Verdant Pioneers, the sequel to the hit Verdant Skies, is now available at Steven Lyle Jordan books and other major booksellers, for $2.99US.
The city-satellite Verdant has spent a year out in deep space, moving from system to system in search of the raw materials it needs to survive, fighting off terrorist factions that seek to force their return to Earth influence, and unsure of Earth's state. No one on Earth knows Verdant's status, either, and both sides are afraid of aggression from the other.
And when the deep-space discovery of the age is spoiled by the unexpected disappearance of one of their freighters, Julian Lenz and his staff must make a difficult decision: To take Verdant into hiding, perhaps forever; or to return to Earth, and risk Verdant's survival.
By popular demand: Fans everywhere (especially around here!) raved over
Verdant Skies, and demanded to know what happened to the satellite and its residents after they left Earth orbit.
Verdant Pioneers is the second chapter of Verdant's epic journey.
