forgotten isles
Sarizha, a perpetual loner with total disregard for self-preservation, is the perfect candidate for testing the latest push forward in interstellar travel. Instant teleportation. If it works, this could upend the universe as everyone knows it.
After signing a Liability Waiver, and waving goodbye to the excited crowd, Sarizha is ready to depart. It’s simple. Just a trip in the Voyage Finder, from the Central Core to Pinnacle Outpost on the edge of the galaxy. It would take two years in the fastest hyperspace lane. This expedition? Should only take a few minutes.
Except when she emerges, she’s not on Pinnacle Outpost, her ship and its teleportation device are ruined, and she’s also stranded in a jungle the computer doesn’t recognize. The worst part is, she may never want to leave.
This charming adventure mixes a low-stakes travelogue with cozy science fiction.
