Having a body made of alien nanoparticles has its advantages. Figuring out how to use it is the problem.

A year ago, the world was almost destroyed by an alien artifact. Then the artifact went missing. It lies hidden somewhere, a ticking bomb of potential destruction. Bobby Truex knows exactly where it is.

Bobby is only sixteen, but he has seen more tragedy than most people will ever see. Now he just wants to be Bobby Truex. He wants to read books, explore the forest and river near his new home, maybe have a girlfriend. Most of all, he doesn’t want to hurt anyone.

But how can you live a normal life if your body is the most dangerous thing on Earth? Bobby realizes he needs to learn what he’s capable of and what he should never try to do. For this, he enlists the help of Ashley, the only girl who knows he is no longer human.

Bobby is a fast learner, but learning requires trial and error. If he succeeds, maybe he can make the world a better place. If he fails… well, anything could happen.

FUSED: TRAINING DAY is a novella for readers who love alien contact, mind-bending concepts, and coming-of-age stories.

Stan C. Smith’s secret formula? Create strange worlds filled with even stranger creatures. Drop in unsuspecting characters. Shake vigorously. The results are always fun—unless you’re a character in his worlds. Stan lives with his wife Trish deep in the Ozark Forest of Missouri, where creatures are more docile than those in his novels. His goal is to stimulate your sense of wonder, get your heart pounding, and keep you reading late into the night. His books are for anyone who loves adventure, discovery, and mind-bending surprises.

I'M A REALIST BUT INSTANTLY LOVED THIS SCI-FI PREQUEL!

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2020

I've been a lover of “true stories” for as long as I can remember. However, as I've gotten a little older, I have branched out and discovered a new love—the science fiction novels Stan C. Smith crafts. In fact, I was shocked at how much I liked them! Stan’s books capture me because he weaves believable stories that highlight the struggles we all face as we select guiding principles and the repercussions they bring. My first experience with Stan’s books came with his Diffusion trilogy where I first encountered the characters: Bobby, Ashley, Addison, Quentin, Lindsey, and the Lamotelokhai (Lamo). They all return in this prequel, Fused: Training Day. Some back story: in the Diffusion series, the Lamo fused with sixteen-year-old Bobby Truex. Thanks to the Lamo, even though Bobby appears to be human, he is not. Now Bobby has unlimited transformational abilities and world-changing powers. While Fused builds on the Diffusion-Infusion-Profusion trilogy, readers new to Stan’s sci-fi books can freely and easily jump into this new series. If you are on the fence about exploring science fiction stories, I recommend that you give this “alien contact, coming-of-age story” a try!

I enjoyed this quick read as a prequel to the upcoming new series by Stan C. Smith. He became one of my favorite authors over this past year! My husband and I love creative, new and different types of sci-fi (how many space battles can you get excited about anyway, eh?) Stan fills the bill with his quirky characters, bizarre creatures and wildly horrifying and even hilarious situations.
Fused-Training Day is actually a continuation from the DIFFUSION series. It is a good introduction to Stan's writing, but I would advise starting with the first book in any of his series and going from there. You'll have a blast!

Definitely startling to one’s imagination.

I hardly know what to say here. If you are familiar with Stan Smith’s writing and creativity, you’ll understand. His main character is an off-shoot from another series. He became incredible then and he is shown to be even more incredible now. Actually, Bobby is discovering what he can and shouldn’t do with his amazing abilities. They are so off the charts that he must learn to control them. Fortunately, a girlfriend, who understands his predicament lends a helping hand. Where will this all lead? We won’t know until Mr. Smith decides to embellish us by continuing the series. In the meantime, this is a fascinating foundation for possibly more wild adventures to come. I only wish that they would spend more time in Belize where I live. That was a pleasant surprise. Obviously, if you like the unusual and can forego disbelief, this book is for you.
I received an arc and this is my honest and voluntary review.

This is a most amazing story! Stan C. Smith, an author I insist on following has written Fused: Training Day, a most unusual and original story about three kids and the Alamo who is fused with Bobby. I can’t wait to read more in the series as this short story has so many possibilities that Smith is so very good at exploring!

An enjoyable read from a great prequel. I was sorry to see the Diffusion series end so I am really happy to see the beginning of this spin-off series. I look forward to the rest of this series which I'm certain will be full of imaginative creations from the mind of Stan Smith.

I've read all of your books. I really like where this one is heading. So no rest for you. Get your fingers flying.
Thanks!

I thoroughly enjoy Stan Smith’s books. His imagination amazes me. I’ve read his “ Across Horizons “ series, “ Bridger”series and am now reading the Diffused series. Keep writing, Stan!
