A down-on-Earth, easy read science fiction meant for well-read, well-rounded mature readers as the story will make you pause, ponder, and wonder.
The story revolves on a simple phrase, ‘Love one another.’ How complex it became when 36 benevolent aliens, stranded on our planet, sought help from us humans in refueling their ship to save their civilization. Of how ‘helping and loving each other’ inherent in the alien’s nature clashed with human’s inclination to seek power, by whatever means, that when pushed to a corner, the ‘everyone for himself’ mentality prevails. In contrast, the aliens would rather die than rise at other’s expense. Wary of the temptation to humans to possess the power one can hold in their technology, the aliens pushed on to save their civilization. An alien story of struggle in earthly settings - four episodes, four points in time, four different scenarios of struggle.
An excerpt from the novel best describes the alien’s predicament through the Alien leader’s dilemma. A dilemma that holds true today as it did thousands of years ago when he concluded: “In all the years I observed humans, I never understood them. Power, greed, and mistrust are things that shape their destiny. Never in history have they thought of themselves as one, Earthlings. Countries, races, tribes, families, and even within their own family, they compete against each other. I do not understand,” he paused, as he struggled to make sense of it. “It’s sad for it is within the Human’s power to make their planet a wonderful place to live if they only knew the value in loving and helping each other, they could make their world a paradise.”
Accessed for its story, a professional reviewer concluded, “This is a formulaic and unique sci-fi novel that fans of aliens, philosophy, anthropology, sociology, and even theology will find engaging.” A conclusion drawn as embedded within the story are those issues in story form. Issues true thousands of years ago as it is today. Issues that will make one stop and consider. Again, the story will make you pause, ponder, and wonder.
