Moraturi Lost: Paradisi Chronicles (Lost Mission Series Book 2)
– Learn MoreA new and daring colonization mission, a wormhole to traverse… Getting there is the least of the problems! It’s been done before – what can go wrong?
20-year-old Veterinary Nurse/Trainee Medical Officer Eva Hughes is junior officer on SS Moraturi, transporting 500 colonists to New Eden. Eva’s responsibility is the domestic and farm animals they are bringing, but she is working towards qualifying as both a veterinary and a medical doctor. When you’re 2.5 million lightyears from any other help, you can’t afford people who only have single skill… After a gamma burst in the wormhole, Eva finds herself looking after colonists whose cryobeds failed, and who now show memory loss for specific things. When another wave of radiation hits, the ship slips out of the wormhole, somewhere, sometime… and Eva finds herself in charge of an impossible mission. The quick trip through the wormhole has turned into an epic journey of biblical proportions. The saga begins…
“Moraturi Lost is rich with drama, action, and near-future technologies that are quickly slipping from theoretical into reality. The Lost Missions series continues to be driven by intense character depth and the meeting point between human and machine. The world-building and descriptive passages are meticulous and immersive, and the emotional spectrum that Ward explores is impressive. If you are a sci-fi fan seeking layered, thoughtful meaning behind imaginative storytelling, this sophomore offering from Marti Ward is an excellent choice.” – Self-Publishing Review
