The Drifter wakes with nothing. No ship. No fortune. No memory of how they came to be.
Across Primora’s fractured stars, merchants, warriors and machine-minds inhabit the galaxy, each with their own designs on power, survival or control. Survival means striking fragile deals, carrying out dangerous work, and blindly trusting new companions. Whispers of the Singularity Engine - a weapon so powerful even the Architect fears its return - draw the Drifter into a dangerous game where every decision carries a cost.
In a galaxy built on shifting allegiances and hidden truths, the wrong choice could be their last.
An epic space opera of survival, mystery, and discovery inspired by the spirit of classic sci-fi's No Man’s Sky, Mass Effect, and Star Trek
"There
is something eternal about publishing a book," says Simon, who
is by trade a Learning & Development professional. Simon is a
family man who lives in Dorset, UK with his wife Sabrina and his
children, Jensen and Mina.
Simon
didn't discover his passion for reading until his thirties.
Cyberpunk, virtual reality and sci-fi genres are typically his
genre’s of choice.
This
novella is Simon’s third publication, and his first in traditional
space opera/sci-fi, taking inspiration from personal favourites and
cult classic video games and TV shows such as No Man’s Sky, Mass
Effect, Star Trek and Firefly.

my imagination. I hope you enjoy and lose yourself in the worlds I
