Adopted By Humans

★★★★★ "An interesting take on humanities future!" - Reader Review
___

A fresh take on science fiction and a glimpse at humanity through the eyes of an alien who doesn't know what 'family' is, until he finds one!

"Humans are the only known intelligent species to actively create 'Found Families' in the form of parents, children, siblings, and more.
If a human starts spending more time with you and initiating physical contact, they have probably adopted you."

These were the words that caught my ears when attending the most prestigious university in my quadrant as a minor in alien studies.

My intrigue led me to major in the study of humans, a new race to emerge into the galactic political scene, and one that had already in a mere fifty years, captured the imaginations of numerous races.

So when the chance came to go to Earth to study them up close, to live with a human host family known to our professor, I took it.

Inside the pages of these journals, you will find the record of my observations and experiences with human beings.

More than that, you will find how what began as a curiosity that would make for an easy career in a narrow field, changed my life forever, in all the very best of ways.

That's what happens I suppose, when you're adopted by humans.

WoW,, Love it !!!

you would never know this is virtual voice, excellent performance. Love the story line, and the humor.
I originally found this on You Tube where they have just book one,,, when i discovered it was on here at audible it is what decided me to renew my membership so i can listen to the rest of the books on plus catalog.

One of my favorite stories

The AI isn’t perfect, but it’s good.
The story is amazing, well thought out and written. They need to hurry up and put the second book on here.

Great story!

I liked it all! Ugh! Adding this should bring me to the 15 word minimum.

a story about good people.

The above is a quote from the authors intro for book 5 or 6. These days it feels like bad guys in entertainment everywhere, even if BG vs. BG. I found this series by searching Sci-fi slice of life and have truly enjoyed the ride. If you begin these books, try to stay until book 4. Even though I saw it coming, I still found it stunning.

just great

The virtual voice was close to perfect and the story refreshing. Can't wait to continue to the next episode.

Wonderful story

The author sets out a wonderful story of humanity and our relationship with aliens. Enjoy the methods used to establish the relationship and discovery of each participant.

Half a Good Book

Space dog comes to earth and learns social media is a hellscape. It starts well enough as the main character provides an interesting view of family through the eyes of an unreliable alien narrator.

Then midway through the story Doggo runs to the government with a childish authoritarian plea to solve interpersonal social issues. It is clumsy given the level of education Woofy has and a missed opportunity to showcase his alien talents.

On side note, the book makes good use of virtual voice. It made me think that I was listening to a translation of the barks and howls for the main character.
