Presenting: "The Backworlds" by M. Pax


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.

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

  2. I 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.

    1. Nope, Craze's father isn't too nice. But I'll let you read the book and find out.

      Where I live in Southern Oregon, we have mountains and trees and rain. Lots of rain!

      I hope to get up to the observatory some time in the future, since we are near each other.
