Welcome to the new frontier.

A colony ship was always a one-way ticket. When sisters Cathalina and Ashling convinced their families to invest in the rights to a mineral-rich world, they knew it would be the end of them. Hard work, low air quality, and the bottomless greed of the corporation backing them would indenture them for generations, and that was enough to make anyone stir crazy. But what if it didn’t have to be that way?

When a strange signal from an uncharted star system catches their eye, the sisters launch their survey vessel one last time. It’s an exciting final adventure, and the risk is real. Finding a world far from the trade routes means danger from pirates, claim jumpers, and the expedition’s corporate sponsors, but it could also mean that instead of setting up an outpost, they could be founding a dynasty.

Written by Jennifer Brozek, the multi-award-winning author of books in the Battletech, Predator, and Shadowrun universes (among many others), Truumeel’s Light is a FiveFold Universe frontier story about love, family, and sacrifice in the far future of humanity, where everything is possible for those who dare.

From the Publisher

tears of perseus
colonization in the farthest reaches of the universe

The Fall of the Federation is here

Six stories told by six veteran sci-fi authors, the Tears of Perseus series is a saga of rebellion from a colony's founding day to the final shots of the war. Each story is connected to the others and moves the doomsday clock forward, but the situation is far from hopeless. It's up to a dozen characters over the course of 300 years to chart a path to survival. This is a story of good people in bad situations, and of perseverance at all costs.

Full of high-stakes decisions, high-tech military action, interstellar intrigue, and large scale battles, experience the conflict that almost ended it all.

In humanity's darkest hour, establish your legacy, stand your ground, free your people, protect your homeworld, and hold fast against an implacable foe.

The Second Interstellar War of the FiveFold Universe is about to begin.

    Yes, I have a lot of books, and if this is your first visit to my amazon author page, it can be a little overwhelming. If you are new to my work, let me recommend a few titles as good places to start. My major new fantasy trilogy (all finished!) consists of SPINE OF THE DRAGON, VENGEWAR and GODS AND DRAGONS. My newest Dune novel with Brian Herbert is THE HEIR OF CALADAN, end of a new trilogy. I also love my Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. series—newest one is DOUBLE-BOOKED— humorous horror/mysteries, which begin with DEATH WARMED OVER. My steampunk fantasy adventures, CLOCKWORK ANGELS, CLOCKWORK LIVES, and CLOCKWORK DESTINY, written with Neil Peart, legendary drummer from Rush, are some of my very favorite novels ever. And my magnum opus, the science fiction epic The Saga of Seven Suns, begins with HIDDEN EMPIRE. After you've tried those, I hope you'll check out some of my other series.

    I have written more than 175 books, including 59 national or international bestsellers. I have over 24 million books in print worldwide in thirty languages. I've been nominated for the Nebula Award, Hugo Award, Bram Stoker Award, Shamus Award, and Silver Falchion Award, and I've won the SFX Readers' Choice Award, Golden Duck Award, Scribe Award, and New York Times Notable Book; in 2012 at San Diego Comic Con I received the Faust Grand Master Award for Lifetime Achievement.

    I have written numerous bestselling and critically acclaimed novels in the Dune universe with Brian Herbert, as well as Star Wars and X-Files novels. In my original work, I am best known for my Saga of Seven Suns series, the Terra Incognita trilogy, the Dan Shamble, Zombie PI series, and Clockwork Angels and Clockwork Lives with Neil Peart. Along with my wife Rebecca Moesta, I am also the publisher of WordFire Press. Find out more about me at wordfire.com, where you can sign up for my newsletter and get some free fiction.

    FOR RIGHTS INQUIRIES (Film/TV/Gaming/Foreign/Literary) please contact me directly at info (at) wordfire (dot) com, and I will put you in touch with my appropriate representative.

4.0 out of 5 stars Slow to start because he builds the characters and storyline in detail
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2023

Okay, I've read a lot of science fiction and most of it for the last 15 years has been military SF. I almost didn't complete this book because of the time being spent on what seems to be petty details. I decided since I had paid for it, I would finish it. Really glad I did. There was good reason he spent so much time on the details and it becomes really meaningful in the rest of the books. Everyone's stories come together in different ways but always in ways that matter. The whole series is worth the time.

5.0 out of 5 stars A search for home and a promising start

I'll admit this started a bit slow, but then I don't think this was meant to be an action packed story. Instead I felt very connected to the main characters and enjoyed Brozek's insight into the mind of new planet colonisers (they're not there because they like to follow rules). The story came together beautifully. And then there was a wonderful teaser at the end from Anderson that made me very excited for more.
Bring on the next!

Colony ship discovers a better destination than planned! Ship is diverted to a paradise world! No good deed survives without tragedy. Is the damadge due to low budget contractors? Did the corporation not really want a successfull colony?
Then the universe gets a vote too. Two major deaths upon arrival to Truumeel. Major family dissagreements to damadge landfall! Too be continued......🤯🥳

4.0 out of 5 stars A short read that's part of a bigger story

Content ratings: Language - PG-13; Violence - PG; Other - PG-13

The storyline was somewhat interesting, although I was left with a few loose ends. Based on the teaser to presumably the next book in the series in the epilog, I'm not sure whether answers will be forthcoming or not. I also felt the characters were a little flat. None of this lessens my interest in reading the rest of the series, but they are things I assume some potential readers would want to know.

A take on the generation ship concept. Book is short. As your would expect from Anderson easy reading. Thought ending abrupt. Was thinking this was a good build up to a climax but the climax never happens
