Stelzer's Travels,
By Tami Brady "Whole Health" (Calgary, Canada) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME) (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Stelzer's Travels: A Voyage to a Sensible Planet (Paperback)
Stelzer's Travels: A Voyage to a Sensible Planet takes the reader on an incredible journey to the Luxenben. Our host is David Stelzer, an over the hill businessman from the planet Earth. Stelzer's one true love is money. The pursuit of this one true love takes up most of the man's life and almost all of his thinking. However, a strange set of events was about to make Stelser question his motives, his life, and everything he once held dearly.Stelzer's amazing journey was to start on a routine trip to Brith Shalom, a temple and Hebrew language school. Once again, Stelzer was trying to squeeze money out of the Rabbi Samuels for overdue rent on the property he rented from Stelzer. Once again, no real money was forthcoming. What's worse is that Stelzer managed to volunteer himself into taking Rabbi Samuels' strange fanatical assistant Neuman to some mysterious meeting. The next thing Stelzer knows is that he is on some Utopic planet where the two-headed inhabitants are twice as smart as the one headed assortment of semi-intellectual inhabitants from other planets that are housed in zoos. Stelzer's Travels: A Voyage to a Sensible Planet is intelligent, humbling, and completely entertaining. The inner workings of Luxenben are extremely detailed and presented in an extremely tight sequence. The author even recreates the full history of the planet (which resembles our own in many ways) and relays the Cartish foundational system that saved this planet from its imminent destruction. The extremely well developed characters are unique and extremely creative yet hold a realistic reminiscent spark of those individuals in our own lives and in our own society. An amazing journey to a sensible planet.

Review of Stelzer's Travels,
By Philip B. Zwart - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stelzer's Travels: A Voyage to a Sensible Planet (Paperback)
This intriguing tale of travel to another planet makes for very good reading. The underlying story will touch your heart. It includes a good deal of humor and suspense. And, the imaginative science-fiction ideas, different from anything this reader has previously encountered, are smoothly introduced in a way that enhances the overall effect.But don't think that this is merely a good piece of fiction. Like most of us, the author clearly does not approve of some aspects of our current religious, political and economic systems. Such as: How do we get a truly free enterprise system that keeps the wealthy from enjoying an automatic advantage over the rest of us? What kind of electoral system would result in candidates actually being capable and dedicated, as opposed to merely looking good? How do we avoid having candidates and elected officials cater to special interests? The author addresses these when describing how his "better world" functions. You may agree or disagree with some or all of the concepts. In any case, you will likely find them innovative and worthy of consideration. Though not a rapid reader, I was captivated, and read the book rather quickly. It held my interest. Being confident that others will enjoy this entertaining work, I have been recommending it to all my friends. This book could become a best seller! |
