From Elsewhere by Sarah BaethgeMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Nysol is an alien (a Sharill) which is a human like alien so when he escapes his Kisleem enemies who are chasing him and crashes on Earth he is mistaken for a human and treated as such. He meets Sean a human camping with friends and without thought uses some advanced technology on him to extract memories so he can gain language as quickly as possible. This causes a problem as Sean is injured and is very confused about everything. So when Lester arrives he is not recognised by Sean and then he assumes Nysol is human and together they try to get Sean some medical attention. They meet Dr. Amy Carter who tries to help Sean. However when Polt (a Kisleeman) tries to catch Nysol it suddenly becomes a risk to the new friends he has made too.
This was a retelling of an old theme for sci/fi books and films of an alien that is human like and stuck on Earth. It did however have some new twists with the arrival of Polk and the danger they were all in. It was an ok story which I enjoyed although a couple of times I found it a bit tedious and had to put it down for a little while. So an enjoyable read that was well written but just came a bit short on what I expected from the blurb for it.
