Interesting thought if people could become better at thought transmission chats by tuning in to the same wavelength to accomplish better relationships and work practices. Great chapter in your book and I look forward to the next one. Bill

    Thank you so much, Bill, for another of your lovely reviews. If thought transmission was possible, I'd like there to be a button to stop people popping in unannounced! It could get you into a lot of trouble otherwise. Then again, if you wanted to sneak in to find out what a crook was up to, that would be totally different, lol. Thank you, my friend. :)) Sandraxx

I have come back for another chapter! This one was really great. I liked the mixture of "real life" information combined with the space universe. Especially the name Chloe! Haha. The ending was a very well done cliff hanger, I wonder what is wrong with Kon.

    I can see why you would like the Chloe, part. Chloe is Eric's real life sister. She's lovely, just like you. Thank you for coming back, Chloe, not much more to go now, so hang in there. :)) Have a lovely day, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

Haha. I can just see Eric singing and dancing for the others! So I wonder what will happen now?

I only have one small suggestion.
The more he thought about it, though, the more what Drozig had said made sense. - I don't like the 'what' in the above but don't quite know how else I'd write it. Maybe 'The more he thought about it, though, the more sense he thought Drozig had made.' I'm sure it's fine as is.

Cheers
Judy

    Wow! Judy, that is amazing! You always manage to find nits, I think they were scared of you and hid!!!! LOL. I'll have another look at that line, thanks for pointing it out. And, thank you so much for the lovely review. Eric's singing is awwwwwwful! But to watch him dance to a good beat tune, and you'd think he had rubber bones! He's amazing to watch. We just have to turn the music up so we can't hear him sing!! LOL!! Have a lovely day, my friend. :)) Sandra xxx

    Eric will love reading this part where he sings and dances. What a great thing you're doing, writing these lovely stories for him. Maybe I should have another look at that chapter!! lol

    I've changed that line to read...
    The more he thought about it, though, the more Drozig's words made sense.
    What do you think?
reply by JudyE on 20-Apr-2020
    That's much better, much more natural. Now why couldn't I have come up that? lol

This is another well written chapter in the book Eric's Epic Adventures. The characters appear real with genuine problems. Their language sounds real. Well done!

Cool!!! Not ONLY does he get to go to outer space, but he gets to go into a whole nother galaxy!!! I wonder if he's going to be able to appreciate that? Perhaps when they get there... I wonder how big this planet will be? :)

    Ahh, there is more in outer-space than we know about, but we might learn something in the next post! Thank you so very much for your lovely review, Susan, I really enjoyed reading your thoughts on this part. Have a lovely day, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

Hi Sandra, I'm so glad you got rid of the nits...
they can be so irritating...

well!!! this may sound pretty sad...and you know that's not me...BUT!!!...they are safer in the Dead Sea than they are in our waters...between the pollution, and the plastic bags, old fish nets...and God knows what else...they wouldn't make it a week...so I hope Drozig has a sure place in mind...

and keep an eye on Eric's bike...Noah would be devastated if something happened to it...LOL...

you know I love your story told my amazing sweet friend...the good thing about it...is it keeps you more interesting with each chapter...so very well written sweet girl...and a perffffect picture...sending you much love from over here...Linda xxoo

I hope your're all still staying safe...things are pretty much the same on this end...I wish there were a way to get mom to the doctors...it's not the same through the phone...sigh...God Bless my wonderful friend...love you...Linda xxoo

    Good morning, Linda! I bought a nit spray!! LOL! Goodness me, could you imagine what would happen if Eric's bike disappeared?? Between Noah and Eric the thief wouldn't stand a chance of survival!! :))))

    I'm so pleased you're enjoying this book. I've got masses to do once I can publish again, with Noah's book, this book, and my ABC book! So much fun ahead!

    I'm worried about your mum not being able to see a doctor. No, it's not the same to speaking on the phone and he not being able to see her in person. I'll keep her in my prayers, as you know I will. You stay safe, too, my dear friend. Love you loads, give my hero Noah a hug when you can. :)) Sandra xxxx
reply by l.raven on 20-Apr-2020
    she really does need to see him...her mind is getting worse...not that there is anything they can do for her...

    I think Eric and Noah would become detectives to find Eric's bike...now there's a story...LOL...Detectives Eric and Noah...and their sidekick Herbie...think of the trouble they could get in...LOL...

    I'm so glad you can publish again...How long are you on your computer, laptop, or Ipad...a day ???...I will give Noah a big hug for you...whenever I get over that way...don't want to leave my brother in a bind...ok here comes mom...so I'll talk at ya later....sending Easter buckets of love to you...there full of way to much candy...love you sweet girl...Linda xxoo

Eric was definitely confused at that black emptiness. This seems to be a chapter that helps show the need for faith, even in science fiction. I like this line for its descriptive detail: Eric couldn't hide his grin as he thought its shape resembled a barnacle attached to the bottom of a boat.
Great 'b' alliteration there as a poetic device in the midst of this prose, with barnacle, bottom, and boat.

I guess if I was Kon I'd be a little sceptical too. We all know what they say about something that seems too good to be true, and I suspect Kon would too. He can't see it, so how does he know it exists? He'd have to wonder what would happen to his people if it doesn't.

This is an interesting interplay between Eric, Drozig and Kon, as they discuss the search for a suitable planet home for the aqua-beings. It's enjoyable to read about Eric's attempts to follow the telepathic communication of the aliens, and the way he shares his version of earth history.

Here are some suggested corrections:

As Eric watched, he became aware of murmerings in his head,
-->
As Eric watched, he became aware of murmurings in his head,

Eric couldn't hide his grin as he thought it's shape
-->
Eric couldn't hide his grin as he thought its shape

showed his how good he was at dancing.
-->
showed him how good he was at dancing.

apart from his weird shaped lips
-->
apart from his weirdly shaped lips

The chapter ends on a note of suspense, as Drozig's discovery comes into question. That's very good, because it makes the reader want more!

Hmmmmm. I'm wondering what's up with this. I can't believe Drozig would do anything underhanded, but there's some mystery about the plant that can't be seen.
