GRAND CLASSIC SCIENCE-FICTION SPACE ADVENTURE IN THE TRADITION OF ROBERT A. HEINLEIN STRANDED AND SURROUNDED!--First In Bryan Smith's Colonel Landry Space Adventure SeriesIt is the 25th Century. The space cruiser Beagle, under the command of Colonel Kendrick Landry, explores a planet ravaged by war millennia ago, now inhabited by hostile savage humanoids. The Beagle is shot down and grounded by an ancient, mechanized planetary defense network created by an advanced civilization long pre-dating the humanoid savages. The humanoids abduct two women officers: the sexy and sultry Maya Terrazone and the bright but petulant Veronica Winters. Colonel Landry leads a rescue party to find and bring back the two women with the help of Veronica's pet telepathic alien tiger Jones. But if the women still live and Landry rescues them, can his group survive another crossing of the desert terrain-teeming with the savage humanoids-to return to the Beagle? The humanoids are going extinct because long-ago biological warfare killed all the females. Can the Beagle genetic scientists create females to distract the savage male humanoids and permit the crew to make repairs and escape? But even if the Beagle crew makes repairs and regains orbit around the planet, then the ancient planetary defense network may fire upon them a second--and likely fatal--final time.GOLDEN WRITING, MEMORABLE CHARACTERSA lean and flowing prose style. A well-crafted plot. Well-developed characters. The beautiful and temperamental Veronica Winters.The supremely sexual and tough while yet sensitive Maya Terrazone. Colonel Kendrick Landry is a supremely focused, capable, and yet vulnerable man. Still haunted by a near-death event of many years ago. The reader is drawn deep under his skin, and views the distant world of "Sigma Theta III" from his perspective as he struggles desperately to save his crew and himself from becoming hopelessly marooned and dying on the planet.The novel creates a stark vision of determined men and women fighting for survival against overwhelming odds. THE SCIENCE OF FERAL PLANETMuch of the Sci-Fi space adventure of today makes only routine and passing reference to such concepts as faster-than-light space travel and the "beaming" of characters from one location to another. Concepts that were staples of the Golden Age Sci-Fi of the 1950's and 1960's and provided inspiration for much filmography including of course the famous Star Trek franchise. Golden Age Sci-Fi coined the term "astrogation" for navigation in space. Later sci-fi often defaulted to the term "navigator" (e.g. Mr. Sulu in Star Trek). Feral Planet adopts the terms "astrogation" and "astrogator" in part as a tribute to the Sci-Fi Golden Age.Feral Planet gives particular attention to faster than light travel accomplished by way of "space warping" as written about in scientific journals by theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre. The novel provides detail as to how such processes might actually work. A RENAISSANCE OF SPACE OPERAFeral Planet harkens back to Science Fiction's Golden Age of such distinguished writers as Robert A. Heinlein, Poul Anderson, and H. Beam Piper. Yet the novel achieves its own fresh modern originality. Good Sci-Fi "Space Opera" has become a rarity today. But for lovers of the genre Feral Planet marks a fresh new resurgence of an old favorite. The novel is compelling modern Sci-Fi Space Opera at its best. Feral Planet will be a welcome relief for readers tired out of the contemporary vogue clichés of vampires, werewolves, dragons and princesses, galactic empires, and "star wars." FIRST OF A SERIESFeral Planet is the first in the Colonel Landry Space Adventure Series. Four other novels in the series are scheduled for release: --Dome of Slavery --Final Battle --In Search of Kronos--Amira: Warrior Queen Of Crucida

