Under Strange Suns

The inventor of the Faster-Than-Light Drive is missing, lost undertaking the first interstellar voyage. A terrorist attack leaves the Earth in a state of constant war. Amidst the global decline mankind begins emigrating to the stars.



Special Forces soldier Aidan Carson is tired of fighting and his term of enlistment is ending. Brooklynn Vance, the niece of the FTL-drive’s inventor, thinks she knows where her uncle might be. Her offer to join the search gives Carson a chance at a fresh start; the starship Yuscehnkov offers a new home.



Space travel is uncertain. Mechanical systems fail. People are unreliable. But war is a constant. Carson learns there is nothing new Under Strange Suns. And so he finds he must once again take up the sword, this time in defense of an alien race. Can he secure a lasting peace this time?



"Ken Lizzi's new novel [Under Strange Suns] blasts off in an action-packed flight to worlds far away, in a cross between John Carter and Star Trek, with just a dab of Starship Trooper tossed in. And it's swords and guns and aliens, oh, my ... What's not to like?"
