Produktbeschreibung
A four-year war has raged across the colonised worlds of The Extent. Nations reel from violence and betrayal and the Skean Republic stands alone. Despite fierce diplomatic negotiations, tensions rise while, bordering the vast region of space known as The Abyssal Void, the conflict threatens the nation of Akatsu. A young, wealthy socialite and ex-assassin has grown up on Hiroshi and now lives in the famed floating city of Yori. Working for Akatsu's secretive science team, Kagaku-sha Chimu, she strives to save her planet from the hated United Colonial Systems. Accompanied by the loyal, catlike Jira, she plays a dangerous game in which her friends and her city are the potential collateral. The very future of her world is at stake. In the middle of the Abyssal Void, at Port McKinley, Acting Captain Kurt Bergstrom is about to graduate. Young and inexperienced, he has little idea the Akatsu are preparing to strike or of the bitter price he, his friends and his family will have to pay. It will be a baptism of fire, engulfing the stars, destroying his humanity and forging him into a weapon his enemies will not soon forget. The first of two, "Stars, Hide Your Fires" will take you to the stars: an alternate future, a galaxy collapsing into war and humans doing what humans do best.

Autorenporträt
I am a happily married Brit with two daughters living in the south of England. I've been reading science fiction since I was thirteen and it was from it that my love of science sprang. Science fiction is mind-expanding stuff and led to my degree in biology, a career in science and an eventual shift to computing. Science fiction made me a geek, a geek who loves to read, to write, to watch movies and experience science fiction any way I can. I've created and managed science fiction websites almost since the internet began (yes, I'm that old), starting with gaming guides and later recognising their potential for role play and storytelling, fiction based on and around gaming universes. I write as time allows, between local work, chores and so on and "Stars, Hide Your Fires" is the first fruit of my labours, the first of two books of ?The Abyssal Void War?. There is a long way to go, but I've written a lot of the second book. I am also involved in a second, joint project based on H. G. Wells, ?The War of the Worlds?. I hope you enjoy this book and, if you have criticisms, please, can I ask you to let me know? You can contact me via my website.
