A Crisis in the Sky
About this ebook
The rocket is ready, and the promise of a new future awaits Toume and Chi’s exploration of space. Yet that dream is turning desperate. Drought afflicts many islands, and the resources needed to repair the wells are becoming scarce. Only the launch can save many from dying of thirst.
Then, an unknown menace from space, more powerful and more oppressive than anything Toume has ever known, threatens to disrupt any chance he has at saving his planet. They deliver an ultimatum—do not leave the planet or annihilation will come.
But this threat does not unite the clans against it. The Ihaashe and the Vaghka seek to take advantage of the situation, and their scheming drives a rift between Toume and Karima, and their alliance, and there is little time to repair it.
Toume must fight to save his planet, but only if he can save himself first.

About the author
Marc B. DeGeorge has made every attempt in his adult life to maintain a balance between how much science and how much art he dabbles in. Sometimes, he’s even successful. When he was young, he wanted to be an astronaut, and then an aeronautical engineer—he even went to Space Camp! But then he learned how to play guitar and his space dreams took a back seat. He spent a decade playing professionally in bands and studying music in college (university only took five years). These days, things have come round full circle, and Marc envisions the future by writing books that imagine what challenges humanity may face, and what we might accomplish together.
When Marc isn’t writing, he performs traditional Japanese music on shamisen and writes, shoots and edits performing arts photos and video—check out some of his work here: https://www.musemarc.com
