The Void Incursion - Book One - Opening Gambit

by M.J. Blehart

For tens of thousands of years, the races of a far-off galaxy have co-existed, mostly civilly. Over the millennia, each has spread beyond the cradle and created vast societies, kingdoms, nations, associations, and other identities across multiple solar systems.While the universe still has much uncharted territory, the greatest enigma is the void. The emptiness between galaxies has always been a source of mystery and disquiet, but none are prepared when a new threat emerges from the unknown darkness.A former starfighter pilot, a deposed queen, a broker of commodities and influence, a pirate crew, and an average family man find their lives upended in a myriad of ways - both separately and together. All will face choices and challenges that lead to confrontation with the extragalactic invaders, whether they like it or not.The opening gambit of the void incursion will forever change life across the galaxy. The only question is...how much?

About the author

MJ Blehart has been writing stories in the genres of high fantasy and sci-fi/space opera throughout his life, the first when he was nine years old. Over the years the scope of his writing has expanded, adding a variety of genres and styles.

MJ has been a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism (the SCA, a medieval re-enactment society) for over thirty years. In the SCA he is known as Malcolm Bowman, and practices 16th-century rapier combat (he is also an instructor in this), court heraldry, archery, and more.

MJ likes to think he is funny and has been known to pun and make snarky comments. Once, in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a random stranger came up to him, offered to shake his hand, and then told him, "I just had to say...you're an odd-looking fellow."

MJ blogs regularly about mindfulness and conscious reality creation. He lives with his wife and three cats in south New Jersey.

This is the first sci-fi novel of my series - and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it!
