This was another fun short story by Ray Jay Perreault. It had a similar feel to Progeny in that the reader is purposely kept in the dark but completely revealed in a somewhat-comedic way at the end. This lightened the tone and made the book more enjoyable.

It seems that there are not a lot of suitable planets to live on according to this book. All of the ‘hosts’ of the different planets in which the mists travel to end up in some cataclysmic turmoil!

Some people agree that this would be a great novel if it were elongated into an extended edition. I felt that it was the appropriate length (with plenty of Science) and did great with the short length of this book.

The narrator did a good job of reading this book. I look forward to future books from Ray Jay Perreault.

This story was a refreshing look at the concept of symbiosis with an alien life form. Following the alien's journey to find the perfect host was fascinating and emotionally engaging. The way the alien struggles and learns through different life forms was beautifully told. Definitely a unique and captivating sci-fi!

Any additional comments?

I'll admit it...I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. I had difficulty following this one on the first go round. Then right at the end, you get a clue. Going back and listening again, I understood it much better. Still a few fuzzy spots, but this story takes you through a microscopic analysis of familiar life forms that really didn't fall into place for me until the end. Pretty neat way to look at something you are already intimately familiar with.

Narration was pretty good as well. Nice short story!
