Duatero

By (author): Brad C. Anderson

A searing far-future science fiction adventure about a lost human colony struggling to survive on an alien planet–no matter what the cost.

Majstro Falchilo Kredo has devoted his life to protecting the abandoned earth colony of Duatero from Malamiko the indigenous ecosystem that makes their crops fail and whose contamination turns humans into mindless monsters.

But Malimiko is changing becoming more dangerous more aware even as the ancient technology they use to combat it fails piece by precious piece. Kredo and his fellow soldiers must risk everything or see all they hold precious wiped away and forgotten.

Kredo is prepared to sacrifice himself–and anyone around him–to do his duty. But what if the price demanded is even higher?

AUTHOR

Brad C. Anderson

BRAD C. ANDERSON lives with his wife and puppy in Vancouver, Canada. He teaches undergraduate business courses at a local university and researches organizational wisdom in blithe defiance of the fact most people do not think you can put those two words in the same sentence without irony. Previously, he worked in the biotech sector, where he made drugs for a living (legally!).

His stories have appeared in a variety of publications. His short story “Naïve Gods” was longlisted for a 2017 Sunburst Award for Excellence in Canadian Literature of the Fantastic. It was published in the anthology Lazarus Risen, which was itself nominated for an Aurora Award.
