Lethal Injection
LETHAL INJECTION MAY NOT BE WHAT YOU THINK IT IS
A corrupt corporation taking orders from corrupt politicians deploy a massive scheme to get rich off an alternate energy source, while at the same time using it to rid the Earth of undesirables.
The energy source is mined on a territory that is not on Earth, and the only way to get there is under the guise of lethal injection. The plot is advancing, wealth is coming to fruition, and depopulation is within reach.
Ian Knockshine has a plan. In prison for murder, he receives the lethal injection—the life-ending drug. But he wakes up in a penal colony—his memory wiped—and forced to do slave labor. While he spends endless days mining the powerful gem, his memory returns in bits and pieces. The first being he is innocent. The most shocking—his name is not Knockshine.
On Earth, his former lab partner waits anxiously for Ian to remember his mission and make contact. Time is ticking, the enemy is growing stronger, and Earth is sliding closer and closer toward accepting the hazardous new energy. Only Ian can stop it.
And only if he can remember…

This book received honourable mention for self-published genre fiction in the Writer's Digest writing conteset as well as a B-R-A-G medallion. The story elements are there, but the story editing wasn't top drawer (but better than her romance novel.) This needs a good story editor to help trim redundant conversations and trim out a few things put in their for convenience ie it would have been better if it were shorter and tighter. Most of us don't know how important that is because we read conventionally published books; the number of self-published book that have had great story editing are extremely few, although I do know some stellar ones.
In addition, better copy-editing, although this was significantly better than her romance nove. I found far fewer issues in this book than in her romance novel. Grammar and punctuation are fairly good, but I did take a pen to my book several times to fix things. In addition, I'd like to see more focus on voicing. Changing a some words isn't enough, I want to read a distinctly different voice for each POV. One thing an good story editor would have asked is
