Gregor's Run
(2016)The Universe is too Small to Hide
(The first book in the Stories From the Filaments series)
A novel by Saxon Andrew
A young human male orphaned by the death of his adopted father struggles to survive in a universe that offers little more than despair. He's forced to scrub booster tubes on commercial starships to make enough coins to feed his alcohol addiction in his dirty day-to-day existence. The future looks dark and is getting darker. To make matters worse, he discovers that two very powerful forces are attempting to capture him and he has no clue why. One of them is the Venzel Dragons, who are recognized as the most deadly warriors in the known universe. The other is a secretive organization simply known as the Movement.
Gregor just can't figure out why they're after him and remaining free is quickly disappearing as an option. He has no choice but to run and try to determine why he is being pursued across the known universe. He has no memory of his childhood or where he was born, and before he can make sense of everything, he would need to go back to Earth and find out who he really is. What he finds changes his world completely, and learning that his adopted father was assassinated makes him resolve to make the killers pay for their actions. But what could a filthy, alcoholic bum do against the two most powerful forces in the known universe? The answer lies on the forest world of Bellingham, and according to the Cartian Database, no one has gone to that planet in more than 600 years and lived.
Gregor's Run will keep you guessing at all the twists and turns as Gregor struggles to find himself in a universe gone insane.
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy
