The galaxy is in turmoil. The avarice of the Sovereign Corporate States knows no bounds, laying waste to all who dare oppose them. Even the Coalition of Free Planetary Republics is ill-equipped to aid those who petition it for protection.
Enter the Fugitive, the Advocate, and the Huntrex. An unlikely trio, the secret they possess has the potential to free the galaxy… or enslave it. Can they be trusted to wield such unchecked, almighty power? Can anyone?
With billions of lives and everything the Free Planetary Movement stands for hanging in the balance, the protectors of the Lazarus Particle and their allies have no choice but to answer the call to arms with everything they have — no matter the consequences.
A lifelong reader, dreamer, and avid science fiction fan, Logan Thomas Snyder began his journey as an independent author in August 2013. Since then he has written a number of books and shorts, including Between Kings and Carnage, VIOLET, The Lazarus Particle, and more.
Logan's stories can also be found in popular anthologies such as ALT.HISTORY 101, The A.I. Chronicles, The Powers That Be, and WOOL Gathering. He can be contacted through his website, LoganThomasSnyder.com, as well as Facebook and Twitter.
In his short story Spike in a Rail, Snyder introduces us to the character Xenecia. She is a ruthless bounty hunter with a chip on her shoulder due to the fact that another race annilated her planet and wiped out most of her race. She is a very interesting, strong female character and one Snyder wrote more about in the book The Lazarus Particle. To follow her exploits I decided to read this "pew-pew" space opera even though shoot 'em ups are not my normal read.
In The Lazarus Particle planets in the universe are threatened by several different forces including clans of warring aliens and an interstellar corporation with it's own military. The planets have only a ragtag collection of the Coalition of Free Planetary Republics to defend them. Enter into this mix a man fleeing his job with the corporation with secret knowledge for which people are willing to go to war to obtain.
If you like warring factions with lots of action, you will like this book. As I've already said, this isn't my genre. What I like about reading Logan Thomas Snyder stories are his characters. Each one is unique and during the course of the story Snyder fleshes out their personalities to the point that you know them as good friends. This is the core of what makes him a good writer and The Lazarus Particle a good read.
