Now Uploading the Prequel Volume: Delights of Eden

David Harlow, one of the Space Corps' youngest and least experienced officers, has always been the black sheep of senior command. That's why, when the office of Chief Commander has an unexpected vacancy, he's more surprised than anyone to find out he's been nominated. However, he knows this promotion wasn't offered in good faith. Beneath the glittery façade of this leadership position is a churning underbelly of political strife that could turn deadly at any moment, set against the backdrop of a brutal war that's been tearing the Corps apart for nearly a decade.

Harlow knows he's been selected in order to do the bidding of the warmongers who put him there, and to take the fall when the consequences of their greed and incompetence inevitably come due. But he only sees one way to secure peace – by accepting their offer.

Further Info:

Delights of Eden is the standalone prequel to The Europa Station Chronicles, a near-future sci-fi epic featuring all the suspense and intrigue of Tom Clancy's cold war-era political thrillers, but with a contemporary, space-based reimagining.

This dual-timeline narrative follows the story of General Harlow during the war and includes flashbacks to his time as a cadet, with the past providing further context to the action taking place in the present. The early years feature a queer coming-of-age story set in a world held at the mercy of mega-corporations and billionaires, which contrasts sharply against the tale of a young officer navigating a hostile command environment rife with nepotism and corruption.

Please be aware of the content warnings. While this story doesn't feature any graphic depictions of violence, it has occasional profanity, realistic portrayals of war and soldiers (no battlefield scenes), depictions of homophobia, exploration of an unjust legal system, prison, and discussions of assault and suicide (characters talking about events that occurred off-page).
