Newest review from IndieReader “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.”

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.
