“The second book in the ‘This Foreign Universe’ series is fascinating and thought-provoking. Having laid the groundwork in the previous title, Foreign Planet spends more time weighing the philosophical ramifications of humans branching out onto other planets, as well as exploring the results of previous character choices on their current situation. What I enjoy most about this series is the unique vision of the author. The aliens, the world, the conflicts; they all feel different than your stand sci-fi fair, which is a nice change of pace from the typical stuff. The alien species, in particular, are so mind-boggingly different from humans that it’s a true pleasure to learn how they tick, talk, and live. It’s impressive how much thought and construction has gone into this world. Can’t wait to see how the series unfolds.” ~ JPB (5 STARS)
