Remuda: The Prometheus Saga Volume 2

by Elle Andrews Patt, Veronica H. Hart (Editor), Kelley Walters (Editor)

Horses. Cowboys. An alien probe in human form. What else does a cattle drive need? Oh, no. Not that... It’s 1886 and seventeen-year-old Ranger Jacobs finally has the chance to prove his commitment to Jacobs Cattle Company by overseeing the remuda on a high-priced cattle drive. When his favorite horse dies, Ranger’s new mount tests his mettle, launching him on a journey of discovery that threatens to destroy his lifelong dreams of taking over the company his grandfather built. Not to mention shatter his heart. Will contact with Prometheus shape Ranger's destiny or leave his future in the hands of fate? Q - What is the Prometheus Saga? A - In the Prometheus Saga, thirteen authors unite to interpret how an alien presence would interact with the human condition over a time period that spans from the dawn of man to the present. The stories cross genres and genders, allowing for entirely different narratives and insights on historical events and the human experience. Q - Where should a reader start when selecting a short story to read in The Prometheus Saga? A - Each story is self-contained and can be read in any order. The reader is free to select any of the stories at random to begin their experience. Each short story has a different setting in history. The book description will explain the time period setting for each particular story. Q - What is this alien probe? A - An alien civilization landed a probe on Earth at the dawn of mankind. This probe, a form of artificial intelligence, can morph into any human form, take on any human identity, either male or female. Its life spans hundreds of thousands of years. Its mission is to report everything it can about us to its home planet. What this humanoid observes and learns over centuries of human existence will be interpreted through each short story in the saga. The alien probe is as mythic as Prometheus, the Greek Titan who was said to have brought fire to mankind.  About The Author Elle Andrews Patt writes speculative and mainstream fiction.
