THE REAL STRANGERS ARE WITHIN. "Kevin Tumlinson has this ability to make us believe in his characters. In addition to the understated precision of his style, the thing that distinguishes Kevin's fiction is his ability with plot. He is a natural storyteller." - DR. JAMES ULMER, AUTHOR OF "THE SECRET LIFE" A MIND DIVIDED. A HOLLOW VICTORY. A NEW SPECIES. Against all odds, on an unchartered world, the souls of First Colony have been restored to life, and a centuries old wrong has been righted-sort of. On the planet's surface, a young woman struggles to reclaim her mind from the strange aftereffects of the cancellation wave. High above, the struggling colony's last hope of going home slowly falls from orbit, and two men face death to prevent it. And as the human colonists and their Esool captain struggle for survival, a new species emerges that can be the colony's savior-or its most dangerous enemy. As if it needed more. BOOK TWO OF THREE

GET YOUR SHIP TOGETHER. "If you like Andy Weir's The Martian and Hugh Howey's Wool, you will love Kevin Tumlinson's Citadel." AN ANCIENT ENEMY. A THREAT OF WAR. AN UNEXPECTED HOPE. ALL ON THE WRONG FREAKING PLANET. It's been over a century since the terrorist attack that nearly ended any chance for humanity to travel to the stars. Then there was the fifty years of war with the plant-like Esool, the rise of a powerful, cult-like anti-colonization group, and the increasing tensions between the wealthy upper class and the lower working class. But we're getting better. Except for the part where the first joint colony effort between humans and the Esool results in the colony ship Citadel crashing on the wrong planet, with no hope of returning home. Now the struggling colony itself led by a former alien enemy, and hidden among them is both the saboteur and the most notorious terrorist history has ever known. Survival will mean pulling together and doing the impossible a few dozen times. Unless, of course, a brand new alien species puts a stop to the whole thing. And the colonists thought it was a rough ride coming down. THE COMPLETE SERIES

IT WAS GOING TO BE CALLED "THE BOOK OF KEVIN"But that sounded too "manifesto."It started with Neil Gaiman recommending a notebook, and an author marking his 50th birthday. Every day, for 123 days, a bestselling novelist wrote down the little bits of wisdom he'd heard and learned from mentors and family and friends over the years, as well as some things he'd thought of all on his own. And after the notebook was full he typed it all up, read it all through, and somehow learned a few new things himself.A Note from the Author is 123 days of exploration and reflection, inspiration and extrapoltion. From Stoic philsophy to folksy wisdom, every page has something to teach and carry with you.From "Grattitude is a Cheat Code" to the uncomfortable notion that "The Obstacle Could Be You," this book is packed with the sort of wisdom you would hope to get from a true friend or a brilliant mentor. And no one is more surprised about it than the author himself.START YOUR JOURNEY WITH SOME WORDS FROM A TRUE WISE GUY
