Colony Launch

Ixora Colony, Book 1

By: Jon Del Arroz

Narrated by: Zak Jordan

Humanity is at war...

...many citizens want no part of it.

Governor Antony Lemkin has done the unthinkable as a politician--voluntarily stepping down from his post in protest of Earth's escalating war with the Aryshans.

With war drums beating and the machinery of government going full force, there's little he can do to but voice his dissent, until mega-industrialist Fabio DePino presents him with a plan: build a new Earth, far away from humanity's conflicts.

But will Earth's government simply let colonists leave their control?

Fans of Babylon 5 and Robert Heinlein's classic The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress will love this new space colonization adventure by #1 Bestselling author Jon Del Arroz!

Fun Science Fiction

A dab of Game of Thrones, a dash of the Battlestar Galactica remake, a dip of Warhammer 40k, and a damn good time. The best flavors of the above series are mixed into a ripping good plot that ends in a satisfying conclusion. At the end I was reaching for a bag of dice to start rolling.

The weakest part of the story is the opening. Four point of view characters are introduced in rapid succession. But if you can make it to the second chapters for each character the plot gets its hooks in you and doesn't let go.

5/5. Fun science fiction!
