Synopsis

ASTRA SOLARA is Earth’s current ‘Mission Queen’; she has accepted – and survived – more high-risk commissions from Earth’s governing corporations than any other commander. But when Astra returns from the mysterious Amazon Seven – a mission she was not expected to survive – she and her now-estranged crew are targeted for assassination… Now Astra has no choice but to accept one final, desperate commission… transporting a deadly cargo that terrifies even her; the last remnant of a vicious and parasitic alien race that almost destroyed humanity, to the one place where it can forever be annihilated… …back to Amazon Seven. Fleeing for her life, and desperate to depart Earth one last time, Astra knows that her new benefactors could be just as untrustworthy as he last – the sinister, omnipresent mega-corporations who will go to any lengths to stop her… …even if it means unleashing the deadliest force the human race has ever faced – to finally learn just what it will take… TO KILL THE MISSION QUEEN

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

About the Author Alex James is a writer who lives in Adelaide, South Australia. He was born there on October 15th, 1967, and has lived there ever since. Alex studied European History, Classical Mythology, Film Studies and Screenwriting under the Communications and Liberal Studies banners at the South Australian College of Advanced Education (now the University of South Australia) but kept dropping out and going back and never finished anything (at least not to his knowledge). He then dabbled with being an advertising copywriter, was apparently quite good at it, but did not enjoy it. He read Tarot for a while, wrote thousands of trivia questions for Imagination Games, and was a 'film culture' columnist and reviewer (paid) for the print version of the Adelaide Independent Weekly, before the internet made everyone a critic (unpaid). Between 1992 and 2005 he wrote many, many, many outlines, treatments, concept documents, bibles, pilots and screenplays, for just about every active Australian production company there was. During that time, a few of these things even almost came close to nearly being made. A confirmed telly addict who was binge-watching series on videotape decades before it was even a thing, Alex is also a life-long film buff, who has lost count of how many billions of films, and zillions of episodes of television he has seen. Alex saw Star Wars at age ten, arguably the perfect age, which led him immediately to Doctor Who, after which he never looked back. Growing up on BBC series from the 70s and 80s, he was honoured in 2002 to be one of several to have a go at the long-touted revival of Blake's 7. These remain, when all is said and done, his favourite things, alongside The Alan Parsons Project, The Waterboys and All About Eve. Alex is also a comedy aficionado, whose comedy heroes are too numerous to mention here, but will no doubt one day find their way into a dedication. In his spare time, Alex still reads and watches. His influences as an author include Douglas Adams, Julian May, Clive Barker, Philip Jose Farmer, Elmore Leonard, and more recently Dan Simmons. He listens to audio books, comedy podcasts, woo-woo radio shows, while drinking coffee, and walking his dog Romana, sometimes all at once. At the time of writing, he has not had a drink for five years, or a cigarette for three. He thinks he might be getting hooked on ice cream though. Most recently he was an in-house writer for Angel-Phoenix, who published his first two novels, 'The Pandora Sequence' and 'Venus A.I.', which were well-promoted at the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con and apparently did quite well. Alex's most recent work has been published independently through Kindle Direct, Smashwords and IngramSpark.
