Synopsis

COMFORTABLE. SAFE. ORDERLY.

That’s what Mark Hemmings happily thinks of his law student life until one balmy Florida night he foolishly runs out to gawk up at that light in the sky. Zap! Mark is kidnapped by space aliens. 

When the aliens’ experiment on Mark teaches him a little too much, Mark is able to accidentally steal an alien ship and plunge back to Earth, only to land smack into the clutches of General Peerless and Dr. Montgomery, the warring co-directors of Little Island. Little Island, the U.S. government’s secret facility where the government “collects” abducted returnees. Being the only person who can ―sort of― fly the spacecraft makes Mark just what the government is looking for, but an imprisoned life on Little Island isn’t exactly what Mark had in mind. Not that Mark’s feelings matter, because no one has ever escaped Little Island. But no one before’s ever arrived with his very own spaceship!

In his fight for free will, Mark, the Doctor, and the General, battle each other to triumph, the Doctor by clever manipulation, the General by crushing force, and Mark by his cunning, wits... and spaceship! A humorous story of chase and determination, and above all else, refusing to forget who you really are, despite the craftiest of temptations.

Bonus chapters from some of the author’s other books are included.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Independent Reviewer SIFT, review by Kevin: I found Alien Advantage extremely exciting the whole way through. I can't remember a single dull moment. The progression of the story and the character development was fantastic, and I really felt connected to the characters. Alien Advantage is definitely a must read. Mark Hemmings is a troubled law student abducted by aliens who then later return only to be captured by a secret organization that studies alien returnees. After his transfer to the secret facility, he has many interactions with the base psychologist and the Air Force General in addition to other returnees. These interactions, along with the normal and adversarial relationships, were masterfully crafted and fascinating to watch develop. Lorain O'Neil must have some great insight into human psyche and interaction. This was a quick and easy read, especially due to the non-stop excitement. I only noticed a few minor grammar mistakes, and while the language wasn't particularly complex, it wasn't overly simplistic either. Anyone who loves a straight up sci-fi with lots of action will love this book. Considering the fact that I could not put it down, I give Alien Advantage 5 stars. Other books by the author are "Coquina Hard" [historical fiction]; "The Dangerous Path of Loving Jaesha" [humorous erotic thriller]; "A Kiss From Moët" [humorous paranormal romance]; "Angelique Rising" [humorous dark thriller romance]; and "The Liar Charms" [humorous new adult thriller], all available on Kindle for Amazon.
