See all formats and editions

Artificial life form, Shakbout Mansard just wanted a quiet, ordinary life with his family. As one of the selected few of the Bottle Born who live as free citizens, this was a reasonable ambition.

Unfortunately, Shakbout has dangerous knowledge of a plot to overthrow the government of Mengchi, making him a target for both the plotters and the security forces. At the same time the most dangerous bottle born terrorist in the systems wants Shakbout to commit a crime that will ignite a secret systems-wide war between factions of the Natural and the Bottle Born.

But even these problems are small compared to the secret that Shakbout has been hiding for a decade. Soon, he will have to take desperate measures to save those he loves... and the lives of all free bottle born lifeforms across the systems.

I had a lifelong ambition to become the greatest space cowboy outlaw wizard in the universe. I achieved this ambition and have a beautiful certificate on my wall to prove it. I do admit that the space time continuum is proving reluctant to bend to my will right now, I am not giving an inch. To those naysayers who maintain that the certificate is only a (in fact the BEST EVER) Christmas present from my wife and daughter, know that you are on my list just as soon as I have the Universe sorted out.

In the meantime I retain my current status as a late middle-aged, Irish, male subarbinite, married to the same wonderful woman for nearly forty years and with a daughter I adore. I work in vocational education in the Middle East which means I get to talk as long as I want about supply chains to an audience who are unable to suddenly break away to make a cup of tea. A process that can last for hours.

The Inhabited Systems collection is my current project to create stories that will entertain, engage and start creative conversions between readers and myself. I write reviews on my blog, Dancing With Skeletons, to celebrate the joy of being a reader. Please note that on the weekends I am the Chief Wizard of the Black Ring, which involves a lot more PR than wizarding, which is a little disappointing I have to admit. My time will come.

Continuous battles in fast paced action.

Shakout is called a bottle born in his world, although it wasn’t a bottle where he was brewed. It seems it was some huge vat the produced other Fire Dragon bottle beings. His world is compose of Naturals (born the old fashioned way), bottle born, and sometimes a baby from a Natural and a Bottle Born. He realized the danger to his wife and baby and spent years working with another unnatural (a aquatic form) to create a safe haven for his wife and baby, Petra. This is not only science fiction, but has a huge mix of fantasy also. His child is captured to facilitate the return of the vanished queen. He will need a special charm to rescue her and survive the final battle. Will he live long enough to succeed?
