Welcome to the WymerNovels blog. Today, I will be discussing my first book, Lightyears.

Lightyears is a novel length book with 67,139 words and is the first book in the Lightyears Trilogy. It is divided into four parts: The BlueMar Reign, The Explorations, The Regulominuss Galaxy, and The Final Mission.

Part One:
Baas and Roedie live on the desert sand planet Kaskoon with their father Olossky. When their father is taken prisoner by the BlueMar Empire, the two brothers set out on a quest across the galaxy in search for him. They soon join in a fight to destroy the BlueMar Empire.

Part Two:
Later, embarking on a mission to explore uncharted regions, they come across an advanced civilization.

Part Three:
Their journey takes them through time to another galaxy where they defeat yet another evil empire. The group splits and some remain in the new galaxy, while the others return back through time to their own galaxy.

Part Four:
An investigation takes them into the past to an ancient kingdom to find out the coordinates of a device they must destroy before it destroys the entire BlueMar Galaxy.

The book also contains a prologue, a mesologue, and an epilogue. I was fascinated with the idea of a mesologue. In Part One, for chapters 6 through 13, there is a section called The Adventures of Baas and Roedie. These chapters are in the first person perspective and alternate between Baas and Roedie. The four chapters with Roedie speaking also have a BlueMar Empire update at the end of each one. At the end of Lightyears, there are appendices that include the Cantin family tree, lists of galactic leaders, and a terminology index of all terms that were created for the story and what chapter they first appear in. At the end of the book, it says “To be continued…”

When I designed the book cover, I made sure that the scene was incorporated into the story. It is in Chapter Twenty-one: The Kameron, on page 125 of the printed book. The scene depicts the character Sintos and his brother Larsinn looking out across a lake on the moon of Cibtar at the beautiful star system beyond. The ship Keen Saber and two Star Knight fighter ships can be seen on display in the foreground.
