‘Saving
Paludis’ by Clayton Graham
Over one hundred and
forty light years from Earth, Paludis sits in the Pisces constellation, on the
frontier of human exploration. It is verdant and beautiful – a world to be
treasured. It has also been scarred by wars of colonization.
In the year AD 3989,
human invaders control the planet and have done so for hundreds of years. Paludis is the planet's Earth
name; the indigenous population, reptilian in nature, call their home Musk.
The Muskans are now restricted
to a remote peninsula in the north-east of the main continent. The humans have
taught the aliens their language and some of their ways, but the Muskans prefer
the traditions of their ancestors. Or do
they?
So what can go wrong? Well, quite a lot actually.
Mankind maintains a tentative footprint on this world, surviving on the
proceeds of bauxite mining, with most living a hand-to-mouth existence. But
when scientists from Paludis share a technological breakthrough with the Earth
authorities, peace swiftly escalates to conflict.
Stefan Lattanzis never expected Paludis to become a battlefield, nor Earth
for that matter. To try and save his home world, Stefan
must team with two strangers, a botanist, Clare Cavanna, and mysterious seer
Serpentine. As embattled factions vie for control of the universe, the trio
must trust in each other to keep the new technology from ripping time and space
apart.
‘Saving Paludis’ is not just an interstellar war
novel. It reflects human nature in all its extremes: hate, jealousy, control,
love and sacrifice. And what about the aliens – do they share these traits? In
some ways yes, in others no. They are, after all, alien. But retribution is
high on their agenda; an overwhelming desire to regain their planet. Quite how
they attempt to do that must remain a secret!
If you like futuristic technology,
alien political intrigue, and high-octane, paranormal action, then you’ll love
this electrifying interstellar adventure!
I invite you to enter
deep space, use the Einstein-Rosen bridges, and touch down on Paludis. Join
Stefan and his friends to help save their world. You’ll love it!
