Greta van der Rol loves writing science fiction with a large dollop of good old, healthy romance. She lives not far from the coast in Queensland, Australia and enjoys photography and cooking when she isn't bent over the computer. She has a degree in history and a background in building information systems, both of which go a long way toward helping her in her writing endeavours.
Thanks so much for giving me room on your
blog. I'm really excited to announce the publication of the second, and
concluding, “Iron Admiral” book.
In the first novel, “The Iron Admiral:
Conspiracy”, hostility is growing between the vast Ptorix Empire and the Human
Confederacy. Admiral Chaka Saahren, hero of the Confederacy, is dismissed from
his post after he is blamed for the massacre of ptorix miners on an obscure
planet. On a search for the real culprits he accepts a job as a security guard
on the mysterious planet Tisyphor. There, he meets brilliant systems engineer
Allysha Marten. Saahren never had much time for women but he falls head over
heels in love with this one. Allysha has taken one last job to rid her of debts
and her cheating husband and despite her misgivings soon finds herself falling
for the man she knows as Brad Stone. When she learns that Brad Stone is really
Chaka Saahren her world falls apart – she believes he is responsible for the
deaths of millions of civilians, amongst them, her father. Things (of course)
get worse before they get better. At the end of the book, Saahren has been
re-instated and he and Allysha have averted a cataclysmic viral attack on her
home planet. She is certainly not open to Saahren's suggestion of marriage, but
things are much too volatile for her to go home, so she accepts his offer of a
half-year contract with the Star Fleet.
That's where book two - “The Iron Admiral:
Deception” - begins. Allysha is working for the Star Fleet in the Confederacy's
capital city. Everybody still wants a piece of her. Saahren has been promoted
to Grand Admiral but that doesn't bring him any closer to winning Allysha.
Allysha's husband has been dragooned once again to deliver his wife so she can
complete a job for the shadowy Galactic People's Republic. If he fails, he
dies. We follow Saahren and Allysha as he learns he can't order her around or
keep her in a cocoon, while she learns that truth is so very often a matter of
perception. Eventually, she must confront the issues of the past and deal with
them on her own. Before it's over both Allysha and Saahren will be confronted
with excruciating decisions.
I'm proud of the book. I'm sure readers
will find it's a worthy successor to Book One and all their questions will be
answered.
