July 1999 - What is it like to be the human who is an alien on a distant planet? A new book that breaks the mold in genre patterns already is thrilling novel readers. Earth Alien, by Mark Caldwell Walker, is a science fiction work about a man caught by a cosmic storm and carried to another planet. The native "aliens" discover the strange looking human and assist him in assimilating into their society. From that point on, the tide is turned to view life from the perspective of people from a planet other than Earth. Different from what often is encountered in the science fiction genre, Earth Alien takes you outside the usual bounds of thought. You become part of a world where the "alien" cultural practices are contrasted with what is common in most human societies. There are no pitched laser battles between warring spaceships or grotesque and repulsive creatures in Earth Alien. The people of the planet Nenmar are genetically compatible with humans, even to the point of reproduction. But the Nenmarans are different from us, physically and culturally. Their technology is behind that of Earth, not ahead of it. Their language breaks the rules of Earth language grammar. Their values challenge humans' views of themselves and each other. The light easy style and eye pleasing type in Earth Alien make it perfect for summer deck or beach reading. You can immerse yourself in an interstellar love story as you ponder your own perspectives on life. This unique combination of light and thoughtful themes makes Earth Alien doubly enjoyable. The cover art is an added bonus. A beautifully done original oil painting graces the front cover of Earth Alien. Worth framing for its own sake, the cover will be submitted to a national competition in "Communication Arts" magazine in two categories: Best artwork and best cover design. Not to be isolated and confined to a distant planet, the story of the earth alien includes its effects on Earth. The relationship provides cause for meaningful thought about our place in the galactic scheme. This epic extraterrestrial adventure is on its way to becoming a cult classic.
