NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON!
August 9, 2024

Captain Kandley transports cargo to all segments of the universe, charted or uncharted. Her reputation for discretion and prompt delivery has increased her client base — and financial accounts.

When Kandley’s ship requires maintenance, she is referred to a gentle mechanic, JonCal, on the desolate, quaint Amrebu, a planet located on this side of MidLine. During one of Kandley’s visits, she inadvertently becomes involved in a violent attack on a secluded ranch and rescues the badly injured owner. After tracking down the alien perpetrators, she guarantees no one on Amrebu, or anyone else in the cosmos will ever be harmed by the murderous thieves again. The not-so-gentle JonCal blackmails Kandley into traveling to The Station, a behemoth of technology and scientific studies, to find a missing child scientist who may or may not be involved in the attack on the ranch. She discovers The Station’s facade of philanthropy hides a despicable covert campaign expanding throughout the universe. Also, Amrebu has secrets JonCal is not sharing. More importantly if Captain Kandley’s truths are confronted it could challenge her very existence.

Dancing Above the Moon - A Sci-Fi Adventure Novel by Ardyce Years

DANCING ABOVE THE MOON

May 14, 2020

The wildly prosperous enterprise of illegally kidnapping mass numbers of Humans from Earth has been stopped, but not before 50,000 souls were brutally transported across the universe to MidLine and sold at auction. Owning a Human is the ultimate sign of prosperity and has incited a cosmos buying frenzy.

Rumors are circulating that Humans were purchased by despicable inhabitants from a terrestrial planet for the sole purpose of sacrifice to a black hole.

Two Humans, Jed who has lived across the universe since he was a boy and Timothy, earthbound until he tried to help the disappearing homeless, race towards the blackness and hope they have not run out of time.

BROTHER 5

Dec 21, 2014

Timothy’s only interruption of his alcohol fueled, thirty-something life is Lucy, a homeless woman who stops by his office every morning. They participate in a charade of chase, which always ends by Timothy giving her a couple of dollars and an egg sandwich. One day she smiles at him and touches his arm in gratitude. Lucy never returns. Timothy’s co-workers encourage him to search for Lucy at a local shelter where he is approached by Jed and his mongrel companion, Diablo. Jed is a self-styled private eye and investigates the “gone-missing,” those who disappear from the street. He suspects an increased number of homeless are vanishing and not by natural causes.

Jed agrees to help Timothy find Lucy. During their search a street gang attacks them. A weapon not-from-our-planet almost fatally injures Jed, forcing him to travel off our world to receive treatment to save his life. The Zephyr, an Earth-specific method of transportation, propels Jed and the unwitting Timothy to a space station located near Alpha Centauri. The quest for the “gone-missing” begins.

Their journey takes them to Brother 5, a genesis-created solar system of five planets. On Brother 5 they discover a conspiracy to kidnap Humans from Earth. The investigation takes Timothy and Jed to places Timothy could never imagine. What they find is far worse than just a few unwanted Humans transported off Earth. Timothy and Jed must fight time and universe’s creatures to prevent the Human abductions.
