MY FRIEND MARTIN L. SHOEMAKER IS HAVING A KICKSTARTER FOR A BOOK HE REALLY WANTS TO WRITE:  Ulla: Martian Song Book 1.

Ulla: Martian Song Book 1 is the first in a line of novellas (short books: around 130 pages) telling a new historical science fiction saga that asks: the question…

What if H.G. Wells was wrong?

 

Once Eugene Hardy was a trailblazer, with a promising future studying law.

But the world outside his small town was cold and unforgiving. By 1907 he has returned home, teaching music at local schools and at his church. His life is quiet now, settled.

Then he encounters the circus train; and he meets the Martian…

The tragedy of London sweeps the world, threatening Martian refugees who never hurt anyone, but who cannot speak for themselves. Suddenly Eugene must stand for individual justice over collective guilt. Only this pacifist musician can protect the last free Martians.

From Martin L. Shoemaker, bestselling author of The Last Dance, The Last Campaign, and Today I Am Carey. Cover by Luca Oleastri.

This book is being produced via a Kickstarter campaign at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/martinlshoemaker/ulla-martian-song-book-1. Ends June 23.
