Book Description:
The alien culture of the
brajj, to which Cass and her team are transported, is deftly revealed over
time, not over-explained or tediously described. The interactions between
humans and aliens are well handled. Plot twists at the end are genuinely startling,
and leave the reader anticipating the sequel. IndieReader
Aliens, zombies, romance and
a wormhole all wrapped up in a mystery!
*Rated Mature 17+ for
violence, language, sexual scenes, gore* Science Fiction/Romance/Adventure
(Serious sci-fi with a romance-this
is not a fluffy bunny)
Haunted by dreams of an
alien world and obsessed with unlocking the mystery, Dr. Cass Baros does the
improbable. She creates a wormhole. While her team preps to traverse it, she
becomes more suspicious of her fiancé and co-project leader, Dr. Julian
Saunders. Is he really so jealous and secretive?
Her boss, Dr. Janson, also
has an agenda, which includes adding an U.S. Army contingent to her scientific
team. Captain Lewis seems intelligent, but an army grunt is still a grunt,
right? As if this isn’t enough to make a normal woman paranoid—and Cass is
anything but normal—her dreams have altered to include an alien man who thinks
she’s their predestined queen and savior.
Once through the wormhole,
they make first contact with the brajj, and Cass meets Jeamon, the man from her
dreams. According to him, she must be taken to the brajj’s leader, Master. Cass
is conflicted. She is drawn to Jeamon, but still engaged to Julian and
rightfully uncertain, though she feels changes occurring within her.
Unable to return home and
facing numerous dangers—external and internal—the team deals with this
fascinating new world, including an altering Cass. How far is the team willing
to go to discover answers? What is Cass willing to do if she is to be a savior?
What will Jeamon choose when faced with split loyalties?
Forced to choose between
their old lives and their new ones, Cass and Jeamon are plunged into an
adventure beyond their control. One in which the rest of the team must struggle
to survive along with them as they unravel the millennia old secrets of the
brajj’s world.
Passion and love, genius and
madness, jealousy and danger enough to cause the death of worlds await them
through the wormhole...
About the Author:
I started writing fiction
when I was 15, and like most aspiring writers, my work was terrible, immature,
cliched drivel. But I kept at it, even went to college for my creative writing
degree before I understood how useless such degrees tend to be for real world
applications. I also got used to the typical reject letters. Eventually, I
needed annoying things like food, clothing and rent, so I got a real job and
ended up finishing my degree in paramedicine.
Since then, I've gained 19+
years of experience as a paramedic, and that's after joining the army which
paid for my degree. Of course, becoming a medic and honing the skills takes a
lot of energy, so my writing got derailed for many years but never forgotten.
Then a wonderful thing
happened. I woke up one morning with the fire to write fiction again. Sure, I'd
written plenty of medical reports. I'd been published online by writing medical
articles and was paid to write for a crafts blog, but I hadn't felt the
particular desire to write fiction in nearly a decade.
I was back.
I haven't stopped writing
fiction since Oct 2010, and I don't plan on stopping. In the last two years,
I've written over a million words and counting. As of Oct 2012, I've got a half
a dozen stories in progress and can barely keep up with my muse. Everything
from science fiction, fantasy, fiction, psychological thrillers, historical
fiction/action, horror, mystery and romance. If you enjoy my writing, then you
can expect the unexpected.
Here's to second chances.
