Alien Quest: Throne

By: Eckroad, Steven

"Masterfully blends hard science fiction with metaphysical wonder."

A far distant, Eden-like world that few humans know about. Even fewer know its secrets...

Angelus is home to two sapient species and a mushroom-like fruit that prevents aging. The astute, friendly Wombies (aka Ch'tel) resemble bipedal koalas and are telepathic. The not-so-friendly dain rule Angelus with a mysterious prescience. When humans discovered their world the dain looked out into the future and foresaw that disaster loomed on every path forward. Except possibly one path in which a living symbiosis could blossom between the dain and humans. The dain set about finding a pair of human symbionts to begin the process. Otherwise far more than Angelus would be lost.

Ciar n Rhys, Captain of the interstellar trade-ship Northern Star and Triya Noeh, his First Officer and sometimes lover, are youthful traders who have found in each other a common goal: the search for a mystery world that has been in their dreams and visions from childhood. In time, a lucrative contract to ship equipment to Angelus sparks their interest and they take it on, not realizing that the move will forever change their lives.

Powerful entities, both human and supernatural, will do all in their power to prevent Ciar n and Triya from securing their destiny. If the two adventurers are to save the planet, they must forge a genuine human love between them that dares to let each other blaze their own trail. A trail that for all they know might end all that they have known of each other. A trail that not even the dain know for sure where it will lead.
