About this ebook

Dropping out of subspace into the wrong galactic sector, Sethran Kada wakes up with a headache and an extraordinary alien aboard his ship. She implores him to help stop the abductions of her people, a newly evolved species emerging from subspace. Their dangerous potential has caught the attention of rebel factions as well as the ruling Commonwealth. When contact with her kind turns pilots into casualties, the Governors fear an imminent invasion engineered by their rebel enemies.

Pursued by Air Command, Seth heads deep into rebel-controlled territory to recover the stolen entities and keep this deadly weapon from falling into the wrong hands. Things get personal when his alien visitor begins to transform his mind and his life, turning the rescue mission into a fight for survival for all of them.

Ratings and reviews

what a thoroughly exciting story, a tale that is not bogged down with verbal rhetoric, a story that is interesting and excitingly suspenseful, with characters that are individually as exciting as the plot. The author has created personas for the main characters that you can easily engage with and has brought them to life, in such a way that you will find yourself having emphatic feelings for each of them in various ways as they grow within the stories framework. A wonderfully exciting and riveting tale that can be construed in such a way that it could be a feasible possibility. loved it, well worth the read.

I loved it. You get a good visual of the characters & their current surroundings without being over elaborated on. Too much detail can ruin a good story. You get pulled into the story just like those written by Roger Zelazny, David Eddings or Douglas Adams. Though it feels a little rushed, this is a great read. The only reason for not giving it 5 stars is that I really wished that it was more like 400 -600 pages long. I love a thick novel that I can really sink my teeth into. I can't give my opinion on how the book had ended without spoiling it for others. We all have our preferences (mine would probably have ended the series right there) but it gives a good lead-in to the next book in the series, also another excellent read. There is nothing better than to come out of reading a good book, taking a deep breath and saying "Wow. What a ride!"

Nicely thought out concept and world(s) with consistent and non-annoying follow through. Author doesn't make the mistake of trying to over-explain either characters or scientific processes to YA readers, instead focusing on how the plot developes within the characters' own experiences, realizations, and emotions, letting readers learn as they do. I've found the best YA books do this - get the reader involved and interested enough to investigate. Hope to see more about the entities in future books. :)

About the author

 Living in Canada, it is inevitable that those who lack enthusiasm for snow-related activities tend to stay indoors for a good portion of the year.
Thank goodness for computers. And sci-fi. And eBooks!

I've always loved fantasy worlds and writing about what might be possible, given a certain suspension of disbelief and a rude assault upon the laws of physics.
Since I've always suspected that there is far too much gravity on this planet, I tend to take my people to other worlds.
