Project Xerxes

by Ryan Southwick

Overview

Emra had always believed that the Galileo Space Force and the Marines didn't mix. That was until Nizsm body flipped someone onto her tea.

Emra Telawani has worked her entire military career toward a single goal: commanding her own starship. Everything appears on track until a miscreant Marine punches her commanding officer in the gut, sending her on a mad chase across the city of Nova Veritas to avenge a man she doesn't really like.

The Marine proves elusive, however, forcing her to break a few rules that land her in trouble with the very person she broke them for. Emra soon finds herself facing a Court Martial that could destroy her hard-earned career. In a cruel twist of fate, her best hope of redemption may lie with Nizsm, the miscreant Marine with ambitions of his own, who may be far too charming for her own good.

Project Xerxes is an optional prequel to the Lost Colonies science fantasy series that explores the rich culture of Galileo: Britta's homeworld, and the birthplace of the Lost Colonies Alliance.

About the Author

Ryan Southwick decided to dabble at writing later in life, and quickly became obsessed with the craft. He currently lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife and two three children.

His technical skills as a software developer, healthcare experience, and lifelong fascination for science fiction became the ingredients for his first series, The Z-Tech Chronicles, which combines these elements into a fantastic contemporary tale of super-science, fantasy, and adventure, based in his Bay Area stomping grounds. He has since published other science fiction works, including the Timeless Keeper Saga, Lost Colonies, and One Man's Trash.
