The Avalon Job
(novel) - Hollow Moon #4
Steph Bennion
 |
Coming sometime in 2020... Ravana O'Brien is confronted by her past in more ways than one. None particularly welcome. Secret agent Kedesh is back on the scene, seeking recruits for a mission to Alpha Centauri. Artorius, the young boy taken by the authorities after they saved him from the clutches of the Dhusarian Church, has been traced to a shadowy American base on the moon of Avalon. Another ancient alien portal has been found, a mysterious machine that can twist space-time. A rumour of hidden gold is sowing confusion. Avalon is no ordinary world, for the Avalon Broadcasting Corporation rules the roost. The moon hosts epic holovid events, not least the vicious celebrity show Gods of Avalon, a game based on the legends of King Arthur where players fight to survive against cyberclone beasts. Infiltrating the secret base means getting past the game arenas, but Ravana cannot trust the slippery Kedesh and has enemies old and new out to see her fail. The rejuvenated Priest Taranis, now with the might of the Federation at his disposal, is pulling the strings. He has a new chosen one, a man called The Raven who seeks Ravana's doom. Artorius is the key to those who want the alien portal open. Not all interested parties are human...
(To be published 2020; approx. 140,000 words. [details])

“On the other hand, Alpha Centauri is the one system where we haven’t made loads of enemies!” Ostara said brightly. “It’s a long way from Taranis and his Federation.”

Ebook stores and Digital Rights Management (DRM) - Ebooks distributed from Smashwords are DRM-free, which means that once you have purchased a title, you can download it as many times as you like (and in whatever format you like) and make back-up copies if necessary (for personal use only!). WyrdStar's preferred sales outlet is Smashwords, not least because the author gets a larger slice of the list price there than anywhere else! WyrdStar ebooks sold via third-party outlets (Amazon, Apple Books, etc.) will be subject to the vendor's terms and conditions. With 'cloud'-based systems, an ebook sale will be treated as a purchase of a licence to read, rather than the purchase of a digital file itself. |
