I put off reading this story. Thought it was about a blue handed Jabba the Hut like creature. But when I gave in, I found a excellently written sci-fi piece that reads well. So far, the characters are human but it who knows? Also various strange wild beasts running around, after all they are not on Earth.
Give it a read, it is well worth the time.
The characters are well developed as are the unfolding events. Dialogue is well done with proper punctuation. Errors are few unless I missed them. Plot and appeal both rate 10. Not qualified to rate the technical.
