Review from IndieReader
![240_F_282280461_TGstFnrgEjDyiGfTxndBizvibaNrJrCd](https://akfrailey.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/240_F_282280461_TGstFnrgEjDyiGfTxndBizvibaNrJrCd.jpg)
Part murder mystery, part family drama, part science fiction epic, OLDEARTH MELCHIOR ENCOUNTER addresses themes of the line between good and evil and what makes a family…the overarching plot with the aliens ties everything together to make a cohesive, epic novel…The dialogue performs at its best when it is punchy and expressive, such as when Melchior faces his son Wilfred…”
Review from Reedsy/Discovery

“OldEarth Melchior integrates historical and science fiction in unique and intriguing ways…With its combination of genre and its swath of characters in both plots, OldEarth Melchior features many of the best aspects of both historical and science fiction.”
About the author
Hi,
I'm A. K. Frailey,
a published author of 17 books and novels. The majority are historical sci-fi where people of ancient times struggle to find meaning in a world dominated by evil choices. I've also published three science fiction novels, two short story collections, three inspirational non-fiction books, a children's book, and a poetry collection.
Movie director and producer Cary Solomon endorsed me with the summary, “Ann’s work ranks among the best.”
I’ve been writing for over a decade and offer Friday selections of original short stories, life reflections, poetry, and book excerpts. I homeschooled my 8 kids, and serve as an election judge, literacy tutor, and am the secretary/treasurer of my small town's cemetery.

The world ended on a Thursday.
Technology crashed, an alien race invaded, and my husband and children were in different locations. To survive, my heart dug deep into the homestead. Hardship tested my ingenuity while loss challenged everything I believed in, but despite every kind of sin and suffering, my homestead remained true. There's no place I'd rather be.

![the-road-goes-ever-on-second-edition1](https://akfrailey.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/the-road-goes-ever-on-second-edition1.jpg)
A series of inspirational reflections that continue my journey as a widow raising a large family in a turbulent world. As a sci-fi writer, I see extraordinary possibilities embedded in the fabric of the human race. We have been placed here on Earth for a reason. When I am uncertain or afraid, I learn what real courage looks like. When death strikes, I must choose—the hope of mysterious faith or the barren desert of disbelief. My careful or careless life says everything about who I am and what my time on this earth means—yesterday, today, and into tomorrow’s forever.

-Blue ink review
Author A.K. Frailey’s first installment of the OldEarth series, Aram Encounter, drops readers into a prehistoric time where clans of early hunter-gatherers, farmers, herders, and others clash and collaborate while being observed, unknowingly, by more technologically advanced galactic neighbors.
![bl-reviews-logo-small](https://akfrailey.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/bl-reviews-logo-small.png)
-Book life reviews
Tense encounters, crisp action, failures of leadership, and dramatic surprises power the story’s main thrust, which concerns the relationships between the ancient humans, both at the tribal and personal level. Frailey creates compelling characters in each of the human factions, especially Aram, who is haunted by loss, and bold Pele of the river clan. The stakes of their conflict are urgent, as the fate of human development hinges on them.”
