of interest to me. Robert Friedrich is one of those rare authors who have been able to make me read military SF. Normally I try to avoid military SF as much as I can, because I've read quite a lot of flat military SF that repeats the genre's worst clichés over and over again without any kind of excitement and style, so it was nice to read a good story for a change.
Here's a bit of information about the story:
At the beginning of this novel Corey wakes up in a hospital room. He's been badly hurt, but he's alive. He is asked what has happened and he begins to tell his story. He and the other members of the Marine Squad were sent to investigate what had happened with the colony on Mars, because all communications and satellite links went dark, and the mining team found a temple of unknown origin in the cave...
Robert Friedrich has an interesting approach to sci-fi horror and cosmic horror. His cosmic horror differs greatly from the visions of the old and well known masters of cosmic horror, because he writes modern cosmic horror and infuses it with furious and fast-paced action, but it's easy to see that the old masters may have been a source of inspiration to him. There were a few elements in this novel that reminded me a bit of certain elements that can be found in some of the stories written by H. P. Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith.
I think it's also possible that certain computer games (Doom, Quake etc) and sci-fi horror films (Alien, The Thing etc) may have been a source of inspiration to him and have influenced his writing style. Certain scenes were reminiscent of the action scenes found in computer games.
Robert Friedrich writes clear and stark prose. I personally prefer a bit more literary and poetic prose with lush descriptions of the characters, happenings and places, but I have nothing bad to say about the author's prose, because it fits the fast-moving story perfectly.
The author has an interesting way of introducing the characters to the readers. At the beginning of the story the Lieutenant circles behind the Marines and places files before each Marine and a short description of the Marine is given to the readers.
Robert Friedrich keeps the action going strong from start to finish and knows how to keep up suspense. He writes fluently about what happens to the Marines and how they face an enemy that's beyond anything they have ever encountered before. The Marines have to fight against dead and uncontrollable bodies and bizarre creatures, so there's quite a lot of action, gore and violence in this novel.
In my opinion the author writes about Corey and his attempts to stay alive in an exciting and entertaining way. By focusing on Corey he manages to keep the story interesting, because the action scenes are described from his point of view. One of the highlights of this novel is the scene in which Corey finds a report summary and learns new things about Mars and the force of evil.
I like the way the author writes about the creatures and the Evil, because he effectively shocks his readers with new surprises. He managed to describe the creatures in an interesting way that reminded a bit of the way the monsters were introduced and seen in Ridley Scott's Alien, James Cameron's Aliens and John Carpenter's The Thing.
I give Seed of Evil: An Ancient Evil Rises four stars for its entertainment and excitement values. I can recommend this short novel to fans of fast-paced military science fiction. It will also be of interest to readers who are interested in horror stories, because it's an entertaining combination of science fiction, horror and action.
My final words are: This short novel is good and fast-paced sci-fi horror entertainment!

I'm honestly blown away by the positive reviews. I can't tell if they're well-meaning friends supporting an independent author or if the somehow mixed this up with a completely different book, but this is hands down one of the most painful attempts at writing I've read. Clocking in at 89 pages of suffering, the characters are most deeply described by their three sentence caricature introduction (i.e. "Virus, the elite hacker who hacked into all possible databases and changed his name to Virus" who also just happens to be a front-lines marine, and military leadership just accepted that an calls him Virus?) as you wade through an endless stream of ellipses, often more than once in a sentence, even following commas that the author evidently forgot to remove.
Descriptions of events don't make sense, characters flip from noticing nothing in the world to everything. The initial introduction to the horror isn't even remarked on or noticed by the characters, it's mentioned in the description that they passed a door covered in blood and scratches, which should be fairly concerning for a group of marines, in a marine base on Mars, dispatched from Earth because contact with the colony had been lost, not because everyone has been murdered. At least, as far as they're aware.
Honestly, there are so many problems with this book that it needs an editor with a grudge going through it with a fine-edged razor followed by a complete rewrite before it could be considered readable. Somehow, this wound up on a list marking it as one of the best sci-fi horror novels ever written, ahead of Stephen King, which led me to create this account so that others can keep the hour of their life that would have otherwise been wasted here. I hate the idea of discouraging an author, but this is fairly far beyond the point where constructive criticism would be useful unless that assistance came in the form of a month-long session from cover to cover.

