They went to the stars in search of Earth-like planets. They found life. They had the perfect First Contact. They were even planning the first extra-solar colony. But do they really understand the world they came to conquer?
Don’t forget to leave a review for Phoenix, it’s a great way to help an indie author.
Two worlds are about to collide. And what seems to be strangely familiar may not be familiar at all.
Peter Jeffries is no action hero. He’s just a regular guy, to the extent astronauts can be considered regular guys. A hyperspace expert who accidentally joined the landing team, recommended by an obscure academic qualification.
Phoenix is free today on Amazon.
Liz Hamilton is a firebrand, a starry-eyed idealist. She’s prepared to make friends and fight for them tooth and claw, damn the consequences.
Beyond her unassuming looks, Ellandra Sen’Dorien is the ultimate powerhouse. She has guarded the Haillar Dominion since the dawn of time.
Together, two humans and an alien queen must turn the tables against an ancient, implacable foe. And in doing so, they will all end up reinventing themselves.
About the author of Phoenix, T.S. Alexander:
I was born a few years after man’s first landing on the Moon and I always believed more is to follow. After 45 years, I still believe it. The Haillar world is dedicated to all those who never ceased to dream that space exploration is possible, that mankind can find new homes among the stars …
For more than 35 years I’ve read Sci-Fi and Fantasy, two or three books per week. At least five thousand books at a rough count. I’ve read each possible genre. Some were good books, some were brilliant books. Eventually, I decided to give it a try, to start writing myself and hopefully, my books will bring joy to other fiction fans, the way worlds imagined by others enchanted my life.
PHOENIX is a debut novel, It is part of the planned QUEEN’S AVATAR a trilogy introducing the Haillar Universe, a world of mystery and tradition, of honour and sacrifice.
I want you to discover the Haillar worlds step by step, together with Endeavour’s human crew. PHOENIX is the First Contact part of the story, introducing the main character and the Haillar Universe. The historical background and Haillar society will continue to be substantiated in its two sequels.
Starting from the first book, Phoenix, I tried to create a complex and rich alien society, with its own customs and rituals, sometimes familiar, sometimes alien and puzzling. Every chapter in the first and second volumes we learn something new about the Haillar, be it through their own eyes or from human perspective.
The same applies to the main characters, be they alien or human. Though built in detail from the first pages, none of the main protagonists is fully defined. Every episode readers, and indeed the characters themselves, discover new aspects of their personality.
It is hard for me to stick a subcategory label on the QUEEN’S AVATAR: Space Opera, Fantasy, Romance, Military SciFi. It has elements of each of them, as the action unfolds at various levels. Phoenix is not a Hard SciFi either, though I was always tried to maintain the plot and scientific premises credible within the norms of the genre.
I hope you will love this series and follow it to the very end. I intend to post periodically updates in a video form, as 2-5 min clips both on YouTube and on Amazon. I believe them to be easier to follow than lengthy narratives posts.
