The Confrontation is Coming
In today's climate, you probably thought this was going to be a political post, didn't you? But it's not. Although I suppose in some ways it is. Because my newest book, The Romara Confrontation, is coming out April 24th. It's the story of two cultures colliding when one discovers the other.
Lieutenant Serenity “Siti” Kassis has trained her whole life for first contact missions, but nothing prepares her for this—arriving at a promising new world only to find it already inhabited by an advanced, spacefaring civilization. As acting commander, it’s her call whether to push forward or back away. One wrong move could spark a conflict neither side can afford.
On Lunesco, Quinn Templeton is expecting a quiet lunch with an old friend when the planetary defense system flags an unidentified ship in orbit. Since the revolution, she’s learned to negotiate, but first contact with an unknown species? That’s a whole new challenge.
Siti and Quinn could navigate mistrust, politics, and the weight of history to build something neither of their people expected—a future together. But they have to meet first. And something–or someone–is trying to keep them apart.
The Romara Confrontation is book 5 in the Colonial Explorer Corps, and follows Siti, Joss, and Derek Lee as they meet the heroes of the Krimson Empire. If you haven't read either series, I recommend you start with book 1 of the CEC series. If you're short on time, you can jump in at book 4, which I designed to be a second entry point into the series.
This book can be read without reading Krimson Empire first. (But I hope you'll read it, too!)
