Tidbit: Gannah
I've been editing all week. Not my writing, though. A buddy of mine. That is one of the best perks of being an author. I get the privilege of reading some fantastic stories before they go public. Currently I'm spit shining yet another book in the Gateway to Gannah series.
Here's my review from the first book: Story in the Stars. . .
Mix together a deadly plague with a snarky hero--one sporting abnormally large ears. Then throw in an independent heroine who's lost everything, and you've got a blue-ribbon recipe for a winning debut novel. The Story in the Stars is sci-fi at it's best with plenty of action, unbelievable landscapes, and a message that is hard hitting.
And here's the back cover copy . . .
The inhabitants of the planet Gannah are known as bloodthirsty savages who once tried to conquer the galaxy. Now a plague has ravaged the planet and only one survivor remains, a young woman named Dassa. Pik, the doctor from the League of Planets assigned to her case, hates everything Gannahan and wishes every last one of its people had died. Bereft of everything she's ever known, Dassa clings to her God and the story he has written in the stars. He has given her an assignment: to return to Gannah and replenish it with a new race of people. But she must first overcome the prejudice of the entire galaxy and recruit her de facto enemy, Pik, to help her.
It's a great story. So is the second book, and now the third one is out. . .
