The Starflower

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Step into a vast universe teeming with life, romance, heroism, and treachery as experienced and seen through the eyes of Gayle Zimmon. 'Zim' a young woman successful in war but naive to the machinations of the greater universe, returns from combat to confront genetically engineered humans and discover that she was sent to war not to win but to die. While fighting the Aldrakin, Zim learns of a prophecy foretelling that the "Starflower," her military call sign, will bloom "in the dark of the darkest night" but never know peace. Not one to accept ancient prophecy, after securing victory, she hopes to rekindle her romance with Mac and return to the peaceful life they left on the frontier. But she is a major player in a galaxy-spanning intrigue she barely understands. Forces alien and cybernetic hold the stakes and align on both sides. Between dodging assassins, hostile planets, deadly robots, mystical aliens, and ancient relics, she must decide whether to continue running from her prophesied destiny-or try to live up to it.

Autorenporträt

K.A. Kenny is a life-long spinner of curious tales-with friends around the dinner table and campfire, or across the bar. He marches to the sound of the guns, often where others cannot imagine going. After a long career in technical writing and intelligence analysis, K.A. turned to the serious work of speculative fiction. His short stories may be found in e-zines: Of Metal and Magic, Altered Reality, and Across the Margin, and Bewildering Stories, and on his blog Strange Things Done. The Starflower is his first novel of a planned trilogy; the sequel Agent of Blue Star is in progress. Mr. Kenny lives with his wife and two large dogs in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. ¿
