Book Description
In Chains of Destruction, the sequel to 2001's Chains of Freedom: Three years have passed. The New Alliance has successfully kept the Reliance out of zone 2-A and has set up a new government. After a few initial problems, the new country is running like a well-oiled machine. Jessica Kirk fell from grace in the Reliance's eyes and jumped planet, successfully disappearing without a trace. With no hope of settling her score with Kirk and no battles to fight, RJ becomes restless. She is a genetically engineered humanoid created and trained for war, with nothing to keep her mind occupied but her grief and uncertainty about her real place in the universe. To ease the pain in her heart and the confusion in her mind, RJ decides to go on a quest to the planet of her maternal origin, the planet Argy, in the hope of enlisting the Argy's help in further campaigns against the Reliance. She hopes to go alone except for her robotic brother Poley but soon finds that Topaz, David and Levites will not be left behind. As they are hijacking a Reliance ship they uncover a Reliance conspiracy and soon find themselves charting a course for an obscure, mostly inhospitable planet called Beta 4. The conflicts they must face will either be their redemption or their undoing.
About the Author
Selina Rosen lives in rural Arkansas with her partner of ten years, and assorted animal and plant life. Besides writing, she enjoys (heavy) sword fighting, fencing, building things from trash, gardening, and making smug people feel small. She also enjoys drinking and singing really dirty songs.
Selina has been writing almost every day of her life since she was twelve. She has tried to quit on occasion without success, and hopes that some day "they" will come up with a twelve-step program for writers to help them with their addiction.
Her short fiction has appeared in several issues of Marion Zimmer Bradley's Fantasy Magazine, and anthologies such as Such A Pretty Face, Sword and Sorceress 16, and Personal Demons to name a few.
Other Meisha Merlin titles include Queen of Denial, and the first book in this series (oh...you didn't know there was a first book? Now things are starting to make sense!)…Chains of Freedom.
She and a few other masochists own and run Yard Dog Press, which would explain why YDP carries so many of her titles, including...The Bubba Chronicles (a collection of her short fiction both horror and sci-fi), The Host Series, Fire and Ice, and a sci-fi/police procedural/horror novella entitled The Boat Man.
She has also edited two anthologies, Stories That Won't Make Your Parents Hurl (children's horror), and Bubbas of the Apocalypse a shared universe anthology of her own creation…be afraid-be very afraid!
She publishes installments of her science fiction novel-in-progress, Torque City Blues, on a monthly basis at the Yard Dog website. She also posts new "rants" on the website fairly often, because as she says you can't work in this business and not stay pissed off!
