Fiction on Foreign Planets

Fiction on Foreign Planets
By Sean Kavanagh


A short story collection where the word 'short' really does not do it justice. Very short, snappy slices of sci-fi, and very funny in places.    The stories all follow a similar pattern, a standard sci fi set up, alien setting, or alien characters, or both, with a quirky twist at the end of each, all of which are very satisfying in their own way.
 My personal favourite is one which tries (hilariously) to blame global warming on tge Roswell landings.            Another about a sentient android spreading disease throughout the galaxy is intelligently written.
 Overall a very quick, enjoyable read. Recommended.
