Landfall

by Mark R. Healy

The Earth is suffocating under toxic skies and there’s only one way for those left behind to escape – the space elevator that sits atop the massive structure known as the Reach. Knile Oberend has returned from exile and faced the demons of his past. Having climbed to the top of the Reach, he now faces his toughest challenge – finding a way to save those he left behind. For years Talia Anders lived alone and in poverty. Now as she makes her way toward the Reach to rescue an old friend, a mysterious man shadows her movements and threatens to destroy her dreams of escape. Meanwhile, disgraced cop Alec Duran has reached rock bottom. Alienated by his own colleagues, he finds himself at the mercy of a group of vigilantes who may turn out to be his only chance at salvation. And, in the habitat far above the Reach, a discovery is made that will impact all of their futures in ways they could never anticipate. Landfall (Book 2 of the Reach) chronicles the continuing saga of the last days of Earth and the characters whose lives become intertwined as they try to escape.

About the author

Mark R. Healy is an author and musician from Brisbane, Australia. From an early age he loved to create, and often assembled his own illustrated books with accompanying stories - and then forced his parents to buy them.

Unfortunately this model was not scalable and Mark now seeks to promote his works to a wider audience.

Mark has also combined his storytelling prowess with music, creating a project called ‘Hibernal’ through which he interweaves original sci-fi stories with his own music to create an immersive theatrical experience for the listener. Combined with a professional voice cast and sound effects, these “audio movies” are available online through iTunes, Bandcamp and Amazon under the name ‘Hibernal’.
