Sandy Lender dips her bucket of literary genius into her
well of creativity and comes up with a fanciful sci-fi adventure beyond
ordinary originality in her Book 1 of the Dragons
in Space Series, Problems on Eldora
Prime.
Sandy Lender has a very unique way with words and a clever
wit when it comes to naming people, places and things. With a cast of wonderfully colorful
characters, described best by the author in this excerpt of those who survived
the crash landing of the United Society for Peace and Strength (USPS) ship named
the Instigator on the planet Eldora
Prime:
Luckily, most of the crew not only survived
the crash, but survived the attack of the man-like beasts with their terrible
mouths. Trane, better known as Bay for his murderous ways; Jay, the intelligent
alien; Gibson, the security chief who carried more weapons than it seemed his wiry
frame could support; Kor, the muscular and capable marksman; Shayla, the
stealthy but simple chef; Red, the openly aggressive engineer; Khiry, the type
A personality whose ship had just crashed on a foreign world; Electra, the United
Society for Peace and Strength leader’s beautiful sister; and four of the seven
transports who’d paid for passage to Earth sought shelter in the cargo hold
with five dragons.
This group
joined by others and plagued by fire-breathing Pterodactyloid type of dragons,
mutant zombies called “touched” (biologically altered inhabitants of the caves
of the planet) and a never ceasing onslaught of situations demanding heightened
survival instincts. Sandy Lender does
not leave a sentence of insignificant adventure in her brilliant story-telling
style. The pace of the book accelerates
to warp speed, the adventures analogous to the animalistic uncertainty of Jurassic Park, the credible “Where no
man has gone before” as Star Trek,
accompanied by Star Wars characters
entourage. As I read this book in its
electronic version, my finger was constantly scrolling down as I became drawn
into this sci-fi adventure of shock and awe.
Quite
cleverly Sandy Lender began her novel by introducing a glossary of new
words. Just as Shakespearian “English”
is antiquated for our literature today, our current vernacular is obsolete to
describe the world of the distant future. In my opinion, this is an ingenious way to bring the reader into her
fantasy world with credibility and having an “insider’s” understanding of the
conversational interactions of her characters.
Problems on Eldora Prime is the best prequel to a series
of books destined to become classics in young adult reading. Ideally written for screenplay adaptation for
the making of a blockbuster movie, or series of movies for that matter, people
should not wait until Hollywood catches up, as this book is available on all
popular websites now.
