About this ebook
Yaneth is a dying planet. Its inhabitants, the Marak, have sent their best and brightest scientists, navigators, and spies to investigate a potential new home: Earth. Something goes terribly wrong resulting in life-or-death conflict for both species. Vector is a story about betrayal, loyalty, and the struggle for survival, all told through the eyes of one Kusa awaiting his death sentence. The adventure moves at breakneck speed, and will leave you wanting much more. Vector is the first story in “The Extraterrestrial Anthology, Volume I: Temblar.” The anthology contains ten short stories to make you think and tremble.
