"The Gerfnit Chronicles is wonderful! ... kids would love it.  
The premise of this book is unique and of great interest to kids.  
The manuscript is really well written."
 - Alice Flanagan, Flanagan Publishing Services

"Mike Pickard's style of writing reminds me both of Heinlein and 
early Phillip Dick.  Unlike some science fiction books, the 
appendices were extremely helpful."
 - Wayne Allen Sallee, author

The Frobzbians were merely curious about the inhabitants of the 
third planet orbiting around a distant sun.  The natives were rumored 
to have unique attributes that the Frobzbians wanted to understand.  

At least, that's the way the mission started.  

But when Gerfnit the mission specialist, surgically altered to look 
like an Earthling child, decided it wanted to make a return visit 
after an enjoyable summer at camp, Earth suddenly drew the attention 
of several other planets and species, not all with friendly intentions. 

Now, both the planet Earth and Gerfnit were in grave danger as the 
visitor from Frobzb went from being camper and data collector to 
Earth's self-appointed protector.
