It’s official; friend, author and voice man extraordinaire Steve Van Samson is going to narrate the Colony Lost sequel novella for Audible and iTunes.
Steve’s a fantastic writer as well as the host of the Retro Ridoctopus podcast, and having him take the series over feels like a great choice for the Ghara universe.
He’ll be recording soon enough and once we have a better idea on a release date, I’ll give details. In the meantime… here’s the blurb:
//
The First Expeditionary Marines of the Colonies of Ghara scratched out a foothold on the wild planet of Selva five years ago, with only a tenth of the expedition surviving the onslaught of monsters the planet offered.
Having destroyed the entire colony of mutating, horrifying insects, husband and wife pair of Master Sergeant Dustin Cline, and Captain Melody Cline have their son on the world, as do hundreds of other colonists, safe on islands, or at the top of massive trees that evolved to repel the spitter bugs. They’re trying to build new lives on a new world.
Mines have been built, and trains now run between the few major settlements.
But sedition grows. Miners forced to work long hours for unfair wages in dangerous conditions are striking out in rebellion, declaring themselves free from the yoke of the government that sent out the expedition.
But why now? Why would regular colonists see sense in fighting against the populations of four moons, protected by thousands of trained marines on a planet filled with monsters lurking in the dark jungles in every direction?
Because those same miners have uncovered something buried deep. Something terrible.
Something worse than the fear of authority, and if they don’t act fast, they’ll lose any chance at freedom they would ever have.
Dustin Cline and his rebuilt fire team are sent out to the mine at New Falun to discover just what exactly is going on, and what they find will change the future of humanity.
Rebellion is the least of Dustin and Melody’s problems.
If you’re interested in starting the story of the Ghara Chronicles, you’ll want to grab Colony Lost, and soak in the story of the first colonists landing on Selva, and the chaos that ensued. https://amzn.to/3ACjPs0