In Seed of Evil we meet our hero Corey, C.J. Phoniex, as his squad his heading into space to find out why there was no communication from the colony on Mars. There is non stop action from the first page til the last. The overall layout of the short story is reminiscent of an action adventure video game.
After reaching the planet and discovering what appears to be a raging storm over the colony, C.J. and his company take it upon themselves to investigate the situation further. Once inside a startling realization is made as the colony once populated by humans has now been enveloped by an eclectic array of monstrosities.
The amount of action and violence elicits memories of an action adventure style of video game , in which our hero tests his mettle against a multitude of obstacles including; fodder enemies, more advanced enemies, and the loss of valued members of his team. To assist him on his journey our hero is paired with a plethora of unique weapons and abilities.
After reading Seed of Evil, I was able to walk away satisfied with the size and overall scope of the story I had been told. I am anxiously awaiting the next installment of the saga, and to see where the story takes our new found hero.

Disclaimer: I received an e-copy in exchange for an honest review.
There's a military base on Mars, and Earth has lost all contact with it. A rag-tag squad of hooligan Marines has been tasked with figuring out what happened, and they figure it's going to be just another in-and-out before they can get back to what they do best. However, this is going to be anything but an ordinary mission...
This story reminded me of bits and parts of several other sci-fi interests of mine, such as "Prometheus" and "Event Horizon," just to name a couple. It's certainly a very intriguing one, and it definitely doesn't lack for mystery and action. I don't want to say too much for risk of giving away any of the plot, but suffice it to say I would be greatly interested in reading more along this storyline, as I found it truly fascinating, especially within the last 30 pages or so.
4 stars

Terrible book. It read like a made for tv movie that featured the main characters from Aliens but took place in the DooM video game. Actually, that description makes it sound like it could be cool, but its really, really not.
I wish 0 stars was an option.

The question is . . . Is there life on Mars ?? Was there ever ?? Was it good or evil ????
Corey wakes in the hospital . . . . why is he here is only the beginning. Mars and the moon are both being colonized. Mars is being mined and while doing so they uncovered a structure that resembles a temple. As top scientist and archeological minds went to investigate something goes wrong. There has been no contact from Mars in 5 days. . . . Cory and his crew are sent to figure out what happened. They are headed on to this planet not knowing what they will encounter. Nothing prepared them for what awaited them on Mars. . . . .
Fire, smoke and desolate no visible life remained. What should be a easy search and rescue ends up being a fight for their life. As Cory's crew is picked up one by one, Cory keeps fighting with all he has. He will encounter a something so full of great and powerful evil that Cory himself will have to become much stronger with every move he makes. . . . . .

At times you could visually see the fight Cory had to endure. Cory was a very strong character and very brave ! ! ! Again what a wonderful read and still makes you wonder . . . . Was there life on mars ??

The first book of the Saga of Evil series is an action-packed sci-fi thriller that begins with a man named Corey, who wakes up in a hospital and is asked to recount his failed mission to Mars. Between short snippets of monologue from Corey, the bulk of the story unfolds as one large flashback, following Corey as he fights ancient monsters that were awakened by previous explorers.
Seed of Evil is written in the format of a kickass video game. Corey’s team is ambushed, and he is left as the sole survivor on a decimated planet where a military base once prospered. After he fights some demonic monsters, he gains mysterious powers (leveling up), and then goes on to fight bigger, badder bad guys, until he meets face to face with what one might compare to the “boss” of classic video games. This is a formula that works well with the fast pace of the book, but it is somewhat predictable.

This book is for everyone who likes to read fast paced story and fill the details on own skin. I read others reviews where people suggested, that they fill like in the game.
However when there are not such "moving pictures" as cinema, video, games as comparison, the true expression would be that the author "had drawn" the reader inside the story because of his alive and vivid style of writing.
I have to admit that there are only a few authors who have this talent - within the minimum of words to express the utmost atmosphere and feelings in such way that the reader doesn't have time to breathe.
I recommend this book for all who are not afraid to be part of such intense experience.

I liked the storyline and characters but I feel like there should have been a little more building of the relationships between the main and secondary characters, to give us readers a better connection with Corey. But in all it was a great story!
