Description
As project head Dr. Zheng discusses the gateway, an armed man calling himself John Smith takes Zheng hostage and causes an explosion. When the rubble clears, Glitch is alive but trapped with Air Force Captain Scarlett Anderson on the other side of the gateway!
Far from home on an alien world, Glitch and Anderson must find Zheng before the planet's inhabitants can eat, crush, drown, or execute them. Even if they can escape in one piece, will they still have a home to come back to?
Glitch Mitchell and the Unseen Planet is a sci-fi adventure that features exotic alien worlds and fast-paced suspense. If you liked the wild adventures of Flash Gordon, you'll love this thrill-ride throughout the universe!

Book Title: Glitch Mitchell & The Unseen Planet
Author: Philip Harris
Genre: YA Sci/Fantasy
Stars: 4/5
Aliens. Danger. Impossible situations. Glitch Mitchell gets a taste of it all. “Glitch” Dwayne Mitchell, a certified nerd, enters a competition to win a spot viewing the new alien gateway NASA has found to another planet, another world. He’s surprised when he wins, but the happiness he feels quickly fades as he realizes that the other contestant winners look down on his for his unabashed nerdism. Soon he finds himself stuck on an unknown planet with an Air Force Captain and a renowned scientist fighting his way back to Earth.
This entire book was a nerd’s heaven to read. References were made left and right to popular SciFi and Fantasy culture. I tried to count, but quickly lost count. Danger after danger was pelleted at “Glitch”, the preferred nickname of the main character. Written in episodic format, Harris really laid on the suspense with each chapter hanging off the ledge, urging you forward to learn how “Glitch” and his companions would get out of the current sticky situation. Lighthearted, and funny in some areas, this book was overall a very fun read.
The moment I spotted a Doctor Who reference early on I knew this book was going to be good. There are also references to things that appeal to me on a deep nerdy level like Gimli, from Lord of the Rings, Wookies, Disney, and lots of other things you;d recognize if you are in the geek pop culture.
The plot was fast paced, and the danger seeped out in almost every page. Every once in awhile it’s nice to read something that’s fun, light and keeps you turning the page well past midnight.
Favorite Quote: “For a moment, he thought Fido would fling him onto the ledge, Gimli style”
Recommend For: Fans of Aliens, Sci Fi, Flash Gordon
