Review of Otherplanet @Solsticepublish


Otherplanet Review

 

I have had the privilege of reading an advanced copy of “Otherplanet” by Helen Alexander.  It is a science fiction story about two unsavory salesmen who hear about an alien flower called the Stella Mars.  It is said to bring happiness to anyone possessing it.  A very rich man is willing to pay any sum in order to have the plant.  The two companions decide to steal the flower and make their fortune.  Things go off track for the two of them from there.  The ingenious story takes part on both Earth and a mystical planet called Otherworld. There are elements all science fiction fans will love.  The story has magical creatures and special powers.  This story moves at a brisk pace but it keeps your attention quite well.  It is complex, yet easy to follow.  I certainly will not spoil anything for you but the end has an interesting twist.  This is a great piece for anyone who loves to exercise their imagination.  Helen Alexander has really outdone herself.
