Beneath the surface. Beneath the surface, #2

This is a hard science look at what past mythological characters could of been. This book hands the reader keys to this world up front. To take a hard look at how each character operates. The world building is next to none with a use of actual mythological figures and gives them deeply human and personal emotions to the point of haunting the reader long after they have put down the book. This is more than your standard fairytale story as the stakes are way too personal and the ending of the book will give you a all new perspective on life.
But inherently this book is a work of fiction with the use of hard science structures to give the book more personality and realism that tap into our very human emotions.
