If you’re a science fiction or fantasy fan, be sure to download some freebies this month! You have a dozen ebooks to choose from, including “The Terra Debacle: Prisoners at Area 51,” which is an independent side-story to the Star Trails Tetralogy.

The Terra Debacle is the story of what happens when a rogue UFO lands at Hill Air Force Base in Ogden, Utah. An adolescent girl, robot, and flora peda telepathis (telepathic walking plant) are onboard and confiscated by authorities. The girl’s experiences are part of Star Trails Tetralogy book 2, “A Dark of Endless Days.” However, what happens to her robot, Aggie, and Thyron, the plant, is only included in “The Terra Debacle.”

These two characters are among the most popular in the series and it was impossible to ignore what they went through while captive at Area 51. Thus, “The Terra Debacle” was born and has been very popular for its humor as Thyron observes humans, particularly the astrobiologist, Gabe Greenley, who’s job it is to study him.

But in truth, who’s studying whom?

As with all the STEM-friendly Star Trails books, this one has some real science incorporated into the story. As Gabe investigates a sentient life-form with a metabolism based on photosynthesis, his discoveries result in a moral dilemma as he faces a potentially treasonous decision.

Be sure to grab a copy while it’s free, tell your friends, and please be so kind to leave a review somewhere when you’ve read it!

Happy reading!
