Jen Air: The Little Queen


Jen Air: The Little Queen, avaibable for Kindle from Amazon.com and other Amazon stores.  It’s $5, or free if you have Kindle Unlimited.  You can also get in paperback, but it costs more and I actually get less royalty from it, so don’t do that.

If you’re looking for a fun sci-fi fantasy action and adventure story in the vein of classic Doctor Who or movies such as Back to the Future, but with a mostly female cast, then this is the story for you.  If you’re not looking for that, then… I don’t know, tell me what you are looking for and I’ll see if I can recommend something.  Here's a longer description:

'Science has the power to turn humankind's dreams into reality... but some dreams can become nightmares.

Kaya Cade finds herself waking up to one such nightmare. Barely escaping with her life, she turns to her childhood friend for help, Jennifer Airhart. But Kaya had turned her back on Jennifer once before, so will they be able to put the past behind them to help each other solve this mystery?

What follows is a fast paced adventure seeing the duo battle the would-be-king of the research and development firm Stag Corp, gothic faeries, changelings, Killer Aqua Bunnies... and finally to confront The Little Queen - a young girl who has suffered a great loss and is determined to have revenge.

A fun tribute to sci-fi action-adventure stories from the past such as Back to the Future, The Goonies, Scooby-Doo and Predator, and a bit of classic Doctor Who. The story also touches on a number of issues such as genetic engineering and synthetic biology, and should humanity engineer it's successor, what kind of parents are we going to be?

But mainly it revolves around the friendship of the two main characters, who need each other more than they know in order to survive. This is the first in a series that will continue with some of the themes and characters established here.'
