Kali Rises: Marauding Stars Book 1

by Wells Carroll

Overview

Ad astra per aspera....

Reaching the stars comes with a price, one Marcus Kenzie is willing to pay. Manipulative, possessed, driven... he's also not above letting others pay the cost for him.

Haley Brandt just wants out of the murderous slum world she's trapped in... and wonders how many bodies have to drop to escape her hell.

Keeping his promise to his dead wife means retired SEAL Jason Cobbler needs a reason to get up every morning... yet breaking his word is so tempting.

A seasoned combat reporter, Cara Abrams has seen true evil. Yet when Marcus Kenzie offers a personal interview, she senses it comes with a catch.

And at the California Artificial Life Initiative, an insane life form has broken free to the internet as Kali Rises.

About the Author

Wells Carroll is, of course, a pen name for a group of science fiction writers, retired military officers, and sci-fi geeks. Here at Stellar Nursery Media, we have a strong interest in space development and technology. Our science fiction writers discuss those topics with experts in the space industry so we can provide realistic current science and tech in our books.

"Marauding Stars" is an eight-book science fiction series about Real Space. We call it Real Space to show that our current space programs are just playing in the kiddie pool... Real Space is what's past the Earth-Moon orbit. The different books focus on what -- as a worldwide society -- terrifies us. Climate change, AI singularity, societal injustice, economic crashes and many, many more. While the overall story is fiction, the politics, science and technology in the books is real. As Wells Carroll, we simply took that tech and used it in our books. What is truly sad about the space tech we've researched... is that it's real, currently available, and not being utilized. Guess we could say the same about space exploration in general.

We can honestly say that Wells Carroll is a strong advocate for manned space exploration and development. It's been over fifty wasted years since we had a human on the moon. Current space agency plans are trying to make up for half a century of lost time.

We set the stage in "Kali Rises: Marauding Stars Book 1" to show how one man could open Real Space to humanity. It reflects our fears and offers solutions. Let us know your thoughts... about the story, its characters, and the too-realistic world we've created. Join Wells Carroll and let's see what can really be done with space.
