Alone, stripped of all connections to home, a space captain finds new hope among an ancient alien race—but someone is not happy he is there. Usually, captains go down with their ship but when his vessel explodes, Captain Yoni Arduus is on an escape pod with a handful of his crew. After a fatal encounter with inhabitants of an uncharted planet, the captain is the sole survivor and cast adrift far from Earth. He is forced to embrace a new society while grappling with its harsh stagnation. Within the hidden facets of this alien world, Yoni is haunted by a mysterious leader who secretly manipulates events. Under this shadow, the captain stumbles upon a dark secret that threatens everyone's survival. He knows he must escape the planet. But abandoning his new friends stirs up old guilt. As a chance to escape draws near, Yoni faces an ugly personal truth that defines his future and everyone he cares about. Immerse yourself in a unique alien world that is both otherworldly and strangely familiar—the third installment of ESCAPE FROM DESOLATION is a well-paced science fiction thriller that showcases the enduring quest for one man to find purpose amid a confusing landscape of alternative realities, and defines the essence of personal choice.

About The Author


Rob is a former food scientist, corporate lawyer and systems manager who had a passion for art and writing throughout his professional life. Writing was the best way to pass the time on long train commutes, where he penned a full-length novel. He became a stay-at-home Dad and his artwork intensified, leading to active participation in local art shows, where he exhibited his sculptures, featuring an abundance of penguins. Over time writing gained more ground. Escape From Desolation was inspired by a picture displayed in Omni Magazine in the 1980s. The image stuck in his head until it became Book One and Two. His daughter said the story could not end there, and there must be a Book Three. https://escapefromdesolation.com
