The start of an exciting series."e; —Tom Sweterlitsch, author of The Gone World and Tomorrow and TomorrowTerik Donato has lost his place in the universe. Casting aside a promising career, years spent in fleeting pursuit of truth has left him with nothing. But an ill-timed visit to the Sacramento, a space vessel well past her prime, could change everything for the former Mako-6 agent.

Soon the surviving crew members of the Sacramento find themselves halfway across the galaxy, stranded on a planet where humans are not as alien as the crew would think.  Their stay may be brief, as a brutal species seeks to enslave all in its path and kill all that resist. Terik Donato and Garett Soness will find themselves tested in the face of death, forced to become either the men they were meant to be, or the monsters they always feared they were.Survival takes its toll in this first volume of The Dawn Cluster.

"e;A universe of unique planets, aliens, robots and political intrigue slowly forms in an almost poetic way..."e; - Reedsy DiscoveryThe ten-episode Kindle Vella series collected here for the first time! Ciras, an advanced race of artificial humanoids, populate the distant world of Dialectica, working in unison to propel their society forward. Their prosperity is due to a set of edicts that drive every action, and because of these rules, there is no violence, there is no poverty, and there is no doubt in their leadership. But when an important Cira stumbles into an emergency ward on the brink of core failure, one Cira will have to make a rash decision, a choice that puts him on a path to uncover the one thing the perfect Cira society doesn't already have: the truth. This collection also includes eight other short works, several long out-of-print and a few never before seen, all set in the literary universes of The Dawn Cluster and The Shirker!
