This book is an eclectic collection of short
stories, thirteen in all. The reader can
find a wide range of evocative emotions while moving from story to story. Each of the stories is a snippet of human
experience ranging from sad to hilarious and to deeply moving. The author spends time in slapstick humor,
philosophical musings and observation of the human condition. Each story has
its own mood and course. There is no
particular direction to this anthology of short stories because each story has
its own character. The author has
encapsulated many angles on the view of life.
The book is a short read but one which will pull the reader through each
story with curiosity for what the next story might offer. There are rewards in finishing each.
This book begins with two worlds at war in the same
solar system. A pair of individuals from
both adversary planets flee to earth for protection from their own orbiting
spheres with thoughts of revenge against each other. The story follows their tribulations on how
they try to adapt to their new and strange environs. Conflict from these two planets manifests
itself on earth and a struggle ensues. This
quarrel ends up to be a deadly endeavor which is unknown to all on earth except
for one man who is, for various reasons, very invested in finding the aliens. There are six principle characters that fill
the story with intrigue and put into word the direction of the novel.
The resolution of the struggle between the aliens is
in doubt to the very end.
