Product Description THE REAL STRANGERS ARE WITHIN."Kevin Tumlinson has this ability to make us believe in his characters. In addition to the understated precision of his style, the thing that distinguishes Kevin's fiction is his ability with plot. He is a natural storyteller." - DR. JAMES ULMER, AUTHOR OF THE SECRET LIFE" A MIND DIVIDED. A HOLLOW VICTORY. A NEW SPECIES. Against all odds, on an unchartered world, the souls of First Colony have been restored to life, and a centuries old wrong has been righted-sort of. On the planets surface, a young woman struggles to reclaim her mind from the strange aftereffects of the cancellation wave. High above, the struggling colonys last hope of going home slowly falls from orbit, and two men face death to prevent it. And as the human colonists and their Esool captain struggle for survival, a new species emerges that can be the colony's savior-or its most dangerous enemy. As if it needed more. BOOK TWO OF THREE About the Author Kevin Tumlinson was born in Wild Peach, Texas, during the early 70s. Which means he had practically nothing to do for the first 18 years of his life. That meant he was free from outside stimulus, which gave him a creative edge. He spent his days roaming the back woods and open pastures and abandoned junk piles of Wild Peach, getting into a lot of trouble and building a rich inner world that comes in real handy today. Kevin is the author of dozens of novels and novellas, including his popular Citadel science fiction trilogy and his ongoing Sawyer Jackson contemporary fantasy series. Kevin was the winner of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Voice of Democracy award, as well as a two-time winner of the Danny Lee Lawrence Award for Fiction. In addition to writing and publishing, Kevin is the host of the Wordslinger Podcast (wordslingerpodcast.com)--a weekly interview-format show in which Kevin talks to some of the most interesting and upwardly mobile entrepreneurs around. Kevin makes a regular habit of coaching and helping other authors, entrepreneurs and would-be authors improve their craft, build or grow their business, and generally just make their lives better through writing. Kevin lives with his wife, Kara, in the Greater Houston area, but has a grand master plan to chuck it all and live as an RV nomad, exploring the world, chasing his travel muse, and creating stories from the grist he finds out there.
