July 31st, 2019: Book Two of Word Series released!




 
     Well, after many setbacks due to life events, I have finally gotten the second book of the Word Series published. Book One, "Let No Word Be Spoken" introduced Captain Henderson Johns, a jumpship captain who traveled the galaxy to negotiate peace and set up trade agreements. On his way back from one such mission, the ship's navigation array malfunctions, requiring his two crew members to go outside the ship and repair the antennae. After finishing the repair, they are struck suddenly by some space debris that kills them, leaving Johns alone on the ship.
     He drifts in space for a while, looking for fuel to make the trip back home to return the bodies to their families. Locating a planet with the elements he needs, he tries to go in for a landing, but ends up crashing on the planet. When he comes to, he is in excruciating pain, but finds himself being attended to by the most beautiful woman he has ever seen.
     There is much more to the story, as Johns learns about the culture of the planet's beautiful red haired female inhabitants and their religion. He realizes that there are no males on the planet, and everyone communicates by telepathy.
     The book ended with Johns being banished from the planet by the world governing agency know as the Compendium.

     Book Two opens up shortly after Johns' removal from the alien world. He is still in touch with Loran Evandell, the alien that made sure he was nursed back to health after his crash. Johns is back at his job, helping the king of the planet Wellis figure out why his subjects seem to dislike him so much. In the process, Johns meets the megalomaniac Ros Maycon, who is plotting to take over Wellis, and that is just the beginning.
     Johns, Loran, and the crew of the jumpship Dreamer's Fortune face their trials bravely, working to stop the machinations of the evil Maycon.

     Book Two should be available for purchase as an ebook or paperback within the next couple of days on Amazon. Look for my books under M Ray Holloway Jr. You might check out some of my short stories as well, like "The Deathburger Saga" or "The Picture of the Ghost".
