- PORT
NOWHERE - I believe things happen for a
reason. That must be why I decided to visit a writer's
conference at a hometown library last year. It was hosted by
another writer/science fiction editor from my area. Within three
weeks, I met the rest of the science fiction anthology writers
for Port Nowhere: Tales From the Edge of the Galaxy. In only
four months, and a hundred hours of collaboration, we produced
the book!
A deadly planetoid on the very edge of the galaxy,
inhabited by the dregs of
a hundred species that swarm in its endless tunnels; that's Port
Nowhere, a.k.a. the Rock. Join the Rock & Rolling residents as they
deal with danger, hunger, murder, disease and Sha'zreen! Meet Rudof
Dyll, scion of the richest family in the galaxy, exiled to the Rock
for crimes unknown; Malik Blayne, tortured, relentless, and
determined to save his friends, if he can figure out who they are;
Tau the Silent, a Human boy reared by aliens, now orphaned by the
loss of his tribe; Charlie Manus, Protectaire's best envirosuit
salesman, who wonders
what
the feek he's doing on the Rock; and Sha'zreen Glowberreez, Port
Nowhere's most famous vidstar; who'd do simply anything for better
ratings; Doctre VanSlyke, for whom the Rock is an endless supply of
spare body parts; Mik'Amr, a local who finds working for the Connies
less than ideal; Jesse Iresson, a dealer in questionable
merchandise, searching for truth, but he'd settle for a way off the
Rock; Raeyn Banks, on the run from a past that haunts her, to a
future that's looking ever darker. Come visit Port Nowhere,the
planetoid to avoid! |
