The enormity of what the man was suggesting grew in Jas’ mind. She’d felt like her job was done. Together, she, Lingiari and Lee had defeated the aliens in their attempt to take over the ship.
But now someone had to coordinate the survival effort, lead the crew, and keep them safe from the aliens that still threatened them. While they waited for rescue, someone had to maintain morale. Could she do it?
She regarded the first mate. One thing was for sure—she couldn’t trust this man.
“Take him to the brig.”
As Haggardy was led away, Jas lay down. She was exhausted. Tomorrow, she would think about what to do next, but for now, she would sleep.
Thanks for reading!

About the Book
I hope you enjoyed reading Generation, the first book in my Shadows of the Void series.
Readers often ask me where I get my ideas from, and I always find that a difficult question to answer. I like to imagine how humans and human societies will adapt to changes caused by increasingly speedy technological development, and what I believe will be our ultimate test—deep space travel. Many of my ideas come from these musings.
I was interested in several themes as I was writing Generation, such as how gene therapies will impact society when they’re affordable to the moderately rich, the seduction and effects of serious drug addiction, how upbringing shapes personality and destiny, how extreme danger brings out the best and the worst in us, and that moment when you realize someone isn’t who you thought they were. Maybe you noticed these ideas as you were reading, and maybe you didn’t. Maybe you saw something else. If you saw something different from what I intended, or you just had fun, it’s all good!
Shadows of the Void is a ten-book science fiction serial, and Generation is like a TV space opera pilot episode. It’s the longest of all the books, and it introduces the main characters. The rest of the books in the serial are shorter, and they trace the paths of more characters aboard the Galathea and on the planets they visit. We also find out what the Shadows are, and we follow the characters’ efforts to defeat them, along with their own inner shadows.
If you find a typo or mistake, I’d love to hear about it, or anything else you’d like to tell me about my books. My email address is on my website (scroll to the very bottom of the page).
About the Author
It isn’t easy to look back over a lifetime and pick out the bits that others might find interesting. I was born in a humble home in London’s East End—a caul birth—more than half a century ago, but I’m now both British and Australian. I picked up Aussie citizenship after living in Melbourne for many years and working as an Australian Volunteer Abroad. My AVA stint led to some time in Laos before returning to the UK and spending fifteen years or so teaching English to immigrants. Most important to me in all my experiences are my three gorgeous, amazing sons, who graced me with their appearances along the way.
I now live in Taiwan, where the weather suits my clothes, and I spend my days writing about the voices in my head.
