In the aftermath of the Abyssal War, humanity has finally taken its place among the stars. The dream of the Cynos Union, a dream of disparate races finally coming together for the common good, a dream of a galaxy that finally knows peace, has come true.
And yet, there are still adventures to be had, as the crew of the human freighter Diomedes are about to find out. There's something a little bit unusual about their new passenger.
Although that might be because she's a dog in a spacesuit...
Captain Jacob Green, "Bulldog" Rymack and the rest of the crew are about to embark upon an adventure that will take them across two star systems and right into the heart of obsession, as they race to uncover the secret of THE NON-RANDOM DOG!
Mark W. Bonnett is a rapidly greying science fiction and fantasy author, hailing from the distressingly flat bit of Britain. He was born in the heady days of the late 70s.
Presumably his mum and dad took some part in the process, somehow.
Having written since he was a wee nipper, he embarked on his first published mega-project, the ongoing and growing Cynos Union series, a project that's both a love letter to, and a reimagining of, the space opera stories in which he absorbed himself while growing up. Throughout his whole life, Mark knew he wanted to write; he wanted to tell stories, to reach into people's heads, and let them experience the vastness and wonder of the universe in the same way that he experiences it. Armed only with a media degree he's never found a use for and a keyboard that he's convinced is becoming self-aware, his mission is to bring you all along into his huge, weird, and often twisted universe.
Inspired by the greats of science fiction history, by shape-changing robot toys, and by 80s rock/metal (and pretty much everything else from the 80s, for that matter), Mark W. Bonnett's mind never rests as it makes up tall tales still to come within The Cynos Union.
Mark often says that writing is like playing god in his own personal universe, albeit without any real responsibility over actual people.
He fervently believes this is probably for the best.
