The Blind Alien: The Beta-Earth Chronicles, Book One (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781629331416)

Immerse yourself in an extraordinary universe revealed by the most original storytelling you'll ever experience. "Science fiction yes, but so much more." Praise for The Blind Alien: "The Blind Alien is a story with a highly original concept, fascinating characters, and not-too-subtle but truthful allegories. Don't let the sci-fi label or alternate Earth setting fool you--this is a compelling and contemporarily relevant story about race, sex, and social classes." - Raymond Benson, Former James Bond novelist and author of the Black Stiletto books "I've not read a book like this before, full of alternative perspectives, excellent characterisation, plots, emotional turmoil and torment. Ripped from Earth, Malcolm, a well-read but relatively insignificant earthling, finds himself suddenly transported to a planet in another universe. During this transition, he loses his sight, so he has to face this alien world with a different culture, language, morals and ethics, totally blind. Here, the elite treat him like a science experiment probing and analysing every part of him - inside and out. But through the months of experiments and torment, he devises a plan to escape using the only weapon he has - his own uniqueness. Therein, other characters emerge helping him with is struggles and adding their cultural and emotional perspectives. The plot and dialogue are densely packed with ideas and the unique structure of the plot transport the reader to this new world. Dr Britton has successfully created a parallel world; something that many sci-fi books fail miserably at." Well worth the read! - Robert Cole, author The Ego Cluster "This is the first book of a series where Robinson Crusoe meets Fringe in a parallel Universe dominated by women because of a disease that kills 3 to 1 the males who are born ... Dr Wesley Britton is a natural born storyteller who has worked so much on his craft that it seems effortless. Don't let yourself be deceived by that. It takes a lot of effort and talent to create so many characters that can stand on their own, have your own, simple yet particular voice as a writer that can keep you on reading and reading and once you are done, you wonder ... "That's all? I definitely need to know what happened next!" - Amanda Spark, author of Janus Quadrifrons
