A powerful being is angry and on the hunt. He is out to capture and destroy Aksel, and will stop at nothing until he does. Aksel’s elusive escapes are always met with the same fate—the complete obliteration of yet another planet and its inhabitants. Now, Aksel seeks refuge on one of the last remaining planets—Earth. With only days remaining, can Earth and two of its citizens help save Aksel from death and destruction at the hands of this powerful entity? Or will they be destroyed like the rest?
wonderful! The novella simply sucked me inside its world where I was mashed, mangled, and returned yet again to another step closer to the end of everything. Outstanding twist at the conclusion. No spoilers here, but do read it. Worth every minute of your time.
I really enjoyed the contrasts set up in this novella - calm chats in a cafe, the end of the world; average people anyone has probably met a hundred times, strange and almost alien friend. The gradual build up to a stunning ending was perfectly executed, too!
