The Unlighted Sentinel

Rate this book
Generations after interplanetary space went silent, after all communication with other worlds ended, a dozen motley communities eke out their existence upon a distance station. Supplies run perpetually low, breakdowns constantly loom, and some survivors nurture a taste for flesh. Yet even in the darkest and most precarious of places, love endures.

Short science fiction by author J.L. Forrest. Honest Indie Reviews writes, "As speculative fiction is meant to do, Forrest’s stories put Faulkner’s ‘eternal verities’ of love, honor, courage and compassion on bold display, gems in ring settings of the bizarre, dramatic and even frightening. These are great stories from a writer who knows the techniques of good writing and infuses them with heart, soul, insight and a fearful imagination."
