The Stellar Wanderer by John Dalomba is a fresh and exciting science fiction novella. It tells the story of Nova, who was born on Earth and travels the universe, and her emergency landing on the mysterious planet of Xeranthia. Once there, she meets a nameless boy with whom she shares a connection which she believes cannot be coincidence. After learning the universe is in great peril, Nova and her friend embark on a long and convoluted quest to save everything they know and believe. This is a fine work of science fiction, full of detailed descriptions of outlandish yet sentient beings with the potential to alter space and time. I developed a genuine affection for the main characters, and the author’s writing style is unique and memorable. My only minor complaint was that the complicated, fast-paced plot became a bit hard to follow at certain points. Overall, however, I highly recommend this book.
