by C.S. Friedman

This Alien Shore is an enthralling journey through a universe where genetic mutations empower individuals to traverse the stars. Set in the second stage of human colonization, this action-packed space opera invites fans of Frank Herbert and Samuel R. Delaney to explore a world where the original superluminal drive caused permanent genetic damage to Earth's far-flung colonists.

Jamisia, sheltered all her life in a corporate satellite in Earth's outer orbit, must face the truth about her origins amidst a power struggle between the Guerans, who dominate intergalactic transportation, and the rest of Earth's genetically mutated colonies trying to break the Guera Guild's monopoly.

When her satellite is attacked by corporate raiders, Jamisia embarks on a daring escape aboard a ship bound for the Up-and-Out. However, her narrow escape does not guarantee safety. Pursued across the galaxy by ruthless, unknown adversaries, Jamisia must uncover a secret buried deep within her psyche—a revelation that the universe may not be ready to face.
