About this listen
What if you were thrown into a foreign society, never to see home again? What would you do, and could you survive?
Joe Colsco boarded a flight from San Francisco to Chicago to attend a national chemistry meeting. He would never set foot on Earth again.
On planet Anyar, Joe is found unconscious on a beach of a large island inhabited by humans where the level of technology is similar to Earth circa 1700. He awakes amid strangers speaking an unintelligible language and struggles to accept losing his previous life and finding a place in a society with different customs, needing a way to support himself and not knowing a single soul. His worry about finding a place is assuaged when he finds ways to apply his knowledge of chemistry - as long as he is circumspect in introducing new knowledge not too far in advance of the planet's technology and being labelled a demon.
As he adjusts, Joe finds that he has be dropped into a developing clash between the people who cared for him, and for whom he develops an affinity, and a military power from elsewhere on the planet - a power with designs on conquest. Unaware, Joseph Colsco has been poured into a crucible where time and trials will transform him in ways he could never have imagined.
Cast Under an Alien Sun is a story that's science fiction in premise, adventure in execution - a cross-genre adventure with elements of science fiction, history, hard science, epic fantasy, time travel, romance, alien contact, and space colonization.

What did you like most about Cast Under an Alien Sun?
The start before it became the cringe-worthy POV sex diary of a day dreaming virgin.What could Olan Thorensen have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
honestly, stop trying to game of thrones with all the sex scenes could have had twice the character development if you had cut out like 5 of the sex with farm girl scenesWhat do you think the narrator could have done better?
The main character had the same tone throughout even though, to begin with, he was a mess.Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
yeah angry and embarrassed I listen to audiobooks on transport and in public so all the sex scenes were just not needed at all.Any additional comments?
pick a genre and stick to it, could have done without all the needless sex scenes not saying to have none just cut it back dude.Teenage wet dream............
