Publisher Description
Part I of the completed BEACON SAGA SERIAL.
At the end of time, a miracle endangers a vast refugee fleet.
They call it the Shroud, and Beacon is the only star that survived its wrath. At this endpoint of existence, humanity lingers on alongside every living species. Layers of orbiting ships can provide you everything—except children. So when Mally and Tersias conceive, they are instant celebrities, lavished with accolades and gifts. But their act will carry a high cost, starting with the return of a specter from the past. And the end will become the beginning.
An installment of six thousand words. Continue the serial in Part II (twelve thousand words), or in The Complete Beacon Saga, available now.
*Note to readers: A serial is a story in parts, each usually of long short-story length. Each installment is not a complete book, but can be thought of like an episode in a television series.
Customer Reviews
A great read
I don't usually read short stories. They annoy me. Just when the story is getting good, they end. This one suffers from that problem, with one exception: there's a sequel.
As for the story itself, it's quite enjoyable. There's a bit of mystery (okay, mysteries) and the development is well paced. It left me wanting to know more.
