Review of ALIENS

This is an enjoyable ride through a low-science high-fiction game universe that never takes itself serious enough to take away from its content. The reader is taken on a hap-hazarad tour of the lesser known areas of the universe with a happy go lucky sentient polar bear and his chance rougish companion. What can I say, it was fun to read. As they stumble through various star systems and meet with unfriendly, new and/or legendary aliens, their friendship grows. The end was oddly dark but still lighthearted, but I won't spoil the ending, the read is worth it.

During their travels, our heroes learn about: the evil empire they are forced to deal with normally, legendary hawk people, sentient crystal allies and their clones, 2 kinds of reptilians, little green men of 2 very different varieties, ocr/ferengi types, flying arrogant minerals, squid/lobster people, giant cave people and canabalistic rat-folk that endanger the entire universe. The reader learns all this and about the homewords of our heroes.

Find this, spend $5 just to read it. Spend more if your scifi gaming can use some lightening up. It's perfect bound and 96 pgs long so you should probably stop at $9.
