Somewhat Alien: The Station

Terran Trilogy #2

by Sheron Wood McCartha

After countless years of traveling through a galaxy fraught with danger, twenty-eight of the original sixty Earth space ships discover an inhabitable planet. Unfortunately, the world already supports an indigenous species, very human in appearance, but unwelcoming. With resources depleted and her fleet desperate to land, Commander Elise Fujeint must find a way to save her people. One way may be through the planet's Alysian liaison, Richard Steele, who appears entirely too human... and male. An attraction forms between Richard and Elise, but each must deal with opposing factions as each side threatens war. The ships are required to go through quarantine on a rundown space station before the Alysians will allow the Terrans to land. But as time stretches out and no landings occur, the situation heats up. This is the saga of alien invaders forced to adapt to living in a world between ship and planet, the politics they struggle against, and the rodent-like gebbits that scamper through the station, creating chaos in their wake. Will the ships eventually land or will they give up and abandon the only sustainable world they have found so far? How can two different races of humans learn to live together in harmony or is violence the only answer? Questions we ask today.

About the author

I am a Northwest writer who writes science fiction time travel novels. My main influence was my father who had a passion for science fiction.

After I graduated from the University of Florida with a Master's Degree in Education, minor in English, speech and journalism, I taught English and creative writing at Bradford High School.

One night during a long boring ride back from a vacation weekend, I began to construct a story from a passing name on a billboard that struck my fancy. Going at 65mph, that one glance turned into a whole world of exotic characters and intriguing places. No wonder I write about time travel and time manipulation.

I got married, had my wonderful daughter, and held down day jobs of teacher, banker, stockbroker and art gallery manager. The whole time I continued to write and now have a series that I am editing and will soon be publishing in the Alysian Universe.

As I continued to write, I fell in love with all the different characters, and worlds they visited. Try reading about them and i think that you too will find a world that you will love.
