Official Review: The Scent of Distant Worlds

[Magnify3]

The author has a great imagination! Intelligent plants that communicate with each other via root and scent! Thanks for the review!

Interesting story and a unique perspective. The book sounds like the unputdownable kind. Love the review.

I’m interested in this one, because it reminds me, thematically, of some of my favorite works by Asimov and Heinlein. I’ll have to give this book a shot. Thanks for the review!

The idea of intelligent plant life piqued my interest. The story should appeal to SciFi fans especially with the author presenting dual view points. The reader will be able to experience the story from the explorers and the locals' view points.

This novel presents an unusual premise - plants in outer space that communicate with each other. It is interesting to see a novel written from both perspectives, the plants and the humans, and I am quite intrigued to see how this story ends.

Ooooo I really want to read this book! I really these types of sci-fi stories. Thanks for your wonderful review!

Thank you for the fascinating review of this book. I am an avid reader of science fiction novels and this review has me chomping at the bit to dive into this book and start reading. The storyline sounds really interesting and I'm eager to read more and see where the author takes me. This book will absolutely be going on my to-be-read shelf.

The Scent of Distant Worlds by W. D. County - I was entranced by the sample and look forward to reading the book. Thanks for the excellent review.

This sounds interesting. I am intrigued about the mystery and the scifi aspects of this story. I have not read a good scifi in a long time but this sounds like something I would enjoy. I cannot wait to be pulled into the story.

I love the idea of presenting the same events through the lenses of both sets of characters - both the humans and the native inhabitants of the planet. It helps build empathy and reminds us that we don't know everything.

I couldn't agree with you more! Thanks for commenting!

Same here. Thank you for mentioning that in your review. Often times "other lifeforms" are given a benial role in science fiction. I would love to read this one and your review was wonderful.

Goodness, there’s a lot of details about creatures and new worlds. I’m not sure I’m able to follow all of those threads at this time, but sounds great for sci-fi fans!

This sounds like a great book for those who enjoy science fiction. It has well-developed characters and can be a bit violent. It sounds like a page-turner! Congrats on the book of the day! Great review.

The double perspective is interesting as everyone has their unique way of interpreting events. I also appreciate the author's background which provided experiences and the knowledge to make the story and characters seem real. Great review. Thanks!

The only sci-fi I like is that written about space exploration, like "Star Trek". In reading the preview pages, I got involved with several of the characters, especially Cassie. If I have some extra time someday, I might just try this book out! Thanks for a scintillating review.

Seems to me like another "must read" book, maybe a little bit cliche,but still intriguing...reminds me somehow of the movie "Marcian"...travelling in space, spaceships, distant planets what could be more interesting??
I'm undoubtedly placing this book among my other books, i've got so far on my bookshelves!
