“We are pleased to announce the forthcoming release of “AFTERMATH” - the second book in the BELTRUNNER saga. It is a riveting journey set in the backdrop of the vast, unforgiving expanse of space, where the protagonist, Collier South, faces the ultimate test of resilience and determination.” – Brian Hades, EDGE
AFTERMATH
(Book Two in the BELTRUNNER Saga)
by Sean O’Brien
Science Fiction (novel)
In a universe where hope dims like a dying star, one man's loss becomes his ultimate quest for redemption.
Asteroid belt miner Collier South has hit the nadir of existence. Once a beacon of idealism in the cold, unforgiving expanse of space, he's lost everything: the love of his life, an alien artifact that had promised great change, and his irreplaceable companion, Sancho, the sentient ship’s computer. In the aftermath of tragedy, Collier finds himself at a crossroads—haunted by the specters of his past and the vast, uncharted territories of space that call to him once more.
The discovery that nothing is ever truly lost reignites Collier's resolve. Armed with the recovered alien artifact, a beacon of untold power, he sets out to reclaim his ship, his friend, and his purpose. With the aid of unexpected allies and an unbreakable bond with Sancho, Collier embarks on a journey that will take him to the edges of known space and beyond.
In a race against time and destiny, can Collier South mend the fabric of space itself, or will his final gambit unleash forces that could shatter the fragile peace of the cosmos?
