Alien Redemption by Gloria Oliver – Review by Tanya Wall, January 2024

Alien Redemption by Gloria Oliver
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

To start with – I don’t love science fiction and wasn’t too sure about reading this book. But, I’m glad I spend some time with it. It was pleasantly surprising. “Alien Redemption” by Gloria Oliver is a science fiction novel that takes readers on a thrilling journey through space and introduces them to the resilient and endearing character, Claudia. The author’s skillful storytelling weaves together a fast-paced story filled with drama, twists, and turns that will keep scifi lovers hooked until the last page.

Claudia, the main character, faces adversity after being wrongly implicated by her deceitful employers. As she strives to rebuild her life, readers empathize with her struggles and root for her redemption. She is what kept me reading.

The author does a great job of building a picture of a mysterious planet and its unique sentient alien beings. Her attention to detail brings the vivid colors and intricacies of the aliens to life. The contrast between Claudia’s genuine efforts to help the aliens and the captain’s contemptible actions adds depth to the narrative, eliciting a range of emotions from readers.
