The world of Antridi is full of wonder and secrets...
Grant Stevens, Jace Perkins, and Nora Lake have been best friends since childhood. They came to Antridi seeking adventure and the promise of something new on an alien planet, though their jobs at TerranCorp allow for little adventure apart from the occasional excavation or testing of mining equipment.
When wealthy genius Alan Riker contacts Grant about an illegal yet lucrative excursion to find and bring back Antridian minerals, Grant can't resist asking his friends to join him. They soon meet up with Kent, Izzy, and the android Clive, and set off on an adventure that could change their lives or cost them everything.
However, they are not the only ones who want to get their hands on Antridium. Russell Cambridge also has big plans for the precious mineral and will stop at nothing to prevent Riker's crew from obtaining it first.
Expanding the world of Antridi that was first introduced in his debut novella Trouble in Peaceful Haven, C. R. Leverette delivers an action-packed story that will transport readers deep into an alien world. Strange plants and creatures abound as tempers flare, romance is kindled, and life and death hang in the balance.
I am a writer of science fiction, fantasy, and poetry. I am a voracious reader, reading everything from science fiction to fantasy to westerns to graphic novels. My childhood daydreaming and reading led me to want to put my ideas down on paper.
Though I have been writing for most of my life, my sci-fi western novella "Trouble in Peaceful Haven" is my first published work
You do not need to be a fan of science fiction to enjoy or to understand this book. I loved every minute of it. It was very entertaining, thrilling, and adventurous reading. Leverette did it again just like his first book, and now this book it was a page turner. I can't wait for his next Adventure on Antridi.
This is the kind of book you can't put down till it's over. Set on Antridi, The Mountains explores much more of the planet than in Trouble in Peaceful Haven. The imagery is vast and gorgeous. The charachters are real and relatable. I highly recommend this novel to anyone.
The worldbuilding is interesting, the characters are likeable, and the story is entertaining. There are some plot holes, and more violent than I expected, but the book is an enjoyable, fast read.
