Journey Star

[ecosophia]

I'm delighted to announce the publication of my latest novel:  Journey Star, the sequel to The Fires of Shalsha. We're back on the colony world Eridan, three centuries or so after the Earth choked to death on the waste products of human industry, and the story continues.  Here's the blurb...

"Twenty years have passed on the colony world Eridan since the end of the war between the warrior mystics of the Halka and the heirs of the tyrannical Planetary Directorate. With the Directorate and its lethal battle-drones gone, the Halka have turned all their strength to the struggle against the cannibalistic Outrunners, so that Eridan can finally be made safe for human settlement.

 

"Yet new forces are moving as the last Outrunner bands are hunted down, and one of the survivors—an Outrunner girl whose body contains an artificial symbiotic life form—may hold the key to Eridan's survival. As strange signals arrive from space and dissension spreads through the ranks of the Halka, the girl, the symbiont, and the last heir to the Directorate's secret knowledge must reach Journey Star, the starship that brought humanity to Eridan. What they find there may begin a new era for Eridan...or destroy the Halka and everything they hope to defend."

This and The Fires of Shalsha are my closest approach to hard science fiction, complete with starships and the challenges of an alien ecology. Check out the new book here and, if you haven't yet read the original volume (my first published novel!), you can pick it up here. 

***Update:*** The ebook version is now avaiable! You can get it in any format you prefer here.
