Atalan (Adventure Pack)

R. M. Hamrick

The Atalan series has been described as “what Douglas Adams would have envisioned if he were a Millennial.” This sci-fi comedy-adventure takes place in a universe of opportunities where Captain Frankie and the crew of the Atalanta Empress are coming up empty. They’ve lost their jobs, crash-landed, and possibly unleashed an invasive rodent species onto the land. Now what was once a courier ship delivering tea towels must fight perpetually pregnant animals, escape transdimensional quagmires, and attempt daring heists. Will the crew make their ship’s lease payment and save the world? Probably not without endangering many lives and many other worlds in the process. The first three wacky space opera novellas follow the tired captain whose true colors literally show, an Earth widow augmented to carry heavy things, an unruly, maned second-in-command, and two triplets with freaky mind powers. The story continues on in books four, five, and six as well.

R. M. Hamrick also is the author of the Chasing series, which includes a short prequel and three full-length novels. Chasing a Cure was her first novel, and on the surface, it is a book about zombies. But Hamrick delves deeper to explore grieving and letting go when there’s still a chance to save a loved one.

An avid runner, she also writes the blog “Run Away From Zombies.”
