Chaos Chronicles (Moore)

The sci-fi thriller Come Dance a Cumbia…with Stars in your Hand! completes "The Chaos Chronicles Trilogy," a vision of the future that is troubling, inspiring, and astounding. Survivors of the Chaos, the first book in the series, starts in dystopia and ends with hope for a new future on a planet in the 82 Eridani system. In Sing a Samba Galactica, the second book, humans find friendly ETs there and battle unfriendly ones on another colony and Earth, but if you thought they and their ET friends would live happily in the Galaxy's near-Earth space after the Singer saved the Swarm, you were wrong.This novel shows why we always have to be vigilant against those whose thirst for power becomes an obsession. The protagonists-the tough, brilliant, and beautiful Silvia Kensington, the old warrior Brent Mueller, bent but not broken, and others-serve as Steve Moore's Second Foundation; the villain-Dimitri Negrini, an evil genius-his Mule. They become forged in fire by the events portrayed in the first two novels and their struggles in this one. Action, suspense, and intrigue are found in this star-hopping modern sci-fi saga that combines elements of space opera with new perspectives on today's problems. If you're reading this, thank you. Not many people find me...or recognize me as an author of many genre fiction novels. Maybe it's because my name is too common-I thought once about using a pen name...and probably should have. Maybe it's because I don't get many reviews. (It's not hard to write one once you've read one of my books: just say what you like and dislike in a few lines, and why.) I know you have many good books and good authors to choose from, so I'm honored and humbled that you are considering or have read some of mine.You're here on Smashwords because you love to read. Me too. Okay, maybe you're here to give someone the gift of an entertaining book-that's fine too. I love to tell stories, so either way, you'll be purchasing some exciting fiction, each book unique and full of action and interesting characters, scenes, and themes. Some are national, others international, and some are mixed; some are in the mystery/suspense/thriller category, others sci-fi, and some are mixed-genre. There are new ones and there are evergreen ones, books that are as fresh and current as the day I wrote them. (You should always peruse an author's entire oeuvre. I find many interesting books to read that way.)I started telling stories at an early age, making my own comic books before I started school and writing my first novel the summer I turned thirteen-little of those early efforts remain (did I hear a collective sigh of relief?). I collected what-ifs and plots, character descriptions, possible settings, and snippets of dialogue for years while living in Colombia and different parts of the U.S. (I was born in California and eventually settled on the East Coast after that sojourn in South America). I also saw a bit of the world and experienced other cultures at scientific events and conferences and with travel in general, always mindful of what should be important to every fiction writer-the human condition. Fiction can't come alive-not even sci-fi-without people (they might be ET people in the case of sci-fi, of course).I started publishing what I'd written in 2006-short stories, novellas, and novels-we'd become empty-nesters and I was still in my old day-job at the time. Now I'm a full-time writer. My wife and I moved from Boston to the NYC area a while back, so both cities can be found in some novels, along with many others in the U.S. and abroad.You can find more information about me at my website: https://stevenmmoore.com.

Steve Moore goes epic in this new sci-fi thriller that continues where his Survivors of the Chaos ends. Covering centuries of humanity's future in the Galaxy, the events of this novel take readers on a star-hopping ride from the discovery of ETs on the 82 Eridani colony planet New Haven; to battles against the evil Tali on the Delta Pavonis colony planet Sanctuary and Earth; to the development of FTL travel; and to the healing of the Swarm, a giant, composite intelligence in the form of a globular cluster. Steve's imaginative extrapolations of current science and technology are second only to his human and ET characters, space scenes, and careful plotting. If you're reading this, thank you.
