And they have warned Earth-Born of the consequences of attacking Here-Born.As is historic; Earth-Born has ignored these warnings.

Once-Other by Lawrence M. Nysschens is a very interesting and different science fiction story from the ones you might have read before. It is definitely far more creative than the usual science fiction fare and I have to say, Once-Other actually feels very much on the same level as Star Wars and Star Trek. There is something about the way Lawrence M. Nysschens writes that just clicks with you and you want to keep on reading. Even though science fiction is really not my cup of tea, I was riveted by the characters and the background. Reviewed by Rabia Tanveer for Readers' Favorite 5*****Stars

They fled Earth as emigrants to escape the One World Government. They were willing to colonize a desert world just to be free.

Later, they fought Earth in their First War of Independence. Now they fight a Second War for Independence but political betrayal runs rife, driven by greed.

Can Once-Other as a simple soldier of this strange and unique war make a difference?

A novel with powerful spiritual undertones, Once-Other by Lawrence M. Nysschens presents man's pain in loss, his battles, both spiritual and physical, and his journey to conquering fear and embracing himself. Set in the symbolic regions of the desert -- and I couldn't help reflecting on the deserts of our souls as I read on -- the reader is introduced to Once-Other, a man whose life seems to be in disarray because of his ex-wife's control over their son. Besides his personal struggles, he is engaged in a peculiar war to achieve freedom for his people in the Here-Born. The story unveils dread truths about a spiritual journey of the warrior towards self-realization and growth. Once-Other's battle, his greatest battle, is with himself, the battle to unlock his full potential by conquering his inner demons and fears... Christian Sia for Readers' Favorite 5 Stars
