Synopsis

An interstellar journey. But their new world is inhabited. Now, two reluctant leaders strive to save their people.

Trey Jackson languishes among settlers who fear to explore the planet they colonized. The old pilot is burdened by guilt from his lover's long-ago death.

Among the aliens, mystic Zahra sacrifices happiness to shield her childhood home from a chieftain's brutal raids. As her power fades, she delivers other clans to his vicious ambitions.

A bright teen's secret study of the planet's strange whales offers Jackson salvation... until one of the creatures leaves them marooned on the aliens' shore. When Jackson seeks Zahra's help, their mutual first-contact triggers a dangerous chain of events. Can a lonely old man become the hero they all need?

Cross faraway frontiers in Chronicle of an Alien World.

About the Author

Kate Rauner, Hanover, New Mexico, USA
A science fiction writer, poet, firefighter, and engineer on the way to becoming an eccentric old woman.

I write science fiction novels and science-inspired poetry, and serve as a volunteer firefighter. I'm also a retired environmental engineer and Cold War Warrior (honestly, that's what Congress called us) because I worked in America's nuclear weapons complex. Now living on the edge of the southwest's Gila National Forest with my husband, cats, llamas, and dog, I'm well on my way to achieving my life-goal of becoming an eccentric old woman.
