Overview
Renata Garver Soto has never understood why humanity surrendered its colony ship to an alien species. The Pod rule from the shadows, control every critical system, and demand only obedience in return for survival. Most people have learned to live with that. Ren hasn't. When rumors spread of children vanishing from the ship's tightly monitored corridors, Ren begins asking questions no one else wants answered. Her search for proof ends the same way the rumors do-with her disappearance. What she uncovers is far worse than kidnapping. The Pod's leader is reshaping human minds, quietly and deliberately, and resistance comes at a terrible cost. With her friends now in danger and no one left she can fully trust, Ren is forced into a game of espionage, deception, and psychological warfare against an enemy that can pry into her very memories. To free the ship, Ren will have to risk more than her life. She'll have to risk her mind.

Reviews
""Overall, I am impressed for this first outing of a new author. He hits it out of the park with a book that falls right in the goldilocks zone of attention to detail, world-building, character development, and story."" - Adam T. ""Of Oracles and Sirens is a brilliant, multifaceted work that will resonate with readers who crave hard science fiction bolstered by profound psychological depth and a fierce commitment to the integrity of the individual soul."" - Eric L. ""An excellent space adventure reminiscent of Hunger Games and Ender's Game"" Ris L.
Author Information
Strix grew up watching sci-fi films on a farm in Iowa, always dreaming of bigger, better things for humanity. He saw the world for a spell, joining the US Marines and spending two years in Okinawa, Japan and meeting all kinds of wonderful new people, thankfully far removed from combat. Afterwards he moved home to Iowa and began a career in IT, devouring any space exploration news he could find and ripping through sci-fi novels. His imagination not satisfied, Strix created worlds of his own for he and his friends to escape to in many a Dungeons & Dragons session. After much encouragement from friends and family he finally struck upon inspiration for a story in a science fiction setting and began crafting the universe it would occur in. He looks forward to bringing this universe to life on the page, and to many future stories he has planned!
