Escape at Enginetown

By JP Lantern

Enginetown, a settlement in the middle of the Martian frontier, often has violent confrontations with the mutant natives. Recently, a raid carried out by the men of the town brought back a plethora of the natives for imprisonment and eventual execution. It's a cause for celebration for most of the town. For one young woman, it's an opportunity...

Young Sara is fed up with the longtime cruelty of her brothers. Seeking reprieve, she goes to the one source of help that is more dangerous than any other—the very natives that the townsfolk held at the center of her town.

Finding a strange kinship with a rare female native who possesses strange and mystical powers, Sara forges a dangerous alliance, and discovers how far she will go to teach her brothers a lesson.

JP Lantern

J.P. Lantern lives in the Midwestern US, though his heart and probably some essential parts of his liver and pancreas and whatnot live metaphorically in Texas. He writes speculative science fiction short stories, novellas, and novels which he has deemed "rugged," though he would also be fine with "roughhewn" because that is a terrific and wonderfully apt word.Full of adventure and discovery, these stories examine complex people in situations fraught with conflict as they search for truth in increasingly violent and complicated worlds.
