The Blue African (The Benwarian Chronicles Book 2)
By L.W. Samuelson
This novel was intended to be a thriller about viruses and governmental conspiracy. Just when it was about to get depressing, Porter Tellez popped into my head and took over. His spaceship lands in South Africa during the Soweto riots of 1975. Unarmed and alone, he tries to survive in a hostile environment. Neither black or white but blue, it is a difficult task.
Trying to understand the world around him, he discovers American television. With a skewed understanding of South African society, he enters the world of apartheid. He brings hope to the oppressed and harsh lessons to his enemies. Saved by the beautiful Loreto, he finds love and friendship.
Come let the blue African sing and dance his way into your heart. He'll color your world with laughter and adventure mixed in with a little intrigue.

MY HONEST REVIEW OF The Blue African
When Porter
Tellez landed on Earth, smack dab in the middle of Africa, his mission was to
observe the earthlings, and send feedback to the mother ship. Instead, he
became a part of the surrounding culture, becoming known as the blue man. But
as Porter does his best to improve the status of his impoverished African
friends, the deeper he gets involved in human nature and politics.
This being the
first of the Porter Tellez series, and the second one that I have read, I
enjoyed learning the backstory on Porter. He is a very likeable and funny
character. Although, there was some very dark and graphic reading involved,
there was plenty of humorous situations. My heart went out to this poor nation
that was wronged by so many, and it was very satisfying when justice was meted
out. I enjoy how this author gives detailed and realistic descriptions of
surrounding scenery, no matter where the location is.
