On the planet Ankor, Klubbe the turkle lives as a hermit. A marine mishap inspires him to be an inventor. His inventions and explorations change his life, his entire planet. Turkles are close cousins of turtles. Unlike them, they have yellow golden skin and back shells, walk on their hind legs, have the gift of language, and the ability to create their own culture. The life of Klubbe may read like a light-hearted science fiction story, but it actually happened to him. Princess Corka thinks his invention is sublime. Ubbtosh, the pyramid priest, promises to guide him to the core of the cosmos. In space, there are no sign posts, he finds, but there are other beings. And on Ankor, there are mysteries to be solved. Is the Great Glom more than a myth? And what about the Great Archy Eopta?

By Mik Hetu, Author This is the kind of book meant for readers who like to immerse themselves in another world. The descriptive details he includes show that he has thoroughly imagined the world and the story. The characters are likeable, and especially younger readers will probably find all of it charming.

By Anela This book was provided to me by the author for review.With a tone like a cross between Tolkien’s chapter “Concerning Hobbits” and “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”, this insightful, yet lovably unique Science-Fiction novel was a joy to read.The Turkles of Ankor are a refreshingly optimistic people and a great departure from the usual muck and mire depicted in the political landscape of Sci-Fi books. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good space intrigue, but sometimes it’s nice to see a bit of the inspirational in the galactic setting as well.Now, one might be concerned that there’d be a lack of tension in a story based on such upbeat folk, but I found this one had a tantalizing carrot at the end of its creative stick: Curiosity, of the explorer variety to be precise. This was embodied by the main character, a thoughtful and ingenious turkle named Klubbe. Quirky and plain spoken, I enjoyed following his adventures.Fantastic world building as well. Everything from Klubbe’s country hometown (adorably located in an area called Snug in the Pillow) to the barge traveled waters surrounding the capital city, to the marine-like names of the many foods, teas and juices of the turkles, made Ankor feel like a real place just beyond my known galaxy.I must also call out that this was a perfect example of the use of the omniscient voice. As one of the more challenging forms of writing, I applaud the author on his skill and his consistency when deploying it here. It never interrupted or invaded the storytelling, rather it added greatly to its humorous tone. Very well done.A couple of lovely lessons came to my attention in this one, interwoven with some dry humor and good will. The First: Finding your purpose and striving to contribute to the world through that talent. This was summed up beautifully in this quote from the book: “We have to dig deep, to find our roots, our skills, our bulb that will produce our stem, leaf and flower.”The Second: A reminder not to forget to enjoy the the life you’ve made. It shouldn’t always be about reaching for the next amazing thing but appreciating that which has been accomplished as well.Perfect for anyone with a touch of the adventurer and the philosopher in their veins. A great story told in straight forward language without the use of a lot of fussy words. And no need to worry about freaky dreams with this one if you like to read before bed, or indigestion if you tend to take your afternoon tea with a side of literature. This wonderful story is like a Science-Fiction cozy, with a healthy dollop of exploration on top.Amid the Imaginary: https://amidtheimaginary.wordpress.com/

It has a breathable atmosphere, an ocean and seas teaming with fish and other creatures, and at least one continent, called Crustacea. The climate is mostly mild, but like on Earth, it varies from snowy fields to exotic jungles. The wildlife is rich and includes species unique to the planet and also those found on Earth. What makes Ankor very different from our planet is its “guardian race”, the Turkles. They are close cousins of turtles, but they “walk on their hind legs, and have the gift of language, and the ability to create their own culture.” And that culture is fascinating. It has familiar elements, such as a royal family, country folk working in fields, villagers, and the dwellers of the capital city with various institutions. There are Turkle innkeepers, artists, inventors, and even university professors, but one also meets hermits and priests. On its face, it's a familiar society, and one can sympathize with Turkles' fondness of food and understand their family life. Nevertheless, Turkles are very different from us. They are seemingly devoid of greed, envy, and malice.It's hard to imagine such a society, let alone build an interesting and compelling world without villains, disasters and conflicts. Philip Dodd has succeeded. Klubbe the Turkle and the Golden Star Coracle, follows Klubbe's journey from the time he was a young hermit, to when he became an inventor, to his opening of the space era for Turkles. Klubbe's adventures are very different from our typical hero's journey, but they do have their share of twists and turns. Characters like King Zilk and Queen Zubria, and Kribb the aspiring journalist for the Turkle Times, add humor to the story. The reaction of Turkle society to changes brought by Klubbe's inventions make the story richer and more interesting.While I mostly liked the poetic tone of the storytelling, some sentences felt convoluted and jarred my reading. For example: “Then, like his sister, he attended to what the young man was saying, who was speaking out from the middle of the television screen, while sat in the bow of a grey motor boat, which bobbed up and down on fairly rough waves, with its engine turned off.” Nevertheless, Ankor and its inhabitants is a planet I've enjoyed to discover. Recommended for everyone who'd like to meet a genuinely nice race in our galaxy.I received a free copy of the book in exchange for a non-reciprocal review.
