Synopsis:
Light From A Distant Star Lt. Commander Macintosh "Mac" Crowe, late of the shuttle Atlantis, is having a grand, though unplanned and unexplained adventure. Shipwrecked on a planet that man never dreamed existed, surrounded by sword wielding two-thumbed alien clansmen who think he's their legendary and long-awaited savior, and blood thirsty enemies who want him dead. He's had better days. Niloc; clansman, thinker and warrior, is in a quandary. How can he protect Mac from the screaming horde of his enemies, teach him the ways of the clans, and convince him he really is the long-awaited fulfillment of prophesy? A tall task when all the human wants is to avoid contact with anyone but Niloc. Five humans, one orphaned clansman, and an alien cat that can read your mind. All doing their best to survive in a kill or be killed world. The humans searching for ancient technology and a possible way home, the clansman seeking a better way of life for his people, and a cat that's just along for the ride. Cultures collide as they battle their way across a beautiful and pristine new world. One bathed in the light from a distant star.
Light From A Distant Star
"-infuses elements of action/adventure, epic fantasy, and traditional planetary romance a la Edgar Rice Burroughs."
-David Corwell, author of Legacy of the Quedana
Zahir
"...a great, quick read I could well imagine being made into a movie. This novella was packed full of never-ending suspense and horror. The imagery was wonderful and the story just plain good."
- Candace Morehouse, author of Golden Enchantment
