Editorial Reviews

Review

"When scaled, humanoid refugees come to live on Eden, secret Terran agent, Dr. Lucy Stannis is tasked to learn as much about them as possible through the "blue" alien, Sa Kamaris. When, through various shared experiences, they fall in love, you know it might be a rocky relationship. I did love the twist at the end ofbook one, but I'm not going to tell you what it is." - Science Fiction Romance Quarterly

"A sassy human female and an arrogant, scaled alien spaceship Captain collide. What could possibly go wrong? Or go right? I really enjoyed this book. Very well written." - Slugpuppy3

From the Author

The alien Atrapako in this books are my spoof of the typical "littlegreen men" or humanoid aliens, with of course, a surprisingconvolution. They come in several colors. Keep clear of the beefy RedAtrapako, and be wary of the wily Blues! Their sharp claws mean thateven eating dinner with the aliens is a challenge for a soft-skinnedhuman.
Also, a female scientist has an important role in uncovering the secrets of the aliens and outwitting their plots.

The next book in the series, Atrapako of Eden, is "The Dragons of Vkani"

Rich M.

Pretty solid independent novel.

January 21, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This was an enjoyable read, but really more of a romance than a science fiction story, as the focus is on a relationship between a somewhat independent and headstrong female human scientist and a monstrous reptilian alien. The aliens are erstwhile colonists, looking for a new home and happen upon the planet Eden, which has already been colonized by people from Terra. Naturally, there are conflicts.

Their are two problems that I have with the book. The first is that the science of the climax just doesn't work for me, as an avid sci-fi reader. I can't go into it much without spoilers, so I'll just say it doesn't make sense to me. That fact doesn't necessarily detract from the enjoyment of the story, as it's fairly well written and edited. The second quirk is that the relationship between the two main characters is almost too quickly developed; even with many of the "bad" things that happen to them in the book, along with the strangeness of their relative cultures, there's not a lot of emotional danger between Lucy and Sa Kamisan. I'm not sure if it's just because I don't read many romance novels, but that detracted from the story for me. I wanted a little more uncertainty, or to have the characters work a bit more for their relationship.

The Welding of Two Cultures

September 26, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Life on Eden was just that pleasant and predictable when a space ship from another world landed. This species had a culture where everyone was assigned a color that represented their rank. With out that how would you know who to obey. It was up to Lucy to discover what they really were after, and while she was doing that she and their leader Sa Kamizan learn a lot of each other cultures. The big question is - Can they find common ground to live together? Can you love someone covered in blue scales? And what do they really want?

I love the way that the differences in the two cultures played out. It was all very believable and the plot carried me through this.

The book is well written and has a good story line with very good descriptions of their interactions ...

January 10, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

A refreshing and interesting beginning to a new series - the Author has written a science fiction romantic novel between human/alien species. The book is well written and has a good story line with very good descriptions of their interactions and their behaviour. The communication and language barrier made for fun reading. It was just like any foreign student learning a new language the first time - the translation is never quite right....
It is an enjoyable fast read and I was totally surprised at the unexpected twist at the end of the book.

Mildly entertaining

October 6, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Mildly entertaining exobiological spy alter-ego of the real life biophysicist falls for alien with blue scales. Not as deeply plotted as the much better Grand Masters series. Conflicts are superficial and short, easily disposed of.

The Lady is Blue made me blue

June 8, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

When I read the other reviews, I thought maybe we had different books. I checked- same cover, same characters. The book moved so slowly that it just lost my interest. The language was another problem, it seemed to be written for a teenager- but it wasn't. Gave up about a third of the way through and deleted it off my reader.

Not bad, not great

July 25, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

It was an okay read. Found the writing style to be quite painful at times, and was rather repetitive. Character conversations were very stilted and unnatural. I did manage to finish the book, and enjoyed the story somewhat, despite the rather obvious plot twists. Not sure I'll be continuing the series though

Engrossing!!!

Couldn't put it down! Will read the next in the series. Like the fact sex isn't overlooked and isn't an explicit gimmick to get readers. It is talked about and doesn't become pornographic. In other words let's your imagination do the heavy lifting instead of using someone else's descriptions of sex. Refreshing.

Biologist Dr. Lucy Stannis of the planet Eden meets the Alien ship Captain Se Kamizna Veedak after the alien ship lands on Eden. The aliens have several varicolored classes with the Blues dominant over the Yellows, Greens and Reds. Dr. Lucy attempts to find information about the aliens.

Characterization and plotting is excellent.

Okay

Well written. Started very well but then became very illogical and confusing. Scientists using slang terms for aliens? Ended well.

Sci-fi romance

This was a cute sci-fi romance. It seemed quite realistic of what could happen if we had refugees from another planet. It had troubles, friendships, and a blooming romance.Read more
