Prodigal Sun

"Prodigal Sun" Quantum Series: Book 5

Action! Adventure! Skinheads!

Deanna, a weird little Terran colony out on the (some would say lunatic) fringe, that was perhaps best known for playing ping-pong with one of its own moons, suddenly found itself hip-deep in strange events.

Well... okay, stranger than usual. And by quite a margin.

There'd been a sudden, puzzling increase in crime recently - and not just any old crime, but a type of crime unseen in living memory: Hate crime.

The planet was a melting-pot of species and cultures, and always had been - but lately, something had changed in Deannan society, and looking back, Peg realized it had been going on for quite a while. Gradually, the flavor of the place had soured, like someone had left it out of the fridge with the lid off.

And where had all these angry young men with shaven heads suddenly come from?

In Atro City, Peg did her best to balance not having an actual life of her own with her daily duties as Head Sheriff of the colony. Only days away from a highly anticipated, high profile royal visit to Deanna, she was being stretched increasingly thin by daily, frenetic security meetings at the Governor's office.

And yet, as public anticipation of Prince Justin's visit mounted, so too did the tally of outlandish and increasingly violent incidents continue to rack up. Little did Peg realize these incidents were just a symptom of something much worse!

A sinster, festering hatred had put down roots in Deanna - and very soon now, the quirky residents of the remote, usually idyllic world would face a challenge unlike any they'd seen before.
