“Dad? Mom? I think I can do it.” (Do what?) “Save the world?” or Don’t touch the cute space robot on the weird planet in the first place

Blake Laser by Keith Marantz

November 15, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Blake Laser is a fun story for the lover of science-fiction, love of a little fantasy, of course aliens and just the right amount of humor.
