O.o

wow... all of my recent blog is not showing.. somethings wrong with the site.. or internet i guess =.=

Anyways!

The Leviathan asked Clay to leave its body because more and more space sharks were coming into its body. The creature will surly die or damage greatly if they keep ripping the body and draw out all the oxygen left. Also the internals started to melt down like a jelly. The seeker suggested an idea to catch a bubble formed due to the internal damage to evacuate the Leviathan.
So the seeker and Clay stuck to the melting body until the bubble was formed. They were blew out to the space in a short time. But the oxygen is the bubble was not eternal and it was running out quickly.
Surprisingly, Clay and seeker found out that the sharks too, was damaged by the oxygen in the Leviathan. Then why did they get themselves into such a danger?
Clay discovered that as soon as they left the creature's body, the space sharks stopped attacking the Leviathan. It was the mad mind. It got into the sharks' head and it made them go out of control.
After the sharks were gone, they safely returned to the Leviathan again. But the captain did not welcome them. This time, the Leviathan warned them to leave now.

I actually want to her more about Alvin. All of a sudden the main character changed and now i'm about to forget about the previous stories. When will Alvin come back?

The tree of life

Now everyone knows that the mad mind is back. It is looking for Clay, for unknown reasons.
While running away from the humans, Clay and the seeker was attacked by the mad mind. They couldn't see it but the sound wave in the air was the sign of the mad mind.
The seeker decided that the earth is not safe anymore. They ran into the tree of life, which extends out onto the universe, and of course, it is huge.
For further safty, they moved into an enormous living creature called Leviathan. Inside this animal is like a small world. Many smaller creatures live and they altogether form a life pyramid.
Few days passed and Clay became very lonely. She wanted to meet just any kind of human form.
In the dark side of Leviathan, she saw a human-looking figure running pass her.

Wow. This sure is in the future. Later, Clay would know that all the creatures like the living tree or Leviathan came from the experiments of us humans. I wonder what kind of experiments were going on...

The enemy returns

As I expected, Clay attempts to run away from the city of Diaspar to find out if she is really the only one left of her kind. Another part of the reason why she ran away is because that she figured out how the new humans think of her kind as some sort of pet they made. Clay was very disappointed. Meanwhile, Alvin found out that the mad mind has truly returned. For unknown reasons, mad mind tries to find clay and harm her. Clay and the raccoon like creature(it saved clay from the lightening attack) ran away and hid in a huge body of space tree which grows near the earth.
At this point, I was slightly disappointed in Alvin and others because of how he treated Clay. I feel like Clay and I are in the same team( We would look more like clay than Alvin).

Right in the middle of the book

I just passed through the beginning of the second part. In the second part, Alvin is not quite the main character. Clay, an ur-human, losts her whole people because of the lightning attack by the mad mind. Well they assum it is the mad mind. Alvin and other people in the future look a little different from us. We are more like ur-humans. Alvin found the DNA form of the earlier humans after the earth's salvation.  As the one last ur-human in the planet, Clay get the full protection of the citizens in Lys and Diaspar. But she feels lonely and unexcepted. Even I would feel very lonely in the same situation. Beloning in a group really gives you a relief and a place to rest your heart. I think she would take the risk and run away to find out if she really is the only ur-human left in earth.

Hello! :) this is the second post about my science fiction book, Beyond the fall of Night by Arthur C.Clarke and Gregory Benford.

Many years have passed after Alvin discovers the spaceship. People finally solve the mystery from the past- the mystery of how humanity was destroyed. There was no such thing as invaders. The truth was that humans invented pure mentality, but the experiment went wrong and the pure mentality distracted people to destroy each other.

Alvin and the citizens of Diaspar and Lys rose up once again to salvage the earth.
Even though the land was still covered thickly with sand, they rebuilt many of the lost cities.

My favorite character so far is Alvin. He is the brave one, who tries to save our planet. Also he lives forever!  He would still be a boy even after centuries and centuries pass.


I think the Mad Mentality would soon come back because no prison lasts forever. Then people would have to fight it just like their ancestors did.
I seriously think that if we don't start saving energy and preserving our planet, the ocean could turn into a sea of sand.

This is the book^____________^

Beyond the Fall of Night

                Have you ever think about how the earth is going to be million centuries later?
This science fiction, called "Beyond the Fall of Night" tells us the story of the earth's future, going beyond millions and millions of years.


After our people develope the technology to go further into the space, an unknown invaders came and almost destroyed our planet. Centuries passed, and Diaspar is the one last city. Outside the city is the never ending sea of sand. There is no water left. Diaspar is maintained by the intelligent computer that controlls everything. People never tries to take the risk and discover other remaining cities. They fear that the invaders might come again if they find them attempting to rise the earth once again. But for Alvin of Loronei, the first child born in Diaspar in 4,000 years, there is no barriers. With the aid of the recorder, Rorden, Alvin escapes the suffocating closeness of the known world. When he finds another inhabited city, Lys, on the far side of the planet, he realize that two cities were ignoring each other purposely. The terror that the return of life in earth may attract the invaders again. 


Now Alvin must lead the cities to reunite in order to salvage the earth.
