Synopsis
"Heaven, Hell, and their true intentions."
Alezair Czynri, an immortal being with no memory of his past, embarks on a journey with a mysterious woman claiming to be a resident of Purgatory. Through her, Alezair learns many secrets behind the universe, and eventually begins to realize this woman knows more about him than he initially thought.
Incorporating modern and ancient religion, philosophy, and even physical science, the series is a dark tale that compares the flaws and benefits of the human race to more complex forms of intelligence beyond our known world.

"Interesting!" permalink
The initial concept behind ‘The Antithesis’ is intriguing, and comes across as ‘Dollhouse’ meets ‘Dogma’ with some time travel thrown in at first glance. Our main character, Alezair is a ‘marionette’ owned by the Nexus, whose mission is hijacked by a mysterious woman. Currently, the story as at 3 chapters, and will be updated once weekly.
The dialogue is fun and interesting,…Read More
"time travelling, non-humans and political machinations" permalink
It is hard to classify The Antithesis. I would say, so far, it is a supernatural sci-fi horror with undertones of romance. I hesitated between giving this story 7 or 8 stars as there isn’t much up yet (only 6 chapters) and I was a little hesitant about rating something highly with so little up. But The Antithesis has strong writing, interesting characters, and is overall a promising beginning,…Read More

Currently, I’ve read three of the four chapters that are up in this serialized novel. A new chapter is being published every Friday. The story so far follows two characters, Alezair and Leid, as they travel through different time periods. Alezair is infatuated with the mysterious Leid after their first meeting during a battle in 1180 A.D era Jerusalem. From there he finds her again but this time during the Sengoku period of Japan. Once again both characters are engaged in battle but so much more is happening as the writer develops the characters and mystery that surrounds both of them. The writer’s ability to describe action sequences is some of the best I’ve read. Historical events paired with this descriptive writing style, I get a sense of being transported to where the characters are as Alezair works to undercover clues about himself and why he keeps running into Leid during history altering events. I think this is a big clue for where the story is heading as in Chapter Three we get to sit down with Leid in a modern day club. The chapter leaves us hanging as Alezair convinces Leid to tell him what exactly she is. As Leid says, “Just remember, you asked.” I can’t help but grab Alezair’s hand and jump head first into whatever Leid has in store for us.
I’d like to thank the author for a wonderful start to a book that I’ll be inserting into my busy schedule. Now I’m off to find out what is in store for Alezair as I begin Chapter Four.
Thanks,
Charlie
