Jabin

by Bev Allen

The space colony is rife with religious and political rivalry, and prey to the vicious maraudings of pirates whose cruelty is savage. In New Wales the pirate attacks are relentless and merciless. Having lost both his parents, Jabin is adopted by malicious relatives.

Jabin altruistically surrenders to a raiding gang; he does so believing nothing can be worse than his current suffering. He discovers circumstance does worsen when megalomaniacs rule. When the King of New Wales is assassinated, the colony threatens to collapse into total anarchy, leaving the pirates free rein to mutilate, kill, and profit. Earth's law enforcement are ready for retaliation. Jabin has a vital role in the ensuing war, if he can survive the current mayhem.

Interstellar espionage is visceral in this masterpiece of cosmic suspense.

About the author

I fell in love with my first soldier outside Buckingham Palace. He was a Coldstream on guard and I was four.
Later I fell in love with reading and writing and then with scific and tales of high adventure.
Later still I married a military historian and he conducted me on guided lecture tours around many a battlefield and many a musuem
Despite this, or maybe because of it, I never lost my love of all things military or of adventure stories.
"Jabin" is a result of all this.
Other published work includes a short story in a SFX Pulp Fiction Anthology and a Dr Who story published by Big Finish.
I like the challenge of short story writing, so my blog is stuffed with examples for anyone to read.
