About this ebook

Humanity has rebuilt on the world of Velsharn, forging the colony of Eden from the ashes of Earth. On Velsharn's verdant soil children are born, alliances are made and for a time, peace reigns. In high orbit, the debris of an entire Toralii fleet stands as mute testament to humanity's sovereignty; their right to this planet is unquestioned.

Above the TFR Beijing, now the centrepiece in a flourishing city, the inky void of space is eerily silent. As Commander Melissa Liao recovers from her ordeals, the universe continues its roiling machinations unhindered by her suffering.

The end is coming, but before the final chapter in the Lacuna series begins, the stage must be set and the players must be in their places. So much work is left unfinished and Melissa Liao has more trials to endure before her pain is over.

Before the end of war and steel, Eternity awaits.

Lacuna is a very fast paced and keeps readers engaged for most of the story. In fact one of the aspects of the book/series that I liked was how there was very little down time, and the plot progress rather rapidly. Sadly this aspect does hinder the series somewhat, by leaving some plot "gaps." These "gaps" have honestly left me wondering about many of the finer details that are simply left in the darkness in the book. I wish the writer described characters, weapons, ships, and battles in greater detail.

A saga humana continua!... A série Lacuna é, na minha opinião, um dos melhores livros de Ficção Científica que, entre centenas de livros que já li. Aconselho-o vivamente a todos os amantes deste tipo de leitura e até a outros onde uma realidade plausível ou não, seja preenchida por um grande e quase constante suspense.

Is a really good book series, but this guy needs an editor. I know he's not a construct (props to those who get it) or anything, but at least since preliminary peer review would be nice. It would be best if he got himself a publisher.

About the author

I've always been thinking of stories for as long as I've been alive. I have way, way, way too many to tell and far too little time to tell them.

It was only in 2011 that I actually started shaping and weaving those random, jumbling, chaotic masses of thoughts into coherent narratives and began self-publishing.

I write a little science fiction, a little fantasy, a little humour and comedy, and a few other things all over the place.
