Mara Lynn Johnstone: Spectacular Silver Earthling (2022, Mara Lynn Johnstone) 5 stars

Review of 'Spectacular Silver Earthling' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Just finished my advanced reader copy. This was a new way to explore another planet -through the eyes of a film crew found of banter and digs at each other, as they seek footage exotic enough to keep their show on the galaxy's airwaves. The crew are good natured, and I enjoyed their company, and the conceited but very entertaining, endless digs that robot lead Hubcap makes at his 'meatbag' companions, which, along with the story, built to what I found to being a satisfying finale.

Frenzy, a space illness of mysterious origins was an interesting and realistic concept as a 'villain'. And naturally, an interesting original new alien species makes an appearance too. This was an immersive adventure, and an up-beat distraction from the sickbed in which I read it. An enjoyable and entertaining read.
