– Gold Medal Winner, 2025 Global Book Awards -Upper Michigan.A December night.Snow clings to a forest of pines . . . that bear silent witness to a descending cloud, a vaporous swirl that parts before the blade-like prow of a trans-galactic craft. The alien has come -And the madness begins.Vaka Sevah, Book 1 – The Great Ice opens with an arrival. A being with staggering technology and altered flesh has crossed the stars, but he didn’t come to invade. He’s not here to conquer or slaughter. Instead, he came for knowledge, for the answer to a mystery that fires his world. And if the lore of his Quest is true, the answer lies in the mind of a boy.A young man who lives, by every indication, in East Detroit.And somewhere among those abandoned buildings and potholed streets, Garth Miller just tries to survive. But when a pair of visitors arrive, when two mangled strangers launch him into a world of blazing days, freakish carnivores, and subzero nights, he learns the truth of what real survival means.But when he hears about the Quest, the ancient lore of a Promise Foretold? It’s not the surviving that scares him.It’s more just himself.A spiraling adventure into a desperate, dangerous, and very strange world, Vaka Sevah, Book1 – The Great Ice pits a young man against a savage military, a nightmarish machine, and the shocking implication of the Promise Foretold.”A stunning debut for a sci-fi author. It’s complex, sophisticated, but highly readable. It was exciting to feel like I’m one of the first people to have discovered it.” – D. A. Cathcart
