A first contact story where protocol is not followed. The 4 person, Cochise starship is attacked by an unknown space ship and lands on a planet with some damage to the starship. They are not expecting to meet any sentient beings but discover very human like people that are living in a world where the horse is the fastest means of transportation. The captain is seen as a mage because the things he is capable of doing must mean that he is a wizard and has magical abilities. The ship needs repairs and the world has blacksmiths but with very primitive abilities. The crew gets caught up in a war, and two types of humans are found. The planets primitive horse people and a few folks with advanced technology. The DNA analysis shows that these people are +99% human. How humans arrived on this planet is not known but it is a fascinating take on first contact. I don’t know if more books will be written by this author about this story, as in a series but it has the solid bones to become a series.

November 28, 2023DNF. I made it a few pages in, and it was hard to understand and had lots of profanity, including names of Deity and the f-word.
