'A Featured Sci-Fi Hidden Gem' "The most dangerous of all falsehoods is a slightly distorted truth." ― Georg Christoph Lichtenberg Cover by @CaroDelMonte

LOGLINE: When a man finds his love making the journey to supply a base on Saturn's moon Enceladus, he must face a threat that could destroy all humanity in the future. Hope can be deadly... After World War III, the planet Earth was destroyed. Of him only the memories of his survivors. Humankind, or whatever remains, lives on Mars in precarious conditions, expecting it to find a place in space to build a new home. Until on Enceladus, one of the moons of Saturn, humans find appropriate conditions for this, including water, for relief of all. But something hides in the depths of this unexplored place. Something ancient, hungry, that when discovering the taste of human blood will not stop, until devouring all the inhabitants of the place. How to fight with what you do not know? Chaiene Santos, writer of the series #TheChildrenOfTime, decides to innovate once again, honoring classic films like Alien, the Eighth Passenger and The Secret of the Abyss. Are you ready to dive into your most hidden fears?

Max Niekro, the undead juggernaut that brought the Risen into space to war against Earth's enemies, is gone. Left behind are the tattered remnants of the once-mighty force that defeated the Velkin and brought the Vanguard of the Blood to its knees, staring across the Abyss at two old foes that have raised their heads to focus their malevolence on Earth once more. Can Max's neo-shell clone, Two take up the reins that his progenitor carried and lead the Risen once more to victory? Or will two universes burn as a mad god and a K'ethik swarm try to consume the universe whole?

"This book speaks to anyone with a neurodivergent brain, that may feel like an alien here on earth. I swear Browning made me laugh and cry and question reality...sometimes all in the same sentence." -JD Todd, author The universe is a very strange place. It will take even stranger heroes to save it. Potto is dim-witted, extremely forgetful and incredibly naïve. He wasn't always this way. Aye-Aye is devilishly shrewd and has boozed his way into a comfortable existence of incompetence and sleaze. How they ended up being two of the most wanted aliens in the galaxy is anyone's guess. Chased down by every oddball bounty hunter in the known universe, and befriended by a libidinous assassin, a fire-breathing reptilian, and a telepathic tree, their misadventures take them past Earth (the mall planet), to a floating sex circus, a planet of killer stuffed animals, an underground spaceship impound lot, and to a planet of reasonably priced bungalows. All while flying around in a ship powered by the brain waves of a psycho killer. A great prophecy proclaims that only "one of light, and one of dark" can save the universe from the dictatorship of The Node. That can't be Potto and Aye...Potto doesn't know what the word prophecy means, and neither know how to spell it. Part sci-fi epic, part absurd dark comedy, I Don't Seem So Bright in a Well-Lit Room is a comment on human behavior, depression, anxiety, and self-esteem. But way more fun than that sounds. So, do up your space seatbelts...it's going to be a bumpy ride. Despite the lack of potholes in space. (Sci-fi /Dark Humour/Absurd) *Completed! Enjoy!
