Vorcalix: An Epic Space Opera Adventure

Shepherd Security Services #5

by Robert M. Kerns

Korvira—the Crown Princess of Vorcalix—enjoys a rare day out of the palace.

Farmers' markets. Local crafters. Meeting the people she will one day rule. It's the necessary connection to "regular" people that everyone in power should maintain.

But when a commotion distracts her security for one moment too long, Korvira vanishes.

When the ransom note arrives at the palace, there's only one team the King will trust with the safety of his daughter.

Join Shepherd Security Services in a race against time to once again bring Korvira home safe and sound.

About the author

Robert M. Kerns (or Rob if you ever meet him in person) is a geek, and he claims that label proudly. Most of his geekiness revolves around Information Technology (IT), having over fifteen years in the industry; within IT, he especially prefers Servers and Networks, and he often makes the claim that his residence has a better data infrastructure than some businesses.

Beyond IT, Rob enjoys Science Fiction and Fantasy of (almost) all stripes. He is a voracious reader, with his favorite books too numerous to list.

Rob has been writing for over twenty years, and "Awakening" is his debut novel.
