I have a new release! Inhuman Contact is the first prequel story in the Galactic Arena Series.
I originally outlined the plot to this story almost ten years ago. I envisioned it as a stand alone novel and decided I would have to wait until I had more writing experience before I could tackle its complexities. Later, I realised that it would be the perfect start to the Galactic Arena universe and I am so happy to have finally written the story that has been in my head for so many years.
You can get this ebook for free as part of my “starter library” that all new subscribers get.
Of course, if you would rather just buy it (as I’m sure many people will) then you can get it right now on Amazon for just $0.99 (and free to read with Kindle Unlimited).

I’m calling it a novella but it’s over 40,000 words (maybe 160 pages) so that counts as a novel for the Hugo and Nebula awards, for example… just saying. Anyway, check out the plot description below:
A massive explosion threatens humanity’s mission of first contact. The genetically engineered backup crew were each designed to know nothing more than their own duty. To make first contact, the crew of the UNOP Ascension must break free of their conditioning… and become truly human.
Max (Medical Assistant XIII) was designed, grown and conditioned for this mission and this mission alone. He is capable of performing complex medical tasks, administering drugs, running blood tests and even assisting in minor surgeries. But Max knows nothing more. Nothing about the mission, the ship, the other Artificial Persons on board or even himself. Only, there is something wrong with Max.
He is beginning to learn.
The first prequel in the Galactic Arena Series, Inhuman Contact explores the story of Mission Zero and humanity’s first encounter with Orb Station Zero. It examines the origins of the Artificial Persons Program and why there is pro- and anti-AP terrorism on Earth in the main series. It can be read before or after Book 1 Orb Station Zero, or as a stand-alone story.
