Overview
Worlds a Plenty
Success breeds success, or so Admiral Tracy Jackson recalled the Earthers saying. His fleet took control of two Elite worlds, Da-fer and Jot-ma, the first of ten Elite worlds. However, Admiral Jackson recognized that his thought about success was merely a saying, and they weren’t always true. Volunteers from other races descended on the Elite worlds by the hundreds of thousands. Many were drawn to help the hamlet subs by the conclave’s generosity.
They left difficult home world circumstances to earn conclave credits with personal services provided free. The flow of volunteers was courtesy of Admiral Mila Pappas and the Storyteller’s team, especially that of the defenders. Their tasks weren’t easy. The mercenary races with their deadly fleets created dangerous encounters. The home worlds of the mercenary races depended on the bounty that their military forces provided the citizens.
When Admiral Pappas and the first wave ended those supply lines, the home worlds were put in great jeopardy. As for the other denizen in this area of space, the Messinants, the protectors vigilantly seek them out. The passage to find the Messinants is deliberately obtuse. The paranoid race fears one of their genetic uplifts will come for them.tem. Unfortunately, as brilliant engineers and scientists as the Messinants are, they failed to take into account the possibility of SADEs.
Miranda, Z, and their companions are relentless in pursuit of the Messinant leaders and their home worlds.
Readers
What readers say about the Cercians series.
Reader quote goes here. Two or three sentences is the right length: long enough to say something specific about the books, short enough to read at a glance while the column is moving.
Fourth placeholder. Star count is set per card, so a four-star quote renders correctly if you want a mix.
Seventh placeholder. Aim for four cards per column so nothing repeats inside one pass on a tall screen.
Tenth placeholder. A line about finishing the series or waiting on the next one is worth more than a rating.
Second placeholder quote. Replace these cards with permission-cleared quotes, or with short attributed excerpts that link back to the original review.
Fifth placeholder. Editorial blurbs from other authors work here too, and those Scott owns outright.
Eighth placeholder. Mixing short and long quotes gives the columns an uneven rhythm, which looks less manufactured.
Eleventh placeholder. Audiobook listeners are a distinct group here, given 42 of 44 titles are narrated.
Third placeholder. Quotes longer than roughly eight lines are clamped, so keep them tight or the ending gets cut mid-sentence.
Sixth placeholder. The three columns run at different speeds, which is what stops the wall reading as one moving block.
Ninth placeholder. Name the book in some of the quotes. It does more work than a generic compliment.
Twelfth placeholder. Keep the attribution honest: display name and where it came from, nothing invented.
Placeholder quotes. Swap in permission-cleared reader quotes or short attributed excerpts before launch.
