The Blood Dancers

Space is a treacherous frontier, but the Burning Apollo must explore—even if it kills them.

Routine shore leave goes wrong goes when terrorists attack a normally peaceful planet. Forced into a pursuit they weren’t prepared for, the Burning Apollo faces a horrific new enemy—one that will turn her captain against the crew and offer a shocking revelation of just how far humanity has fallen.

Episode 2 of The Shattered Stars, an episodic science fiction series influenced by "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and "Firefly."

Blurbs for The Shattered Stars: 

“A fun, punchy space opera with heart and tenderness. I recommend this to anyone who loves Star Trek and Doctor Who. I had a lot of fun with the crew on their expedition and look forward to more of their adventures!”

—Rios de la Luz, author of "Itza"

“Really great. Fun settings, unique characters, developed worlds and mythologies. Somehow The Shattered Stars is actually better than any of the series that inspired it, blending a nostalgic homage to sci fi TV with a uniquely modern edge.”

—Jay Slayton-Joslin, author of “Sequelland”

"KE Wolfe is the pseudonym for a collaboration between Kyle Muntz and e rathke. Both authors are heavy hitters in their own right, but they come together like Goku and Vegeta in this episodic science fiction series. Their voices are seamless and the prose really sings."

—Grant Wamack, author of "God's Leftovers"
