Synopsis

Welcome to the ‘Wild West’ of the Galaxy

Hundreds of years have passed since the Terrans learned they are not alone.

This is the new reality Terran Sam Jacobs wakes up into after hundreds of years of cryosleep.

Tharo, once human, now immortal and with intense and mysterious powers, acts as Sam’s guide through their telepathic bond. He is a man impressed by nothing except normal beings doing abnormal things.

The duo travel to Zanza, a barren world, once green and thriving, now drained of its resources under its blistering star. The planet is a microcosm of the upcoming resource war that threatens to ignite in all corners of the Zan Galaxy.

Sam and Tharo must enlist the help of freedom fighters to find an Arti. They discover the sentient robot has been captured by local authorities and forced to compete in wildly popular deathmatches in a grand arena.

The inhabitants are wary of the duo, as humans have long been seen as the architects of their current misery. Though initially suspicious, the ragtag multi-species crew band together for a heist of galactic proportions.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Benjamin Wuyts is a Belgian science fiction writer whose work blends space opera, serialised storytelling and a love of the nostalgia and pop culture of his upbringing. He currently writes and publishes Welcome & Goodbye, Earth, an ongoing science fiction serial that combines traditional storytelling with messages, reports, comics, blog entries, audio diaries and other in-universe media. Set in a galaxy struggling with overpopulation and a resource crisis, the series explores kinetic powers, immortality, aliens and a galactic civilisation over 800 million years old. Readers can follow the continuation of this story, along with other tales by Benjamin, on his Patreon. Born and raised in Ghent, Belgium, Benjamin grew up in a lively household with brothers and a sister. He now lives in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg with his wife and Luna, the family dog, who, in Benjamin's words, often treats him like the hired help with no apparent right to the bed, the couch or, well, anywhere else. Before becoming a writer, Benjamin trained as a baker and pastry chef. In what he considers a lifetime ago, he left that life behind in search of something that truly sparked his passion. That search led him, quite randomly, to scribbling on a bench one day with nothing but a pen and paper. His handwriting was so illegible that even months later he sometimes needed to squint to decipher it. From those humble, messy beginnings, the Welcome & Goodbye, Earth series was born.
