Joshua – Life after Theos is a stunning story written about a government named Theos. The people there don’t know much about the humans but two scientists risk their lives and work for years trying to prove that they too can live and survive on earth. As they pass away, their son travels to earth with his ex-girlfriend, trying to continue his parent’s legacy.
What then transpires are the struggles and experiences they encounter being a foreigner on a planet that is not their own. As the two live apart they are to meet to regain body strength in order to survive. Each live such different lives but yet, something is there and I believe that is what made this story different.
The literature was beautifully written with science fiction material satisfying the reader. The pace of the story was decent and had a nice flow to it. The content and storyline were perfectly suited for someone who likes love stories and science fiction.
I enjoyed the dynamic of the interactions, the experiences encountered, the dialogue between them and how the characters were interconnected without wanting to.
I look forward to reading more from this author. She definitely has potential in creating good work.

This book is phenomenally written and immediately pulls the reader in. The sounds, colors and voices are vivid and you are left with a feeling of being included in the story itself.
The characters are created with such detail that following their storyline pushes you into the “just one more page” mindset.
I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the people of this book, their stories, their relationships and feeling their emotions as well as my own through the twists and turns of their everyday lives.
I can’t wait to read the next book and have no doubt it will be just as good!

I read this book in less than 2 days. It drew me in wondering how Josh and Mani from Theos would adjust being on Earth and with the new friends they met. Now can't wait to read the next book in the series!

A great read!
Another alien story? Come on! With that said, “Joshua”by Patrica Miller was a pleasant surprise. Joshua, who escapes from his planet with a stowaway friend crashes on earth. Joshua’s life becomes complicated while trying to blend in with humans. While learning the ropes of human behavior, his who changes when he meets Emma, who works with him changes the whole course of his life. I honestly didn’t think we needed two POVs in the story. However I found the characters and story line intriguing. And yes, I am interested in reading the sequel. Great Job, Patricia!
