A post-war interstellar space opera adventure. The long interstellar war between the Placers and the alien Xarrt race is over. Everyone should embrace peace, but renowned warship captain Rakkel is battling his emotions, facing a future that is anxiously unfamiliar. A disgruntled Xarrt warrior attacks a defenceless enemy outpost, not wanting the war to end. Rakkel is sent to catch this traitor. On the Placer homeworld, religious leader Ar-Bekan rallies his followers. The end of the war finally gives them the opportunity to reach out into space and seek the mythical land of their forefathers. War orphan Mavina has nothing to lose in life, and joins the daring band of stowaways as they cross war-torn systems, hoping to discover a proof which will unite a divided society. More than one person holds a secret, more than one seeks a truth, and more than one is in denial. Is this really peace? If so, how many endings - and beginnings - will it nurture?
Autorenporträt
Chris Towndrow has been a writer since 1991.He began writing science fiction, inspired by Asimov, Iain M Banks, and numerous film and TV canons. After a few years creating screenplays across several genres, in 2004 he branched out into playwriting and has had several productions professionally performed. This background is instrumental in his ability to produce realistic, compelling dialogue in his books.His first published novel was 2012's far-future, post-war space opera "Sacred Ground". He then changed focus into Earth-centric, near-future sci-fi adventures, and the Enna Dacourt pentalogy was completed in 2023. In a similar vein, "Nuclear Family" was a venture into post-apocalyptic fiction.He has always drawn inspiration from the big screen, and 2019's quirky romantic black comedy "Tow Away Zone" owes much to the films of the Coen Brothers. This spawned two sequels in what became the "Sunrise trilogy".His first historical fiction novel, "Signs Of Life", was published by Valericain Press in 2023. With a number of excellent reviews, this Western romance has been his most popular title.In 2023, Chris returned to his passion for writing accessible humour and will devote his efforts to romantic comedies. The first of these, "Floored", is published in April 2024 under the pen name Chrissie Harrison.Chris lives on the outskirts of London with his family and works as a video editor and producer. He is a member of the UK Society of Authors and the Romantic Novelists Association.
