Fire from the sky, dystopia, true love... some things never change.
An orphan is caught up in a war between reptilians and all other mutant species, and must embark on a quest to find a home at last or die trying.
Suddenly freed from slavery, Syx falls in love with his rescuer who is forced to leave him. He becomes a commando and uncovers the truth of his betrayal as the world is destroyed in a holocaust. He has another narrow escape, but against all odds will he find his lost love again?
Lightning Seeds is book one of the first trilogy in The Stars Hereafter Chronicles, a legend of courage, love, romance, mysticism and enlightenment as the dark past of a reluctant hero enables power but leads to increasingly dangerous crossroads on Eorthe and beyond.
Interview with the author:
Q: What makes The Stars Hereafter Chronicles series special?
A: It's not just one thing. I wanted to create something exactly like the kind of books I like. As soon as I learnt to read, science fiction and fantasy sparked my imagination, especially in a series, and if it had lots of action and adventure by a reluctant hero who's basically a romantic, so much the better. Because the characters are genetically engineered mutants based on a range of animals mixed with an ancient hominid, their respective species represent a broad spectrum of human qualities without being anthropomorphized animals. The world they inhabit is post-apocalyptic, a dystopia, but there's room for optimism because their life force is strong. Add elements of fringe science, artificial intelligence, androids, time travel and a space opera spanning galaxies and aeons, things get really interesting.
The Stars Hereafter Chronicles focus on the science fiction and fantasy genres overall, with a major element being the relationship between the main characters and how they grow to love each other against all odds.
Overall, the series is designed to keep you turning the pages, never a dull moment.
Q: What order should I read the books in?
A: You can read the books in any order because each makes brief references to the overall story, but I suggest this sequence:
- Lightning Seeds
- Bones of Silver, Bones of Iron
- Mistress of the Knell
- Eye of Stone
- The Naked Eye
- The Mirror Universe
- Seeds of Time
- Dark Triumph
- Drakenor
Q: Why should readers give these books a try?
A: Because The Stars Hereafter Chronicles is a wild ride through a strange land in a parallel universe, anyone who enjoys their imagination stimulated in a way that makes them see the world differently will find themselves absorbed. That's what science fiction has done for me - to see human beings from enough distance to appreciate the wonder and mystery of our existence.
