Update

I chose the story I plan to flush out into the first volume of the Reptilia Droc series. Scavenger, which is a short stories I wrote and involves characters on the outside of the conflict between the Droc and the Corporations, which will make this a good introduction into the Droc universe.

Here’s the synopsis:

An engineer who ruined his reputation with the massive Coiypax Corporation, Derric Lorne is desperate to start a new life. He’s about to catch a shuttle off-world when a beautiful pilot, Ellie, tries to recruit him for a salvaging operation in the Outer Territories. Derric is not thrilled at the mention of this lawless region of space, or the unusual goal of retrieving Reptilia Droc technology. After all, what could be gained from a species of reclusive savages? However, when Ellie tempts him with scans of an advanced, alien warship, Derric surrenders to curiosity and ambition.

Adventure soon gives way to fear, as the crew is relentlessly threatened by the hostile factions stalking the void. Meanwhile, the growing path of destruction left by the Reptilia Droc will call into question everything Derric previously believed about the Galactic Corporations. As Derric draws closer to the truth, he will find his courage, and ingenuity,put to the ultimate test.
