Science fiction – the richest of its kind - a real feast for the lovers of speculative fiction!
In the 24th century, Humankind colonized over a thousand planets, and explored most part of the Orion Arm. There was also a bloody civil war. A hundred years later, human civilization faces revolutionary changes. In the Xan-4 System, both scientists and the Federation’s soldiers observe two alien races from the orbital station. Meanwhile, in the distant New Rouen System, the Recycling Corps’ ship, the Nomad, finds a mysterious, millennia-old shipwreck while clearing the fields of long-forgotten battles. The advanced technology is impressive, but the being found onboard could shake the human civilization’s foundations…
"Robert J. Szmidt shows a truly remarkable imagination, and tells the story with charm and originality. I highly recommend it."
Mike Resnick, Hugo and Nebula award winner
"Easy to Be a God is an exciting beginning to an epic saga of space exploration. Morrisey and his crew of daring, corrupt rogues will hold you breathless as they loot the wrecks of spaceships – until they find the one that could change everything in the Galaxy."
Nancy Kress, winner of the Hugo and Nebula awards
"Robert J. Szmidt writes on a vast canvas. His stories are ambitious space opera that will capture your imagination."
Kevin J. Anderson, co-author of the Dune series, author of The Dark Between the Stars
"With the right tech, it's easy to be a god. But as Robert J. Szmidt points out in this impressive novel, to be a god for the right reasons, sometimes you have to spend a few years in Hell, first."
David Weber, founder of Honorverse
"A fast-paced tale of a piratical salvage crew who find more than they expected when they discover an ancient Alien artefact. An engaging story”
Jack Campbell, author of the best-selling series Lost Fleet
