DELPHINE DESCENDS After her family is killed and her homeworld occupied, young Kathreen Martin is sent to the distant world of Furoris for re-education. She will live the rest of her life as a serf – to be bought and sold as a commodity of the Imperial Network. When her only chance of escape is ruined, a chance mistaken identity offers her a new life as the orphaned daughter of a First-Citizen Senator and heiress to a vast fortune. She vows to claw her way into power to sit among the worlds’ elite. Then, with her own hands, she will reap bloody vengeance on them all. But to beat them, she must play their game. And she must play it better than them all. BLACK MILK Prometheus has the chance to bring his wife back from the dead, but doing so will mean the destruction of Earth. Spanning time, planets and dimensions, Black Milk draws to a climactic point in a post-apocalyptic future, where humanity, stranded with no planet to call home, fights to survive against a post-human digital entity that pursues them through the depths of space. Five lives separated by aeons are inextricably linked by Prometheus’s actions: Ystil.3 is an AI unit sent back in time from the distant future to investigate Prometheus’s discovery... The mysterious Lydia has devoted her life to finding a planet that the last remaining humans can call home… Tom Jones (he’s a HUGE fan!) is an AI trapped inside a digital subspace, lost and desperate to find his way back to his beloved in real-time… Dr Norma Stanwyck is a neuroscientist from 24th Century Earth whose personal choices ripple throughout time... Prometheus must learn the necessity of death or the entire universe will be swallowed by his grief. ____________________________________________________________________ GOODREADS You can stalk me on Goodreads to see what I'm currently reading. https://bit.ly/3rrcByD ____________________________________________________________________ IMAGE USE The images in my videos are mostly licensed stock photos.
