Worlds Beyond The Cloud
Representing Earth's first venture to its nearest star, the 6 member crew of the Star Wing makes a series of startling discoveries. Beginning with an unusual composite creature living in the sky of the star's only planet, Proxima Centauri b, they learn of its simultaneous interconnection to far flung worlds, the benign Bretori and his people the Kworthi among these. Taught by Bretori how to visit other planets through a method of bi-location, explorers Dan and Aashi next discover an extraordinary evolutionary process binding certain creatures with stars to promote their higher functions. They learn as well of certain peoples who use this process. With their growing knowledge, they next discover a planet locked motionless in space. Baffled by this seeming impossibility, by solving a series of puzzles they learn that the planet had once had spin and true orbit. Befriended by Olkar of the Dreshi people, they learn more of this mystery. Then, with the help of Instan, one of the diminutive Absim people, Dan and Aashi confront hostile forces in order to free up the planet.

Worth reading!
Igniting feelings of endless possibilities, the book aptly does the same by infusing the aspects of exploration in the form of space and further entailing the loss of their spacecraft and with all that would follow will surely have the readers fixated with the book till the end
“Across the sea of space, the stars are other suns”. This line in particular invokes a feeling of progression that knows no boundaries and the same is fairly relevant to the context of the literary work at hand. Delving further, the storyline is concerned with a group who went for exploring the space, but as they progressed further they had to bear the loss of their spacecraft on the Star that was nearest to the earth namely Alpha Proxima, but this event turned out to be something totally different as it culminated into formation of a connection to a local resident who gave them the idea of a technique termed as “bilocation” which transcends all the prevailing definitions of human possibilities as this technique allows and opens the door for them to traverse far beyond the domains of constellations. As we delve further, the reader may observe happening of events such as Experiencing different constellations where life is inclusive of racial conflicts and all other worldly things that would without a shade of doubt grab the attention of the reader
The length of the book ranges to 187 pages and at the same instance one may infer this book to be a rather space anthology concerning its contents and storyline, but upon a bare perusal of the same all these myths get shattered as the book caters to the wider goal of being called both as a good read and a must read
The description of the events and the usage of the language remains the key factor that is bound to attract readers , also the language may at occasional instances contain some technical usages but doesn’t overrides the joyful aspect of reading
This book is recommended to anyone who is willing to take a taste of science fiction and space exploration and at the same instance willing to observe that there is more to the definition and possibilities of the term “human possibilities”
Recommended.

Great book ahead!!
Once again a marvelous read. This book is more adventurous and futuristic than the previous book (check out my previous review). It was published before "A Planet Reborn" but I like and prefer it more. It's full of science fiction involving space crafts , planets , satellites and much much more!! Story revolves around the main characters Dani , Aashi and Instan, one of the diminutive Absim people (alien).
Central theme of this volume is exploration in space , then loss of their spacecraft and then with the help of Instan confront hostile forces in order to free up the planet. It's quite interesting read so far and I loved it!! Written lucidly and narration is great. Language used is simple and easily understandable. Title is apt and coverpage is okay , not that futuristic but still goes well!! Overall a great and highly recommended to all!!

Worlds Beyond The Cloud - This is my second book from this author John Albrecht, and i must admit that I became a fan of his writings. "Worlds Beyond The Clouds" is a sequel, to the 1st part , book named "The Planet Reborn" . Scintillatingly I find that author John, has carried along the beautiful articulation from the the first book, making it absolutely relatable including all major characters.
This 184 page book is an absolute work of fiction, Sci-Fi, Space adventure. The same characters Dan, Ashi, Instan, in quest of some startling discoveries along with new planet named Proxima Centauri and the merciful Bretori. Befriended by Olkar of the Dreshi people, its a never ending mystery. With their growing knowledge, they next discover a planet locked motionless in space. Baffled by this seeming impossibility, by solving a series of puzzles they learn that the planet had once had spin and true orbit. What is absolutely brilliant about this book is that the author has ensured every character is relatable to its 1st sequel (Mentioned above) which makes the story more enchanting and realistic being a Sci-Fi space adventure story. So what happens when they are be friended by Olkar of the Dreshi people ? Will Dan and Ashi, with the help of Absim Instan be able to confront or fight against the hostile forces to free up their planet. Grab a copy today to find out. For all those who are new to this book, I will personally suggest to check the first part (The Planet Reborn) by the same author John Albrecht, to make this read worthwhile.

Interesting read
WORLDS BEYOND THE CLOUD by John Albrecht is a science fiction novel .It presents Star Wings ,Earth's first crew to reach Proxima Centauri and their discoveries onto the world unknown. This is an amazing read full of space talk ,planets ,stars and new possibilities. I really enjoyed reading the book with such an indulging narration, though will be a bit difficult as it uses many scientific concepts and terms.
Though cover could have been much better. Title is perfect and is recommended to sci-fi book lovers.