Northern California Science-Fiction Book Review
From the Author EXCERPT FROM FERAL PLANET While exploring a war-ravaged distant planet, the exploratory team of the space cruiser Beagle are unexpectedly grounded and marooned on the planet in the midst of savage and hostile alien natives . . . The exploratory team from the Aurora-launched from the hangar deck and dispatched to the planet's surface in the space cruiser Beagle-had been observing the inhabitants of Sigma Theta III . . . As lush as it might once have been, the planet was now a recovering wasteland. It was craggy and held sparse vegetation and lower animal life forms to barely sustain the planet's dominant species. The dominant species was humanoid and large-up to about three meters tall, broad-chested, and thickly-muscled. Substantially stronger than a man. They had pale greenish skin, heads naturally bald, with yellow eyes . . . The humanoids were extremely territorial as to the land. The Beagle team saw the different groupings of the race turn on one another with unbridled vicious aggression. The bows and arrows and other weapons were used in war-like precision to accomplish repeated skirmishes marked by spear impalements and tomahawk decapitations . . . Aside from territorial hostilities, the planet's humanoid race was becoming extinct. All the tribal members were male. There were no females. Nakamura had explained it to Landry. "There is a virus still extant and detectable in the atmosphere-probably a by-product of biological warfare which contributed to almost destroying the race. It appears that the females had a particular vulnerability to the virus and eventually died out entirely." No more humanoids could be borne. The planet's dominant race was slated for extinction as a final side effect of its long ago final war. Nothing to be done. "Time to leave," Landry said . . . Maya was at the astrogation console on the Beagle. She fired the cruiser's jet propulsion wings. They almost immediately achieved orbit and sought to rendezvous with the Aurora, awaiting their return. All should have been well. Then the Beagle became surrounded by a surge of electro-magnetic energy which-surprisingly enough-was emitted from the planet's surface. She sought, too late, to surround the Beagle with a protective force screen drawn from the cruiser's energy core. Before the protective field could completely surround them, the electro-magnetic surge from the planet had already taken hold . . . For a moment the Beagle hung suspended and buffeted about in orbit. Then all systems were dead, and the cruiser was falling. "We are going to burn up in the atmosphere on re-entry!" Landry shouted. And they would have burned, had not Maya's hands darted across her control boards-based on recollection and instinct in the darkness-and tapped into the auxiliary power supply. She fired the two jet propulsion wings but the Beagle could not regain orbit. It had only enough power to safely re-enter the atmosphere without burn-up. And to break their descent so not to smash up completely on the planet's surface which came rushing up to meet them. They had landed. Beaten and knocked about, but all of them alive .

The non-stop action keeps things going at a fast pace so there's never a dull moment, and the characters are exciting and original with these unique personalities that really capture your interest. It's sci-fi fantasy with a pulse, taking you way beyond the usual cool technology and hot alien offerings. This is a book that will make you think, long after you've set it aside.Kendrick Landry is one of those get-er-done kind of guys but beneath the tough exterior is a real guy who is all too aware of his own mortality. He is given an assignment involving Major Maya Terrazone, a Eurasian Astrogator and Astrophysicist and member of the Lycanthian Polyamory League in New Los Angeles, and Major Veronica Winters, a Caucasian Science Officer and Chief Astrophysicist among other things, and the proud owner of a male Polaris tiger who will be along for the ride. Traveling intergalactic space with a practicing group sex participant and a presumptuous science officer with a telepathic tiger will prove even more of an adventure than he could ever imagine when they crash the Beagle and find themselves stranded on a planet teeming with hostile inhabitants.Bryan Smith has created a fabulously rich world here. From Landry's AI house computer Linda to the warlike, all male inhabitants of Sigma Theta III everything is brought to life with visually descriptive prose. Throughout it all the characters shine through, driving the story as they struggle for survival against all odds. It's a fantastic beginning to a very promising series that will thrill old school and contemporary sci-fi fans alike.
3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Feral is as feral does By L. P. Mercer Should be titled "Feral Space Cadets". It was just an excuse (in my opinion) to do "sex in space". Really - nubile maidens and push-over spacers with lust burning on every page - if you left out the sexploitation, you would have a possibly interesting book by a new author. Otherwise, you have a distracting sex-romp interspersed with some science fiction. I thought this was a little strange having read sci-fi for many years. Not my choice - Col. Landry will be rutting around space without my company as far as I'm concerned.

A few quality reads in the past few years, "The Martian" being one of them, changed my tune and I have really grown to love the sci fi genre and all that it offers. There are some real stinkers out there in this genre though as some can write books that don't make sense or flow properly but this was not my experience at all with author Bryan Smith's fantastic new novel "Feral Planet".The first in the "Colonel Landry Adventure Series", this is the story of a pretty epic space adventure with Colonel Kendrick Landry at its center. Many centuries in the future, Landry's ship, The Beagle, is exploring a desolate planet and is shot down by some old defense technology. They find themselves pretty quickly at a disadvantage on this planet that is inhabited by hostile humanoids, who have managed to kidnap two female ships officers. It is up to Landry to not only retrieve these two lovely ladies but also to find a way off of the planet.I loved the adventure that was set up here that began pretty much immediately. As with a fantasy novel, sci fi set on a remote planet requires a good deal of world building and I thought that Smith did a fantastic job with this - vividly describing both the landscape and the inhabitants of the planet. The characters were relatable and I feel quite invested in this crew - so much so that I am anxious to continue the adventure in the next books in this series.
