Star-Eater Chronicles. Volume 1. The Edge of the Galaxy. Comprising the novellas; 1. A Galaxy Too Far... 2: The Stars Are Fire... 3. Spit in the Eyes of Fools... 4. Foundation's End... The year is 2452, Seth Gingko is one of a thousand MacCollie Survey-Scouts sent out to map the galaxy. As he finally reaches the very edge of his assigned spiral arm, he finishes his contract and prepares to take ownership of the ship he's been traveling in; Seth's payment for his five years of service. But destiny has other plans for Seth and his egotistical computer, 'Ship'. An alien invasion of his home galaxy interrupts Seth's plans for retirement, throwing the small Survey-Scout into uncharted space. Suddenly stranded in Barnard's galaxy, a million light years from home, Seth has to return to Earth with a warning of invasion. But first he has to get back to his own galaxy, and getting past the invasion armada is never going to be a straight-forward mission. Belt up for action. This novella takes Seth and Ship where no man wants to go! Comprising the first 4 novellas, this is the first in a new Science Fiction trilogy by Dennis E. Smirl & Ian Hall. Both are award winning writers. Their styles are sharp, witty, and full of energy.
