Off Planet

More about the book

Mait Martinez, a half-human, half-alien girl, dreams of escaping her life as a waitress in a rundown diner while most have fled the polluted Earth for better worlds. Her existence is complicated by the corporate government's pursuit of her father's alien Auanare race, forcing her to hide her burgeoning abilities. Every moment spent on Earth increases her risk of capture. When a Space Tech officer becomes aggressive at the diner, Mait reacts impulsively, breaking his nose and earning herself three years of forced labor on the perilous volcano planet, Abbadon. The assignment feels like a death sentence, but Mait soon discovers that the mining operations on Abbadon conceal a far more sinister agenda. As she forges unexpected alliances, she uncovers Space Tech's plan to annihilate the Aunare homeworld with stored firepower capable of catastrophic destruction. With time running out, Mait must find a way to thwart Space Tech’s plot to prevent an interstellar war that could obliterate all life in the universe. The stakes are high: can she save humanity while navigating the dangers of her new reality?
