The Optical Lasso: Beware of Neptune's Dark Side

A Literary Titan Gold Award Winner. Five stars across Readers' Favorite, Chanticleer Reviews and Kirkus. Compared to the Foundation Series by Isaac Asimov.

The year is 2140 CE. Planet Vixus, the Ghost Planet, has reappeared on the edge of the Milky Way after vanishing without explanation in 2066. The only known planet that periodically reverses its rotation, Vixus holds an energy source of unknown origin that could turn the tide of a war Earth is losing. When the Galactic Corps' finest platoon is sent to investigate missing landing parties, their leader is captured.

Lieutenant Janet "Cat" Miles leads the Fighting Fury, an elite all women combat platoon of the Galactic Corps. She has never met a situation she could not fight her way out of. Until now.

Imprisoned alongside her is Supreme Commander Jason Cody, the most legendary figure in the Corps and a man who disappeared into a wormhole on Neptune's dark side years ago. He should not exist. He should not be this young. And Cat is not sure she can trust him.

He is not sure he can trust her either. How can anyone be that perfect?
What unfolds across a story spanning from 2002 to 2140 CE, over 140 years of history, is a relentless tale of transformation, survival and an ancient evil that has been waiting longer than anyone imagined. Lurking within the Ghost Planet are the Goth, apex predators unlike anything encountered in the known universe, bat like creatures whose accordion wings expand to twenty feet in under a second and whose hunger knows no mercy.

At the center of it all is a weapon unlike anything in the known universe. The Optical Lasso. A device capable of exceeding light speed, seeing into the past and the future, and changing the fate of every living thing it touches.
Nothing in the Infiniverse is what it seems.
