Hidden Planet: A Cooperative Realm Novel

by Nicky Penttila

The people of Arkhide don't fear their planet's mighty volcanoes, but they have long lived in fear of being 'discovered' by the mammoth Cooperative Realm of Planets.

Now the Co-op has found them.

To save her people, Katla Sofiasdotter is charged with changing the terms on the unfair treaty the Cooperatives have offered. A treaty that sentences thousands on her planet, "illegals," to immediate death.

Problem is, Katla's no diplomat.

About the author

My stories explore the human heart amidst the stars. I delve into themes of identity, love, and family through characters like disillusioned robots and future families. If you're seeking emotionally rich narratives, you'll find a home in my tales.

From my journalism days across the country to quiet Maryland life with my book-loving spouse and rescue cats, storytelling has been my constant. I aim to connect readers with stories that explore human emotions in extraordinary circumstances.
