Sentenced to Prism

Humanx Commonwealth, Book 5

By: Alan Dean Foster

Narrated by: Eric Jason Martin

One man struggles to survive on a hostile alien world in this thrilling adventure from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Madrenga.

Some people are convinced they can do anything; Evan Orgell is one of them. So when his company president sends him off-world to investigate a breakdown in communications from a small research station on a newly discovered planet, he's all in. The planet's resources could mean massive profits for the company-and a successful mission could mean massive advancement for Evan. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Clad in a Mobile Hostile World suit, Evan has no doubts about his safety-until he lands on the world of Prism. Though he's already dealt with thousands of theoretical extraterrestrial problems, nothing prepares him for what he finds there. Hungry, invading lifeforms are everywhere. Over two dozen highly trained people have been overwhelmed and killed, some with their bones eaten from the inside out. It's utter devastation. Then, while Evan searches for survivors, his indestructible suit meets its match-and he must face the bloodthirsty predators of Prism alone, unprotected, with only his wits to rely on . . .

How he created creatures so foreign to our experience.

the plot development was twisted interestingly. sure the indigenous life was responsible sible, was surprised

phenomenal story

I read this years ago. A favorite that finally was made into an audio production.
Classic Old school sci-fi.

Incredibly Unique Alien Planet!!!

Completely captivated the entire story. The descriptions of flora and fauna were so unique and different than anything I could have imagined. I could have listened to a book simply describing the planet with no story and still been happy. The story is also fantastic. Well done. I know I’ll re listen to this one multiple times.

excellent

one of my top ten books of all time. the Audible version is a great excursion into ole fashioned scifi that brings back a flood of memories

Awesome original story. Good reading

Love Alas Dean foster. Especially this book. Great stand alone story that can also be enjoyed if you know the bigger universe
