Neodymium Apocalypse, Part 1

An Exclusive WordFire Press Preorder! Release day is January 7, 2025.

The Universe is finally ending. Ex-freedom fighter Lem Benzaran must find an ancient bioship and assemble an inter-species team to stop the energy apocalypse, or find a way to tell those she loves a decent goodbye. 

Lem’s world is ending. 

That’s not just her personal world, even though she’s still reeling a year after burying one of her best friends at the bottom of a desert ravine. And she’s got family enslaved by mind control on a distant planet under military blockade. 

It’s not just her political world, either, even though the freedom fighters she served since childhood seem happy believing that she died after they exiled her…. 

No, the actual Universe is under attack as interdimensional forces siphon its energy into another plane, eager to speed along its final heat death. They think Lem’s world would look a whole lot better empty. And one of the most powerful military leaders across five solar systems agrees.  

He’s constructing a vast, planet-spanning Structure under their direction to rend a hole in the fabric of space—and Lem may have accidentally handed him its power source.  

Now she’s got to find an ancient bioship and assemble an inter-species team to stop the apocalypse, or find a way to tell those she loves a decent goodbye. 

Praise for Neodymium Chronicles:

“The fascinating characters matched with inventive biological details makes this an adventure that’s sure to enthrall.”—Publishers Weekly  

“Snappy teen protagonists (Lem is sixteen, Bereens a handful of years older), an epic conflict over the very structure of society, and battles both stealthy and dramatic combine to make an entertaining, quick read set in a lightly sketched but intriguing world.”—Booklist
