(There should seriously be genres for writing and such under submission themes. At the very least they could put "Science Fiction" under "General Things". :/ )

(You may find the format on SoFurry easier (plus then you don't have to download anything), so feel free to check it out here instead.)


Well, here are the first two chapters of the REAL final version of my novel (now renamed), introducing the primary characters of the first book. Unfortunately, I shan't be submitting any more of the novel (aside from maybe a few extracts) as I am pretty serious about actually getting it published these days. So, if this preview gave you a good taste of the novel, feel free to patiently wait for its completion and (hopefully) eventual release (at which point you can buy it or somehow convince me to email it to you). ^^

Dual Initiation is the first of a trilogy entitled The Peoples of Algol. The working titles of the next two books in the series are The Ambassador and New Life.

For those unfamiliar with The Peoples of Algol, it is set 200 years from now on the fictional planet Novusvita in the Algol (aka Beta Persei) solar system. The plot revolves around both the human colonists on the planet and the pre-industrial natives, the Zen'ji. A third, seemingly external force also evidently plays a role, driving the plot forward.

Novusvita is the subject of my most extensive world building project to date, formerly the NewLife project, the forum of which can be found here.

As TPoA is still a work in progress, feel free to give constructive criticism! ^^
