The planet of Seledania is about to get an uninvited guest. How will the inhabitants cope with the discovery? How can one human affect the small society?

Rain and wind blasted his back and the side of the object. He had never seen anything like it before but, peering through the transparent coverings, he quickly realized the object must be some sort of traveling device. He once created something similar out of a hollowed log. He had latched the log to a large paleethrad but the animal was unpredictable and the log, unstable. He remembered fondly the taste of the paleethrad. At least the beast was good for something. His log traveler would have taken a rider around their territory... where could the rider of this contraption have traveled from?

Bodram examined the device further; coming to a break in the smooth, white cover, he pawed at the seam until the door lifted open. He jumped back and held a stick out, prepared to defend their lives against whatever being lay in wait. What could be inside? He needed to ensure his daughter’s safety, but was he bringing her into a more threatening situation? How will this affect Dimlyn?

“The author’s ability to imagine new worlds, and old worlds revisited, is remarkable in that you feel as if you are right there with his characters. Think... sci-fi-fantasy-space travel... where alien befriends human - and you are in for a fictional treat. It should be on the big screen!” ~ Linda J. Pedley, Author / Publisher
