What to expect
Seven tales of conflict set among the stars, driven by the very roots of humankind’s Earth-bound strife. Yet even in the face of the vast void of space, these brave souls fight to hold on to their humanity.
This audiobook includes the following stories:
“Dawns a New Day”—A seemingly innocuous artifact all but destroys the technological world. It is up to one uncommon girl to lead the way out of the darkness.
“The Steady Drone of Silence”—An engineer at a remote testing facility makes a cold, hard discovery. Will he and his team survive to correct his miscalculation?
“Travellin’ Show”—Ever doomed to wander, the Romani take to the stars to build a new life, only to discover society’s prejudices have followed. When one of their own goes missing, the lines between justice and vengeance blur.
“Casualties of War”—The lone survivor of a deadly battle, a young conscript despairs that no one will find him before he falls to the scavengers. Only a trophy taken from a fallen soldier renews his hope he will come out of this alive.
“The Devil’s Own Luck”—A stowaway on a star freighter discovers those chasing him are the least of his worries as the ship he has hidden on is hijacked by pirates.
“No Man Left Behind”—Missing and presumed dead, a soldier captured by the opposition is forced to use his demolition skill to set a trap for his own team.
“New Discoveries”—Conflicts increase between unaltered colonists and gene-mods on the colony planet Fremont. A young girl, raised to distrust those altered, learns that differences say less about a person than their choices.
