So grab your copy today and get ready to be transported to a future where humanity is pushed to its limits. Book 5: Six years after establishing a colony on Zarmina's World, the settlers of Sagan Base have built a thriving community.
Children have been born, crops planted, and homes constructed on this alien planet 22 light years from Earth. While still mourning those lost to the ESH virus on Earth and the sabotage aboard the Calypso, the colonists have created a promising future.
But their world is not what it seems.
When Nathan Zradce-the man who nearly destroyed their mission-mysteriously returns after years in the wilderness, he brings a terrifying revelation: Zarmina's World is already occupied. Two enormous fungal intelligences, Entity and Offspring, have existed for eons, conducting their own planetary experiments. Entity has tolerated the humans' presence, but Offspring has already eradicated a second colony on the far side of the planet.
As Daniel Medry risks his life to communicate with Entity, he discovers a horrifying truth: When the solar winds shift, Entity will leave the planet to Offspring-who views humans as an infestation to be eliminated.
With thousands of lives at stake and Earth still devastated by the asteroid impact, the colonists face an impossible choice. Can they negotiate with intelligences beyond human comprehension? Or must they abandon their new home and return to a ruined Earth? Book 6: G581: Plague Tales II is the second gripping anthology of science fiction stories set in Christine Shuck's Gliese 581g universe. In the near future, devastated by a relentless virus and a planet-killing asteroid on a collision course with Earth, humanity teeters on the edge of extinction. Within these pages, you'll encounter scientists racing against time to find a cure, families torn apart by illness, and survivors facing impossible odds as they attempt to rebuild from the ashes. Each of the dozen short stories offers a unique lens into a fractured world, where resilience, love, and loss define the human experience.
