My Alien Penfriend

Zmod was excited! He was actually in contact with an earthling called Darius- a boy living on a strange planet on the opposite side of the galaxy called Earth. Zmod had lots of questions about Earth - did it really only have one moon?! Was it true that people were able to live above ground?!

The two children communicate across the galaxy and form a friendship in their quest to learn more about each other's planets. As unknown forces threaten his planet and put his life in danger Zmod discovers the importance of true friendship.




In moments of boredom, be they running on a treadmill or listening to lectures at yet another scientific conference, Faiz often found his mind beginning to wander into the mysterious realms of outer space. As circumstances for these explorations increased, he found himself creating the mysterious planet of Bartoch, inhabited by the friendly alien child called Zmod. In his first fiction book "My Alien Penfriend", Faiz looks at how Zmod's growing intergalactic friendship with a child on Earth reveals the darker secrets of his home planet. Faiz lives happily far away from Bartoch in London, England with his wife.
