Down Below Beyond takes readers on an exhilarating journey through a vast and captivating universe, expertly crafted by T. A. Bruno, the author behind the award-winning Song of Kamaria trilogy. Set on the planet Tayoxe, the story revolves around Levort Aatra, a skilled prospector whose life takes an unexpected turn when he stumbles upon a mysterious starship in the desolate wastelands. Levort’s decision to claim the enigmatic vessel as his own unwittingly draws the attention of dangerous forces, setting in motion a chain of events that will test his courage, resourcefulness, and determination. As he navigates through a world teeming with fascinating alien species, celestial bodies, and interdimensional gateways, Levort finds himself entangled in a web of secrets and perilous encounters.

One of the book’s notable strengths lies in its meticulous attention to detail when crafting the setting. Bruno skillfully transports readers to a fantastical world brimming with unique landscapes and vibrant cultures. Through vivid descriptions and atmospheric prose, the author brings this underground realm to life, leaving readers in awe of its unknown wonders and breathtaking landscapes. The depth and intricacy of the world-building are truly commendable, and readers will find themselves completely immersed in this mesmerizing realm. The characters are well-developed and even though there are many characters the author provides an alien glossary at the beginning of the book to reference when needed. Each individual possesses their own distinctive traits and motivations, lending depth and authenticity to the story. I particularly enjoyed Levort and Bayfo’s friendship and I was rooting for them throughout the book.

Down Below Beyond is a thrilling science fiction novel that seamlessly combines imaginative world-building with well-crafted characters. It offers a reading experience that is both captivating and enthralling. I recommend this book to enthusiasts of sci-fi who are eager to embark on an intriguing journey through a mesmerizing underground realm alongside its compelling characters.
