Advanced Color Theory: A Short Story

Avery goes to join the Astronomical Studies Club, hoping for stargazing and stimulating scientific discussion. What she finds is a group of people claiming to use crystal balls to receive messages from space aliens. But she gives them a chance, and finds herself helping to assemble a return message. But out of anybody else on Earth, why are these aliens contacting a bunch of college students? Is their message one of peace and enlightenment? Or something far less welcome?

[Koushik Dutta · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's a short and sweet read. Though the beginning felt a bit abrupt without a backstory for the characters, but the plot saw the light quickly after. The story picks up very swiftly and the ending is bound to leave the readers with a smile.

Drink more Ovaltine.

Great first contact story. A bunch of science nerds at the local college decipher mysterious messages from an ancient alien race.

[Vitor Antunes · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's a cool read and I recommend it but he could have gone further with the history a little bit, I think it ended up too soon
