Marcha Fox

Marcha Fox has knocked it out of the park with The Curse of Dead Horse Canyon Cheyenne Spirit. This engaging, entertaining, well written book with a well crafted plot is simply a fun mystery. The story line was presented in such a way that I wanted to see what would happen next. This book has everything, murder, corporate greed, a conspiracy, Native American and environmental issues all well told and interesting while mixing fact with fiction and Native American legends. It was very hard for show more me to put down even when I was reading this for a second time (yes, it is good enough to read more than once). The research Marcha Fox and Pete Risingsun did and shared is excellent. Treat yourself to a wonderful read and get this book. You won't be disappointed!
Thank you Marcha. show less

This book sat in my "to read" library for the last six months and quite honestly, regret not having delved into this story much sooner. This my first book by Marcha Fox and was a joy to read. A spaceship, with three entities, crashes on Earth near Area 51 and those on board are quickly taken prisoner by the military. Theron is a telepathic plant that can think, walk, transport, communicate, and is smarter than anyone living on Earth. The other two, a human teenage girl and a robot complete show more the crew. The robot and ship were dismantled so the science used can be back engineered in hopes of duplicating it.

A botanist, Gabe, is brought it to study the plant and he soon finds himself best of buds. Gabe has the ability to telecommunicate and learns from the plant. During their bonding sessions, readers learn that Area 51 allows spaceships to land periodically to inspect the facility; representatives are part of an interstellar cabinet that is responsible for peace and safety throughout the galaxy. I soon thought that this book may be a portion of the movie, "Guardians of the Galaxy". At a risk to his career, Gabe helps the plant rebuild the robot and put together a plan for their escape from this planet. The man in charge of the facility wants them all dead and does everything in his power to stop them.

It's a fun story with a great ending. The author has a knack for making this story seem realistic...perhaps, it all is! Highly recommended if you are either a science fiction reader or somebody that just wants to see what the future might hold for them. Great job, Marcha! show less

The Terra Debacle: Prisoners at Area 51
Star Trails Tetralogy, Book 7
By: Marcha Fox
Narrated by: T. W. Ashworth
This is an audible book I requested and the review is voluntary.
I haven't read the previous books but I had no problem with this book. It was a unique book in first contact, first contact with an alien plant life form. This plant life that thinks and communicates. It also travels. It is a very strange story (in a good way), I could picture this in a Twilight Zone show. No one but the show more scientist hears the plant communicate because the plant speaks directly to his mind. It is just silly enough, unique enough, and fun enough to work. Like I said...Twilight Zone....
There is a lot that goes on, it is weird and fun but totally out there but I had to keep listening. Great fun. The narrator did a great job of keeping this book going and not making it a comic or too serious. Just right! show less

Beyond the Hidden Sky
Star Trails Tetralogy, Book 1
By: Marcha Fox
Narrated by: T. W. Ashworth
This is an audible book I requested and the review is voluntary. I have read another book by this author and really enjoyed it but I found in this book there were places that lagged. The characters weren't as well developed as I would have liked and the suspense/tension situation seemed to always fall flat.
I did love the plot and the type of imagination for the creatures! I have been reading hard core show more sci-fi all my life so it may be that teens are going to love this, especially those new to the genre.
I remember getting my first sci-fi book at the age of 5. It was about men on Mars (think creatures on Mars). I about split my face smiling! I was already so sick of boring Dick and Jane!
The narrator I cannot endorse. I think that brought the book down rather than enhancing it. A better narration would have made a big difference too. show less
