Apologies for the lateness of this week’s ship’s bulletin. I have the kind of brain that only holds one thing at a time, and I’ve been flat out putting the finishing touches to Space Colony One book eight, Redeemer.
Battle to save a doomed planet
When the Concordian colonists finally reached Earth after years lost in space they expected a short visit. All they needed was bio-material to reseed their world.
What they hadn’t anticipated was the arrival of the Scythians.
They learn the deadly aliens attacked the planet once before, devastating the burgeoning civilization. Now they’re here to stay.
Earth is weak. Humanity has barely begun to climb back to its previous level of development. The Concordians face a terrible choice: stick around and help in the effort to repel the invasion, or return home and save Concordia.
Each option carries its own risks, but with or without the Concordians’ help, Earth seems doomed.
Redeemer is book eight in the epic space colonization adventure, Space Colony One.
I’m happy to say the penultimate story of Cherry, Aubriot, Wilder and the rest of the Concordian colonists is complete bar the edits, and it will be going out to paid subscribers and Patreon supporters on Monday.

There’s also some exciting news from the ship’s pond habitat – we have frog spawn! I took a pic but it’s really bad so I’ll take a better one for next week’s message.
I’ve also been busy uploading new books to Youtube. Book one of Shadows of the Void, Generation, has over 10K views! The story concludes next week with Shadow War, when I’ll be doing a live chat. Do drop by to say hi.

An ancient war re-ignites.
When Taylan Ellis saved the life of the woman who wanted her dead, she unknowingly sparked a chain of events that promises to reawaken a war between ancient rivals.
Blissfully ignorant of what she’s done, Taylan has resumed her search for her children in the West Britannic Isles, among the cultish Crusaders, hostile invaders of her homeland. To remain anonymous, she adopts a bizarre disguise and mercilessly plays upon their ridiculous beliefs.
Meanwhile, the global powers are ramping up for a confrontation that will decide the future of humanity. Taylan believes she has said a final goodbye to her involvement in the world war, but her ancestry means she still has a role to play.
The two paths she’s treading are about to converge. If she takes a wrong step, she may never reunite her family and human civilization is doomed.
The Resolute is book four in the epic space fantasy adventure, Star Legend.
Last week’s winner of a hardback copy of The Gallant is Elizabeth Hickey. Well done, Elizabeth.
