Produktbeschreibung

Following a calamitous space battle, a small damaged pod drifts amid the debris, a single individual aboard, clinging to the final moments of life. A ship, hidden behind a small orange and red hued moon while the battle raged, approaches the debris field, searching for items to salvage and discovers the pod.

The serendipitous encounter of two strangers in space spawns an extraordinary journey and a shared destiny neither could have imagined, which will decide the fate of two worlds on the brink of war.

A discerning and cautious General, aware of the devastation a war will wrought, seeks to avoid it. A ruling Governor, imprisoned by culture and tradition, is determined to pursue it. And a clandestine operative races against time in search of the key to prevent it.

Autorenporträt

A baby boomer, I was born in the Bronx, New York, inheriting a love of reading and travel from my adventurous mother. Her fascinating story a book in itself, one I have yet to convince her to write. I'm not sure where the writing bug came from, but I remember first putting pen to paper around the age of thirteen.
My restless urge to travel carried me around the United States and to distant corners of the world after college. Eventually I landed in Key West Florida in search of a crew position on any cruising yacht heading for far horizons. In the interim I completed flight lessons and acquired my private pilot's license.
I did find a yacht, a home built fifty five foot gaff rigged schooner, headed for the Caribbean, and I embarked on my first ocean crossing under sail. A life changing epiphany. I spent the next eight years living and sailing around the eastern Caribbean.
Long stretches at sea allowed countless hours absorbed in the pages of favorite authors like Chandler, Spillane, John and Ross MacDonald, Robert B. Parker, Le Carre, Forsyth, Follett, Dick Francis, Asimov, Clarke, Herbert, Wells, Verne, Bradbury, Heinlein; others too numerous to mention. And time to write. Short stories, a bit of science fiction, sailing and flying journals.
Following diverse careers as a charter and delivery captain, yacht broker, air traffic controller, marina manager, and raising two kids, I now write full time, imbuing my love of the sea and sky in my characters.
