Earthbound by mari collier is an imaginative and absorbing sci-fi western centered on the exploits of zebediah macdonald. For antebellum western fans, sci-fi lovers looking for an original narrative, earthbound is a must-have.
Collier does an excellent job in blending the sci-fi elements into the plot, allowing the western frontier to serve as its mainframe.
Cons
The story goes on and on, the descriptions of what is going on are poor and very confusing. The characters are poorly developed and very one dimensional. For those of you who succeeded in finishing this book, my hat's off to you.

Mc has written a syfy novel about a young man who is a survivor of a crashed shuttle from his space ship.
Packaging/appearance
The story was so good i think mari collier is an alien that lived back in the 1850's!
Enjoyed the premise of an alien trapped and surviving with humans in the 1860's.

The author did a wounderful job on the various characters and the narrator did a excellent job on bringing the characters to life.

Other than that, a highly recommended sci-fi series!

The story ends too abruptly the obvious ploy is to get you to purchase the next book

While the narrator did an admirable job narrating there are several times throughout the audio that need to have the editing refined

There are several places where there is a loud clicking or clapping type sound and then the narration comes back as though it was meant to have been cut out

Much of the character development is done by way of dialogue and that dialogue is often written in accented english
