Before Palar

by Jerry W. Hart

The planet Ohl is in trouble. Its main fuel source, milla, is in short supply and being lorded over by the Soviet Kingdom. Across the Orange Sea is another nation, the United Colonies. It is desperate for milla, so the government turns to the only man capable of building a machine that can not only find the fuel on other planets, but can also harvest it. That man is Cast Palar. Cast finds himself at odds with his country's politics and must stop the warring nations before they destroy the planet. "Before Palar" is a short-story prequel to "Palar."

About the author

I've been writing since middle school. First it was short stories, and then movie scripts, and now it's novels. I've even turned some of my scripts into books because I'm not much of a filmmaker. I recently hit the big 30 and decided it was time to publish some of my work.

I would love to hear from others about what they think. I published my first book, "The Devil's Demeanor," on May 26th and have many more planned in the future.
