Short, fun sci-fi book

My rating: 4 stars
Audiobook narrator Christopher M. Allport rating: 4 stars

This was another fun short story by Ray Jay Perreault. It had a similar feel to Progeny in that the reader is purposely kept in the dark but completely revealed in a somewhat-comedic way at the end. This lightened the tone and made the book more enjoyable.

It seems that there are not a lot of suitable planets to live on according to this book. All of the ‘hosts’ of the different planets in which the mists travel to end up in some cataclysmic turmoil!

Some people agree that this would be a great novel if it were elongated into an extended edition. I felt that it was the appropriate length (with plenty of Science) and did great with the short length of this book.

The narrator did a good job of reading this book. I look forward to future books from Ray Jay Perreault.

I received a free copy of this audio book for an honest review.

The Art of Hospitality

The Greatest Host offers heartwarming stories of connection, kindness, and community, showcasing the transformative power of hospitality and generosity, celebrating the art of making others feel welcome.

A Masterpiece of Empathy

This book challenges readers to think about relationships in a new light. The alien’s journey is a metaphor for collaboration and shared experiences. The author’s vivid descriptions made the alien’s challenges and joys feel real

Unique Take on Alien Symbiosis

This story was a refreshing look at the concept of symbiosis with an alien life form. Following the alien's journey to find the perfect host was fascinating and emotionally engaging. The way the alien struggles and learns through different life forms was beautifully told. Definitely a unique and captivating sci-fi!
