Interstellar Fleet

Setia Zees fled Earth to escape the clutches of a tyrannical master, becoming one of humanity’s first deep space colonists. Her destination, Talman Prime, should be a pristine planet, never inhabited by intelligent life. That’s how it looks at first, but then Setia stumbles across what seem to be the remains of an ancient civilization.

As Carys Ellis travels to Polaris she isn’t too concerned about what might happen. Whatever the future holds it can’t be worse than her past. And if it weren’t for her birds she wouldn’t even be aboard the Bres, flagship of the Interstellar Fleet. But there’s more to the Steadfast Star than expected. The true nature of the beings inhabiting the strange system is revealed, and the lives of all her shipmates come under threat.

When the Bres, flagship of the Interstellar Fleet, arrives at a new world, Matty Sheldrake believes he’s set up for life. Redeemed from dishonourable discharge for disobeying orders, he’s back in the captain’s good books. His new role is to take part in the diplomatic delegation as an unofficial military presence. The new planet offers tantalising possibilities. Most life forms, including the dominant, intelligent species, live beneath the blanket of ice enveloping the globe. But all bets are off when the locals mistake Matty for a god.
