The Unconquerable Star

Book excerpt: The plot of the Black-fires—violent, flame-producing beings—to abduct Dust, an individual unique for his powerful sonar, failed. The small force of would-be kidnappers, led by Maggie Mushu, now flee, certain they will be tortured and killed if they report their failure to their queen, Nesh-nesh, and their spacecraft low on fuel. They seek refuge on the avaricious planet Dawd, unaware that an invisible tracker was placed on their ship and a group of heroes led by Princess Silk of the peaceful, God-worshipping Dronewatoners of Planet Star now pursues them. Meanwhile, Nesh-nesh mobilizes her troops across the stars to find Maggie Mushu and prepare for an assault against Planet Star. Queen Star and her military leader, Captain Ode, do their best to raise soldiers out of the pacifistic Dronewatoners of Planet Star, hoping to prepare an army in time for a potential war with the Black-Fires. As interplanetary plots and clashing motivations unfold across space, one question remains: Is conflict inevitable? Or can the people of Planet Star show the Black-Fires the glory of God before it is too late? The sequel to The Unconquerable Dust, The Unconquerable Star is a thrilling tale of good against evil and the power of God and Christian values set against an imaginative sci-fi backdrop.
