Destruction at Decima

By Scott Ashby

More than anything, Jenna wants to be a Cavalier when she grows up, but her parents have other plans. Forced into studying to become a teacher, Jenna feels her life is out of control – but when the Klodfons destroy the entire colony, Jenna finds out what out of control really is.

Can she and the eight children she pulled from the wreckage survive the Klodfons – and the rats – until the mine fleet comes for them, or will they be just another group of victims of the destruction of Decima?

Scott Ashby

Scott Ashby is a somewhat self-taught web designer who prefers to write fantasy and science fiction. He lives and works in Gilbert, Arizona in a tiny bedroom office that is only saved from being called a garret by virtue of being on the ground floor. Like most computer geeks, he doesn’t really notice the passing of hours, or days, so long as food arrives on a regular schedule. When not at the computer, Scott enjoys board games, hiking, and letterboxing.
