Conglommora

📖 The Scoop

The Green Earth of old was long gone.

The People had printed their family ships from the reclaimed ruins and fled the devastation to find another planet, a new home. But system after system, planet after planet, they discovered that there were no other suitable homes in the cosmos. At least, not within a few generations of exploration at sub-light speeds. The People would have pressed further out into the void, but seas of unknown exotic energy interfered with the electromag drives and destroyed anything with sufficient mass trying to pass. So they stopped their wandering, and joined their ships together here at the edge of Nothing to form the Conglommora. Where the horse died, as it were.

But against the endless black of deep space, a single, tiny, glowing dot is headed straight for them. Charlie Neylan and his neighbors anxiously watch and wait to discover who--or what--is coming. Inexorably, Charlie is pulled from the comfort of the only house and home he, his family, and his parents before him had ever known to explore the strange and exotic corners of the Conglommora.

Suddenly thrust into a world of adventure, Charlie has to confront his own demons as this mysterious stranger plummets them into a startling journey across the galaxy to confront the past and threaten the future.
