Gregg Davidson

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Gregg Davidson has been a professor of Geology & Geological Engineering since 1996, specializing in hydrology and geochemistry, and serving for many years as the department chair. His professional writing is divided between the purely scientific (usually tied in some way to water), and the intersection of science and Christian faith. On the strictly science side, he loves to get away from the office with some regularity, whether wading chest deep in a cypress swamp, or rushing to the levee when the mighty Mississippi spills over its banks. On matters of faith and science, Gregg has a passion for understanding and communicating the harmony (or at least lack of conflict) that exists between the Bible and modern science.

Gregg’s works of fiction are the product of an early morning routine that includes a hot mug of coffee and an hour of self-indulgent writing. No contracts or deadlines. Just the fun of starting with the barest idea of a story, and becoming a participant in the plot as it unfolds in unexpected ways.

Hard to put this book down, light reading turns into mind trip pretty quickly
Full disclosure, I kind of know the author, a friend of a friend. When I saw that he wrote a sci-fi trilogy I immediately picked up the first volume here on Amazon. I knew he had written other publications related to his trade, he is a college geology professor and hydrologist but was surprised by the style and creativity of his fictional writing. Since I was only expecting some light reading it took me on a mind trip for the first several twists where sci-fi almost changes genres and left me wanting to get right back into this story as soon as the second volume comes out.

5.0 out of 5 stars A unique Earth invasion
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2021
Verified Purchase
This is a unique work of science fiction with some underlying spiritual elements. The clever plot line involves what is essentially an invasion of Earth by beings from another universe that have human-like characteristics but with a “4th dimension” that renders them basically invisible to humans when they are in that dimension. These beings are unable to return to their home universe and are bent on finding a way to eradicate Earth’s population in order to make the planet their new home.
Chapter sections are short and the story moves along at a fairly brisk pace. Despite the numerous individuals in the book, the author made some effort at character development in some of the key players in the story.
The book builds to a suspenseful ending that leaves the reader ready to immediately move on to book 2 of what is billed as a 3 book series. I’m wondering how Earthlings are going to find a way to fight back at the “invisible” enemy, and exactly how the spiritual element of the backstory will be developed. Quite an enjoyable read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lewis Would Have Been A Fan
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2019
Verified Purchase
C. S. Lewis said that he couldn't stand science fiction that simply took a romance, detective story or thriller and put it in outer space. If you're going to invoke an imagined future, other worlds or alien intelligence, he suggested, then for heaven's sake make sure it serves your story. Lewis would not have liked Asimov as much as I do. But in correspondence with friends he often raved about David Lindsay's "Voyage to Arcturus" and Arthur C. Clarke's "Childhood's End." When I finished Gregg Davidson's "Shadows of the End," I knew this was a work that Lewis would have recommended to everybody. The stunning achievement of this book is that it takes moral themes, and the seeming supernatural character of extra-dimensionality imposing itself on lower dimensions, and a coldly compelling view of humanity from a non-human source, and weaves them all into a true Asimovian page-turner. It pains me to reveal in the interests of honest disclosure that Gregg is an old friend of mine. But personal friendship did not cloud Lewis's accurate evaluation of Tolkien's trilogy as "good beyond hope."

5.0 out of 5 stars An invasion like no other!
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2018
Verified Purchase
This was a thoroughly enjoyable read. I was drawn in by the characters immediately and continued to be throughout this first volume. My imagination was stretched in following the additional boundaries of Mulapin existence. The scope of the story on earth is global, universal in origin. The motives and nature of humanity are both explored and exploited. “Shadows” is clever, challenging, plausible and a page turner. I will be purchasing the next book as soon as it is released. I also love supporting an independent author
and hope others will as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Sci-Fi
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2020
Verified Purchase
This book gripped me pretty hard from the start. The author is an experienced writer of non-fiction and numerous published scientific papers. This foray into science fiction presents earth invaded by aliens who have casual ability to move into a fourth dimensions. They then begin to manipulate humanity to serve their own interests. Very engrossing book. At $1 it's a steal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating First-Contact Scenario, Couldn't Put It Down
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2023
The trilogy starts with an intriguing twist on the classic Flatland theme of multiple dimensions, cast in an alien first-contact scenario. As the story begins, we meet a set of aliens fleeing an oppressive government, who, through a fluke, find themselves orbiting a green-blue gem (i.e., Earth). The story evolves through multiple well-developed characters both alien and human). The skillfully-woven threads of interactions between various characters provide a cascading series of challenges and failings (both of humans and of aliens). The multi-dimensional conflation with a soft spiritual context is a very interesting twist. By the time I was part way through the first volume, I was totally hooked and couldn't wait to read the next two volumes. Very interesting read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2021
A great book that provides some insight into human behavior and how our actions might be perceived by others. Specifically how we can be influenced to do things we think are good for us, without fully thinking through the consequences.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2019
Part Screwtape Letters, part War of the Worlds, Shadows of the End is built on an intriguing concept with plenty of depth to spare. Once you get started, you will not want to stop. Davidson puts an original spin on familiar sci-fi concepts of space travel and alien civilizations and uses them to explore the most basic attributes of our human nature. Should you trust that voice in your head? Read the book and find out.
