Apologies for this being my first post. I know it's not real classy, but I've been in a mad rush to get things done the past few weeks, and haven't had the chance to introduce myself. This is not a drive-by however, and I will be around.
I'm here to announce the release of my debut novel,
Stars Rain Down, which is now for sale in
Amazon's Kindle store and
Smashwords, and is also available as a free download through
my label and at
Feedbooks.
Quote:
Sometimes, it takes a crisis to figure out who you really are.
In the near future, an irreverent astronomer named Marcus Donovan discovers a strange relic hidden beyond Mars, and he commandeers an exploratory vessel under false pretenses to investigate.
While Marcus and his crew venture off into the unknown, a mysterious alien legion appears in Earth orbit and invades. Human civilization is dashed apart in the blink of an eye, and Jack Hernandez, a search and rescue specialist, is one of the lucky few survivors. Along with a handful of friends, Jack joins the scattered resistance and wages a desperate terrorist war against the aliens, striking back any way they can.
In the bloody struggle to reclaim their planet, Jack and Marcus are each thrust into roles they never could have imagined in a conflict as old as time. The fight takes them from China to Africa, and from Earth to Mars, while the secrets they uncover shake their understanding of humanity itself.
Stars Rain Down is about the horrors of warfare, and what happens when idealism collides with a savage fight for survival. Dominated by an enemy who shows neither compassion nor regret, the last remnants of mankind discover that every choice leads to unforeseen consequences, and mercy can triumph even in the face of mortal rage.
