Orbem Novis – Balle F. Algiers 


 

Three centuries after the Orbem Novis colonists told off-Earth financiers who backed their voyage to stay away from their new home on a distant planet or face death, the Farside Corporation receives an unusual request. Two top-drawer agents are hired to locate the last descendants on Earth of the colonists’ leader and bring them to Orbem Novis. The mission, however, keeps changing as the agents travel 50 light-years to a new world teeming with strange life forms. When civil war breaks out among the colonists, the agents learn they are pawns not of the Farside Corporation but a more powerful force – an artificial intelligence that links their universe to another and the long lost mining ship Anaconda.

Biography: I am a retired newspaper editor, marine engineer and historian. After writing thousands of published newspaper articles and various nonfiction historical works, I decided on retirement to have some fun and write what I always wanted back as a kid -- science fiction. This beats the normal retirement hobbies of gardening, reloading, scrimshaw, quilting, watercolors, pottery and meddling in the neighbor's business. I am currently working on book 11 of my alternative history sci-fi series and in between published a zombie apocalypse novel on a dare to myself.
