Thank you, Mari." ★★★★★ - "This story of the juxtaposition of western and space aliens is interesting. The clash of cultures is not quite what might be expected, but it leads to an interesting read." ★★★★★ - "I enjoyed the purely western start, and the aliens and otherworldly part fit seamlessly. An odd combination to be sure, but the author makes it work." ★★★★★ - "I highly recommend this to everyone that is searching for a sci-fi story that they can actually relate to.
