The Backworlds is here!
The first story in the Backworlds series by M. Pax. A vision of how humanity might colonize the galaxy some day in the distant future.
The Backworlds
After the war with Earth, bioengineered humans scatter across the Backworlds. Competition is fierce and pickings are scant. Scant enough that Craze’s father decides to hoard his fortune by destroying his son. Cut off from family and friends, with little money, and even less knowledge of the worlds beyond his own, Craze heads into an uncertain future. Boarding the transport to Elstwhere, he vows to make his father regret this day.

M. Pax’s inspiration comes from the wilds of Oregon, especially the high desert where she shares her home with two cats and a husband unit. Creative sparks also come from Pine Mountain Observatory where she spend her summers working as a star guide.

Her husband unit???? So that's what women think if us.

Sounds like an awesome read, M. Pax. I agree with Lee, two books in a year is amazing, but another released in the fall? Wow, super amazing.
Nice book review, Lee.
Oh, and I love Mary's bio! "Husband unit!" LOL!

I'm attempting to get out four this year, Lee. The first in a new series will be out in the fall. Not sure I can pull off its sequel this year, but I'm sure going to try.
I get to go see the big telescope this weekend, Leslie. Yay. Missed it.
