The Institute wants control and someone wants her dead.
Kylla Torrance just wants freedom for her people — a place where genetically engineered Augments can escape the Shan Takhu Institute’s grip. But she knows the truth of the Institute’s dark agenda. And that makes her dangerous.
When someone on her ship sells her out to pirates, Kylla must disappear, or risk losing it all. Her only hope lies in a desperate plan. With a defiant officer at her side and a telepathic slave hunter in pursuit, they must scatter into the dark before the Institute erases them for good.
With everything hanging in the balance, her next move could end them all.
Fast-paced, emotionally charged, and utterly riveting, this standalone Wings of Earth novel bridges two epic series and is Sci-Fi adventure at its sharpest. Grab it now and strap in for an explosive ride.
Scatter the Winds takes space opera in a new direction with a hard-SF core. Eric M. Craig delivers a story that keeps you turning the pages and staying up past your bedtime to read "just one more chapter". If you are a fan of the gritty realism of The Expanse, or the rough-and-tumble grit and humor of Firefly, then I highly recommend you pick up Scatter the Winds. —Geoff Habiger, Readers' Favorite
Eric is known as a writer of harder-edge Science Fiction novels with believable characters, action-packed plots, and a solid science foundation that provides the backdrop for the story. He lives in the beautiful high country of New Mexico's Manzano Mountains (where the winter weather has occasionally been said to resemble the outback of Mars). Before becoming a writer, he was Director of Research for a private consulting laboratory in Phoenix where, among other things, he experimented with inertial propulsion and power generation technologies.
When not writing, Eric plays guitar and bass and occasionally dabbles in art of various forms.
He also owns way too many dogs… and, as a result, is often seen fighting heroically against mountains of dog-hair.
