Voyage of the Wanderlust – Deep Sky Anchor

A TRI-GALACTIC TREK NOVEL

Unexpectedly thrown to the far side of the universe, can a cat and a squirrel convince their warring crews to work together long enough to survive the voyage home?

When Janessa Carroway finally gets her long-overdue promotion to captain, it comes with unfortunate strings attached. She’s sent on a suicide mission with a barebones crew to commit a war crime. Why, it’s almost a relief for the Norwegian Forest cat captain when everything goes completely wrong, and she finds herself on the far side of the cosmos, trying to befriend her enemy, so they can all get home together.

Follow a crew that includes cats, dogs, squirrels, cyborg rabbits, and even a sentient mushroom as they wrestle with their predicament and try not to wrestle with each other.

Join them as they face impossible odds, the perils of space, the failures of technology, ethical quandaries, and a fleet of attacking Zakonraptors!
