A couple of years ago, my dear friend Jimmie Badgett challenged me to write a murder mystery set in space. Not be a regular reader of the mystery genre, it proved to be quite a challenge but Death Haunts the Stars was born. I've always felt there are more stories to write in that universe so I set out to write a sequel that was more science fiction or even space opera in nature. The result is Last Stand. Together, these books comprise the first stories of the Camadin Station series. And there ARE more stories to be told in this universe and we haven't heard the last of James and Charlotte Rivers, McLelland Bradley, and Jarrod Caulder.
In the early 23rd Century,
Humanity is spreading out to the stars. Colonies have been started on many new
worlds. The Terran Colonial Vessel Conestoga
is one of many star vessels carrying hundreds of colonists to their new homes.
But the Conestoga's latest voyage to the colony world Camadin is different!
First, a number of dangerous incidents occur involving some of the crew of the
ship. Then dozens of disruptive teenage passengers endanger the ship. When a
passenger dies, questions arise about the cause.
Captain James Rivers,
Security Chief Mac Bradley, and the crew of the Conestoga face a seemingly endless series of threats aboard a ship that
is light years from Earth. It appears someone aboard the Conestoga is trying to sabotage their mission! But who could it be?
And what is their motive?
As the danger increases, can
Rivers, Bradley, and the crew stop Death from claiming the lives of everyone
aboard the Conestoga?
By the middle of the 22nd Century, Humankind had
begun to move out into deep space. Dozens of worlds in distant star systems
were colonized and the Terran Federation was expanding along one arm of the
Milky Way Galaxy. When a scout vessel happened upon a refugee fleet, the Terrans
learn of an ancient race, the Azairi, who are conquering star system after star
system…and the systems of the Terran Federation are next!
Camadin Station, commanded by Commodore James Rivers, is one
of the Federation’s farthest outposts. This outpost becomes the last, best hope
for the survival of Humankind. Rivers sends Captain Mac Bradley, Commander
Jarrod Caulder, and a small crew to find the lost homeword of the Proge. Their
mission? To find the Proge homeworld and scavenge whatever technologies they find
in the hopes of stopping the Azairi!
But time is short and the trail to the Proge homeworld is
fraught with danger!
Both books are available
