The Disappeared

a post-apocalyptic sci-fi adventure

by Valerie J. Mikles

They needed a pilot… but he hadn’t expected to find one like this.

Had Danny just caught a break or brought a world of trouble down on them?

It wasn’t the most modern ship, but he loved her. The Oriana might have been a 400-year old cargo ship, but she got the job done and it was home. When he saw the woman running across the space port, Danny’s first instinct, as always, was to try to help.

Not all distressed women are damsels.

She might have needed a hand at that moment, but Corey wasn’t a shrinking violet. She was bounty hunter with a sharp mind, deadly skills, and an ex trying to chase her down. It wasn’t her way to rely on other people, but desperate times call for quick thinking.

One insanely short job interview later...

…and both of their lives were changed.

It was time to go.

You’ll love this space adventure, because a found family is worth fighting for, even if it means learning to trust.

Get it now.

Excerpt:

The New Dawn is a science fiction action adventure series. Humans have moved away from this solar system and colonized a new planet, Aquia, and that planet's moons: Terrana and Caldori. They think they’ve hit a gold mine – an uninhabited water planet – but something strange evolves the longer they stay. Humans developing super-human ability. Not great strength or power, just something to suggest that there once was life on this planet, and that life shifted to another plane of existence.

It’s too late to leave. The planet was devastated after a war with the Caldori settlement. The surviving cities retreated into protective domes, and have lived in relative isolation for the past four hundred years, resulting in divergent and unique cultures, some thriving, some dying, some dead and gone. As Oriana's crew limps home on their ancient, dilapidated cargo ship, they happen upon settlements and nomadic tribes, each with a survival story to tell. Each with their own superstitions about about their evolving abilities.

You will love this science fiction adventure series featuring found families, supernatural aliens, and hope for tomorrow. Get it now!

About the Author

I'm a scientist by day, writer by night, and in between I dance, play music, and do community theater.

I am aromantic, asexual, and agender, and I was writing books long before I figured any of that out. I’m the author of The New Dawn science fiction series, so named because every new dawn is a new chance to make things right. While developing my novels, I wrote and produced a series of comedic films about asexuals surviving the hypersexual world, inspired by my own journey. My newest novel is a stand-alone featuring an asexual, aromantic astronomer (and a weather satellite for good measure). My motto in life is that I can be everything I want, just not all at the same time.
