Post by **Sanju Lali** » 02 Dec 2020, 11:08

An exciting and suspenseful science-fiction book "Surviving Anstey" by Susan Hancock, which revolves around an alien named Anstey, who left his distant planet and future time to settle on the Earth. However, Anstey lives unlawfully on earth and takes up quarrels with the people on the Earth. The story appears interesting to read.

Captivating plot, i would like to read the story and I thought Anstey was the main character but it seems more about the enforcers so it shows the twists and turns contained in the book. Congrats to the book of the day.

I went in planning on only reading a few pages and ended up reading a few chapters. I was a little confused in the beginning but I was so entranced by the characters and stories that I pushed through. This sounds like an awesome book that I’ll definitely keep reading. Thanks for the review!

Not exactly fortunate title for the book, in my opinion. Blame my poor English if you will, but at first glance I thought it was some self-help guide, because I mistook Anstey with "antsy")) Thankfully it turned out my favorite Sci-Fi type with quite interesting plot and free! So thanks a lot and congrats on BOTD!

This book reminds me of slave trade and how fearful it is to escape captivity. I look forward to reading this book as I anticipate knowing how it all ended.

I really like that the main character's switch off on being the hero. This book sounds creative and captivating. I look forward to reading it.

The switching points of view make for an excellent narrative tool, in my opinion. And I applaud that the author was able to create a cliffhanger for the sequel without leaving loose ends. I don't see that very often. I wonder why Kat was labeled as a witch...
Thank you for the enthusiastic review!

I Love the writing style of Susan Hancock; Just from the glimpse of the book elaborated in this review, I'm so anxious to read this novel. Super powers and Planet Shift!

Well, I must say @Juliet+1 did a wonderful job on this review, the following phrase is so catch and hope lifting in terms of what to expect in the Novel " Perilous tides, secret caves, and rocky offshore islands concealing bands of pirates are just a few of the elements that create an atmosphere of tension and danger."

I find shifting perspectives in a novel very engaging as a reader is able to understand the storyline well from the character's perspectives. Great review.

An alien from a distant planet comes to Earth in the Elizabethan era and sets up a lucrative drug and slave trade business. What a unique idea for a sci-fi story! This sounds interesting. Congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD. Thanks to the reviewer for your excellent review.

A great, detailed review. This sounds like an interesting sy-fi story. Extra-Terrestrial visitation is always an interesting storyline.

There's a curious implication in the review that Thomas is not level-headed owing to his being prone to depression. A well written review, nevertheless.

What a unique premise! An alien from a future planet and time settles down to Elizabethan England? I can't say I've actually heard of this concept before. From your review, this sounds like a fantastic book. Thanks for the great review!
