New Reviews for The Blind Alien
I’m delighted to report the 99 cent sale of The Blind Alien is capturing the imagination of new readers.
In particular, two of those readers took the time to post reviews this month at Amazon. I’m reposting them here. Let me say this: I don’t know these folks. Never met them, never corresponded with them. In fact, 98% of all the reviews for my books at Amazon or here at Goodreads are by total strangers to me. For what that’s worth—

The Blind Alien is a well crafted sci-fi adventure. And I would imagine that fans of this genre will love sinking their teeth into this one! This is my first time reading this author and I must say I was very impressed.
The story had every element a good story should have. An exciting plot, attention to detail, but best of all fleshed out, well-written and well-rounded character development. There’s an abundance of well illustrated scenes that really make you feel like you are right there in the story, and that's something I really look for in a good book.
This captivating and commendable work had me immersed from the beginning. The story flows from scene to scene with ease, and the author shows exceptional skill when it comes to storytelling. There are twists and turns in this page turner that will take the reader on a gripping journey!
It’s one of those stories that come along once in awhile that makes you want to read it non-stop until you get to the end. I’m giving nothing further away here. And this, I hope, will only add to the mystery and enjoyment for the reader!
I’ll certainly be looking forward to reading more from Wesley Britton in the future! I would definitely recommend this book! Five stars from me.
Great mixture of fun and inspiration :), August 4, 2016

This was an absolute eye opener. Never have I ever thought about how we would be seen if we too came to be on a different planet. It puts a remarkable spin on regular books about alien invaders. The tortures that Malcolm-the human alien from Earth, was subjected to and had to endure is nothing short of what an alien would have had to endure, had they found themselves on Earth mysteriously. The way Malcolm spun his wise plan to get away from the high leaders and their numerous test was ingenious. That scene left me giggling. His proceeding victory, in gaining partial freedom and achieving a status as a Teacher was well noted. However when things took a turn for the worst and had my heart pounding, he found help. This section gave me hope that even when all things seem lost and we want to despair, there will be help in one form or the other. The 'Helprims' are a set of brave women and I admired them a lot. The courage they displayed and their resilience in assisting Malcolm in his healing process was marvelous. Also Malcolm although now blind showed remarkable strength and adapted well to his new surroundings. I totally recommend this book.
The Blind Alien is still on sale for 99 cents!
