The Turquoise War A. E. Vardakis

It's the future. The Neekans from the doomed planet Orchadia, in another distant galaxy have come to earth to cohabitate with the earthlings who are highly suspicious of the new arrivals. The Humans and the Neekans cohabitate but are compulsorily segregated by the Earthlings who see the Neekans as having a lower status. Can David a Human boy, who adopts a Neekan Rasirine as his best friend, bring these two alien cultures together in harmony and end the war between these two peoples and break down the divisive and prejudicial barriers? It seems he is the chosen Earthling to accomplish this. An imaginative and entertaining story. The concept of the conflict that arises between two outwardly very different cultures is well presented by this young author. It is highly imaginative and although set well into the future the story embodies many of the divisive and prejudicial attitudes that exist today and have existed in the past. A well articulated and impressive story from a good young talent" - Dr. Keith Powell (Orthodontist)
