a SCIENCE FICTION SERIES
What began as a colony of hope has fractured into two worlds on the edge of war.
ISOLCATED CONFLICT
The starship Phoenix carried 200 settlers to colonize a distant, toxic world. They formed New Terra, but a splinter group created Trinity. After early cooperation, Trinity cut ties and attacked New Terra scouts. To avoid war, New Terra stayed silent, angering victims’ families.
About the author
James Jacques (Jax) brings a lifetime of experience and curiosity to his writing. Trained as an engineer, James spent over forty years managing complex construction and design projects across the country. He also served proudly as a Naval Officer, balancing discipline and precision with a deep appreciation for structure — both literal and literary.
Now retired from both careers, James has turned his focus to the things he loves most: astronomy, model railroading, and storytelling. Whether he's studying the night sky or crafting compelling narratives, he approaches each with the same attention to detail and imagination that defined his professional life.
James lives with his wife in a quiet town just west of Eugene, Oregon — the perfect backdrop for a new chapter of creativity.
