About the Book:
Are we alone? This
time, in this continuing story of Finny’s Voyage Through the
Universe, space and time traveler, Finny, searches for
extraterrestrial life. Landing on a planet with a radiation glow at
the remote end of a far-away solar system, he is amazed by the
colorful natural surroundings of the place, but is shocked when he
encounters mutant life-forms camouflaged inside the natural setting.
He encounters snapping apples, life-threatening flowers, carnivorous
musical trees, and pools of toxic liquid; each of them attracting
living things so they can consume them as their breakfast, lunch, or
dinner.
Finny finds himself
in a paradise on the next alien planet—one that is covered with blue
water where he goes after a beautiful female fish, a princess named
A. While romancing the princess beneath the wide blue ocean, Finny
is imprisoned by the soldiers of the king. Finny has to wrestle with a
huge octopus to win the princess! With Mr. Guru’s help, our intrepid
fish does win, but he has to escape from the planet without the
princess in order to save his life.
On another alien
planet near a red giant star, Finny find an advanced civilization.
When he lands on this world, he is captured by friendly giants. Finny
learns about their amazing scientific achievements and super
technology. And he discovers that they have been trying to escape the
rage of the dying sun by going to another planet in a nearby solar
system, but in vain. That planet is ruled by robots, and their dead-on
shots make it impossible for any spaceship to land. Finny helps the
people to succeed in landing on the planet of robots. How does Finny
do it? Finny’s cosmic adventure continues.
