The Backworlds is here!
The first story in the Backworlds series by M. Pax. A vision
of how humanity might colonize the galaxy some day in the distant future.
The Backworlds
After the war with
Earth, bioengineered humans scatter across the Backworlds. Competition is
fierce and pickings are scant. Scant enough that Craze’s father decides to
hoard his fortune by destroying his son. Cut off from family and friends, with
little money, and even less knowledge of the worlds beyond his own, Craze heads
into an uncertain future. Boarding the transport to Elstwhere, he vows to make
his father regret this day.
The Backworlds is an ebook and a free read. All formats can
be found at Smashwords and Feedbooks.

M. Pax’s inspiration comes from the wilds of Oregon,
especially the high desert where she shares her home with two cats and a
husband unit. Creative sparks also come from Pine Mountain Observatory where
she spend her summers working as a star guide. She writes mostly science
fiction and fantasy, but confesses to an obsession with Jane Austen. She blogs
at her website, www.mpaxauthor.com and
at Wistful Nebuae. You’ll find
links there to connect on Twitter, Goodread, FB and other sites.
The sequel, Stopover at the Backworlds’ Edge,
will be released in July 2012. It will be available in all ebook formats and
paperback.
I've just finished reading M. Pax's book "The Backworlds" and it was an exciting read! It was a page-turner that left me wanting the next book in the series. Since there is a look at "Stopover at the Backworlds' Edge" in the back of the book, I am eager to read the entire second book now. Great stories! ~ Karen
Very cool! My next post is for this too.
ReplyDeleteYes... it's a great book! I'm looking forward to the next one.
DeleteI didn't know Oregon had wilds or high deserts. But he must be a terrible father to name his son "Craze". Not even Gwyneth Paltrow is that cruel.
ReplyDeleteNope, Craze's father isn't too nice. But I'll let you read the book and find out.
DeleteWhere I live in Southern Oregon, we have mountains and trees and rain. Lots of rain!
Thanks, Karen. :)
ReplyDeleteM. Pax: Always happy to help out. I'm just a ripple in the pond.
DeleteNice feature, Karen, and wishing the author much success on the new release!
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen, she has a unique style all her own. It's a great read!
DeleteMary is just an awesome author!!! And would love to join her some time and see the stars from the observatory.
ReplyDeleteAlex: Yes, her imagination is out there in the universe with her characters.
DeleteI hope to get up to the observatory some time in the future, since we are near each other.
Thanks for the review. This is the second time I've seen this book being reviewed today. I'll have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteJessica: I think you'll find that you won't be disappointed. I'd love to tell you about it, but that would just spoil it for you. Enjoy the reading!
