Description
Cyn-Tia Silverthorne wakes up to find herself stranded on an alien planet.
She finds seven other teenaged humans and they are as confused as she is.
To
Cyn’s delight, and some apprehension, twenty-four aliens (all teens on
their own planets) have also been deposited: eight Temman, eight Irandi,
eight Reannone.
Every day, supplies and instructions are delivered
to their village for pickup by the managing committee—which consists of
Cyn, Stire, Frakis A Kirba, and Tine Jana—one representative from each
race.
After a time, the four races create a working collective, but they soon decide to rebel.
The Guardian appears and sends them on a series of quests, but the grand purpose of the experiment still eludes them.

John P, Reviewer
"An Alien Perspective" eBook was published in 2017 and was written by Roxanne Barbour (https://roxannebarbour.wordpress.com). Ms. Barbour has published five novels.
The story is set in contemporary times, though it takes place on another planet. The primary character is 17 year old Cyn-Tia Silverthorne. She wakes up to find herself with seven other Humans and 24 aliens split between three other races.
None know why they are there. Alien tech allows them to communicate easily with one another. They are given a number of challenges by their abductors that they must complete as a team. Silverthorne finds herself on the managing committee for the group. She encounters many issues and experiences a variety of emotions. She also finds herself drawn to one of the males from another species.
I spent 4+ hours reading this science fiction young adult novel with a touch of romance. I liked the characters. I also thought that the plot was interesting. It was a story dealing with how teens must adapt and learn to cope with their unwanted situation. I felt it was a little weak, but then again I guess that is part of being a young adult novel. The cover is OK, but one showing a scene from the story would have been better in my opinion. I give this novel a 3.8 out of 5.
