Hey Reader!

The Blackheart is the newest story from SciFi author Thom Bedford, due for release in two weeks on the 5th April 2025. Available to pre-order now on Amazon Kindle for less than a dollar.

This novella is a short 2-3 hour read at just 100 pages. Set alongside the Sandorn's Allegiance books, this works well as a prequel or a spinoff.

SABOTAGE AND SUSPICION

After narrowly escaping an explosion from a botched sabotage attempt, Captain Felysta Sandorn of the Combined Systems Alliance receives orders to lead a small fleet of agile warships to hunt down and destroy a pirate group. On arrival to the neutral system, however, not everything is as it seems, as they encounter archaic vessels and subdued, nervous behavior.

The year is 2815 and the galaxy teeters on the brink of war, but not everyone can be trusted. Is Felysta’s target a ragtag band of pirates as she’s been told? Or is it an organized fleet sent by the supposed Free Planetary Union, an emerging galactic empire? Only time will tell.

THE PIRATES OF WAN-NAKHON

This military space opera novella brings deception, suspense, and epic fleet combat to the genre, with detailed world-building, politics, and a hint of romance. All the best parts of science fiction.

For fans of franchises like Star Wars or the darker side of Star Trek, and fans of authors like Jack Campbell or John Scalzi.
