Description

From the Depths of Death in the Midst of Chaos is the second novel of the True Love Trilogy - a genre-crossing story line that could pass as much for action and romance as it does its noticeably pointed focus in modern science fiction. Continuing things within the SpaceStation Colt series, this second book takes a startling detour for the darkest concerning an interstellar conflict which spans not only the Epic Universe (2009 - ) but its defunct literary predecessor Zero Universe (1987 - 1994) forever linking the two together. Lieutenant Marileva Dike-Sims returns to sort through the events introduced in her own universe while navigating the events left unfinished from a universe she never even knew existed. This eBook is one of those rare literary works that is so self-aware it becomes a mastery in every sense of its allotted genres by deeply honoring the characters and lending much-deserved closure to the old while propelling the current into their own new, expansive light credibly. Something To Root For: The intrigue of pro- and antagonistic characters makes them both thoroughly enjoyable; the amount and level of social commentary is staggering; the fiction part of this sequel happens to be almost three times the size of its predecessor while the science part includes stepped up technology to match; and the eloquence of the prose is matched only by the complexity of the story.

From Edmund Alexander Sims

From the Depths of Death in the Midst of Chaos is my apology to the characters of the SpaceStation Colt Zero Universe which ended back in 1994 with a story by the same name. Everything I've written to this point in the now SpaceStation Colt Epic Universe has been not only an homage but a chance to set things right without having to reboot the previous series. These aforementioned characters deserved better than what I was capable of delivering for them sixteen years ago, and my only hope is that this effort makes them proud.
