This is adolescent scifi adventure that should not be confused with real science fiction. It moves quickly and, as long as you don't dwell on the technology or cosmology, it is a serviceable enough distraction. The " books" in this series are short and inexpensive until you consider that all together they would make a single reasonable length novel at a not so bargain price. Not for serious devotees of SF. From My Newsletter Number 62:This review is on The Fringe Worlds, which is Book One of the Human Chronicles Saga by T.R Harris. It is the first book I have read by this author.The story starts out with two aliens, Kaylor and Jym, working on an old cargo hauler in The Void trying to avoid the Fringe Pirates. On their way home, they come across an unknown ship under attack by the pirates. Kaylor comes up with a surprise that fools the pirates and drives them away from the ship. Kaylor boards the ship with hopes to salvage the ship and its contents. What he fiends instead is two unknown alien species, of which only one species is still alive.The alien species that survived is Human and is named Adam. When Adam wakes up from his ordeal, he realizes he has been abducted by aliens and has no memory of how it was done. To make matters worse, he does not know where he is, who his captors are or how to get home. The story develops from there.It is amusing that the human character in this story is considered to be the real alien by the rest of the characters. It appears that humans are very rare and no one knows where their planet is located. Fortunately, Adam has some unusual abilities that allow him to survive in his new circumstances. I give this book three stars because I liked the unusual story spin and the characters. The story is interesting and I may decide to read the next book in this series to see what becomes of Adam.
What do You think about The Fringe Worlds (2011)?
Not bad, good under currents, but with time he will be better I think.

Not exactly top notch scifi, yet it was a fun read.

Pulp sci-fi. Unpretentious, but entertaining.
