Sent to negotiate an alliance with the alien species known as the Occassi, the diplomats of the ES Votum awaken from their 135 year voyage to find a dead world and a silent universe. With 12,000 colonists still in hypersleep aboard their vessel, the team must embark on a new mission: to solve the mystery of the Occassi’s extinction and somehow make their world habitable again. As tenuous exploration quickly devolves into desperate survival, one man must achieve the impossible: to turn the husk of a dead world into the cradle for humanity’s future.")

The wait is over. Brody James and his partner Bullock return for the sequel to the Eric Hoffer Award for Independent Books nominee “The Boys Are Back in Town.”
Brody James and fellow officer Libby Evans were looking for Roger. Instead they found Tom Downing. Dead in a park.
Carson McCall was found shot in the alley behind the Booker Building. And Brody’s quirky neighbor was seen fleeing the scene.
“Will this be a long story?” I asked, knowing the answer already.
To Bullock, there is not a short story. His stories are rarely linear. They’re like an audio presentation of that kid’s path from school to home in the Family Circus comic strip.")

:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/135/135125/attachment_135125635 "Pandion intertwines three stories: an upmarket mystery involving a killer’s vengeance against a wealthy family that owns a large estate on the southern coast of Maine; a coming-of-age novel of the son, who lived on top of the world but is cast out on the street to crash in a Loisaida tenement; and a love story between the son and the girl he grew up with but always thought was his cousin. The three stories center on the family estate Pandion, which is named for pandion haliaetus, the western osprey, as well as for Attic tribe Pandionis in ancient Greece. The osprey is indigenous to Maine. The Greek connection carries through the mystery, as the villain leaves threats couched in Greek mythology.")

"Mr. Pardo did a great job helping me to realize my (somewhat vague) vision for this book, matching the style of book 1 perfectly, steering me away from a design idea that wouldn't have worked out well."
