Thanks to some extremely helpful feedback from this forum I’ve finished and uploaded my SF novel to Amazon. I have had a few sales, and a positive review, too. If you’re tired of derivative fantasy/vampire/occult/zombie stories being passed off as real science-fiction, you might like to give it a try instead:

On the Commonwealth’s frontier, hundreds of light-years from Earth, war is brewing between humanity and the Golden Empire of the Arukai. Despotic Emperor Jekobar refuses every attempt to broker a peace; all-out conflict seems inevitable.
After striking an orbital mine, Jason Standing’s needleship crashes on the low-tech preserve planet of Kanukar’s Retreat. But for his providential discovery by a young hunter he would surely have died unnoticed in the forest, badly injured, helpless and completely alone.
Against all odds, the pair discover a mutual attraction which transcends species and the barrier of language. When Jason is abducted by Jekobar’s forces it appears nothing can stand in the way of the looming Armageddon other than Kansie’s vow to rescue Jason at any cost, driven to acts of desperation by instinct, loneliness, and the power of forbidden love.
