Forerunner
On ancient port world planet Kuxortal, young Simsa grows up among garbage pickers who live upon the ancient ruins of a fallen galactic civilization–the Forerunners. But Simsa has always been different. Her skin is iridescent blue-black and she shares a telepathic bond with an alien pet, a bat like zorsal. When Simsa’s mentor dies, she must scrape a poor existence from an unyielding planet. But then Thom, a star ranger, arrives from the heavens, and he leads Simsa on a path to the discovery of her origins that takes both through danger to the ultimate revelation. The truth may lie below in the ancient high tech Forerunner ruins where Simsa was first discovered as a infant, but these cavernous mazes are far from quiet and dead–and what Simsa discovers there will change her life, and perhaps galactic civilization itself, forever.
Forerunner: The Second Venture
Simsa has escaped the criminal guilds of Kuxortal only to find herself held prisoner by starfaring humans intent on discovering the secrets of the Forerunners contained within her. With the aid of her pet zorsal, Simsa escapes her captors and crash lands on a sandy world full of danger and mystery–another world touched by ancient Forerunner civilization. Now Simsa must escape death at alien hands while battling the spirit within her that seeks to possess her very being and transform her into something utterly inhuman. But though the ancient Forerunners may have been technologically advanced beyond comprehension, they have never reckoned with the courage and gritty determination of one young woman determined to keep her freedom and write her own destiny among the stars.

Terms of sale
We are thrilled that you have considered buying from us. The book that we sell you will be complete, and exactly what you would anticipate from its price.
**As we have recently greatly increased our offerings on Abe, you will find some incomplete cards. Please use the price as the clearest indicator of the quality and state of the book. **
We are as much at the mercies of global pandemic, climate crises, and other supply chain issues, so please do be patient with us.
Shipping terms
Our rates are based on the cost of the shipping, predominantly through the Canadian Postal Service. The estimate is based on the book you order being part of the majority of our stock, which are standard commercial hardcovers. In the case that a book weighs less than the estimated amount, we will reduce the price of shipping once we have an accurate amount. Conversely, should a book cost more, you may hear from us about an increase in shipping cost. This is rare, but mostly has to do with oversized books. If you ever have any questions, do please contact us.
The book you receive will arrive in re-used packaging from publishers, and will not include insurance. If you wish to add insurance please contact us.
