Today we’re excited to host a cover reveal, or cover re-reveal, for The Re-Emergence by Alan K. Dell, as this is a brand new cover in honour of its fifth anniversary. I read and enjoyed this sci-fi novella as part of the 2nd SFINCS finals.
What’s it all about? Let’s find out:
’IT WAS JUST A MYTH. JUST A DAMN LEGEND PASSED DOWN FROM CORRUPTED DATABANKS…’
A mysterious probe from a long-forgotten satellite network appears in the heart of the Maldaccian Empire, warning about the return of a mythological evil.
After being downloaded by the plucky but inexperienced crew of the imperial flagship, the consciousness of the ancient satellite, Unit-17, embarks on a galactic adventure to bring the empire back from the brink of an interstellar war they are not equipped to fight.
The Qesh’kal’s aging commander, Da’kora Corasar, trusts Unit-17’s intel implicitly, but not everyone aboard agrees. Tensions rise and loyalties are tested as they are thrust into conflict with an enemy of unimaginable power and malice.
A finalist in the first annual Speculative Fiction Indie Novella Championship (SFINCS)!
