Forgotten Colony: Tau Ceti: An epic sci-fi story in an immersive fantasy world

Tau Ceti is the first entry in the Forgotten Colony series and an epic sci-fi story in an immersive fantasy world in the distant future. Kenzo Jaxson is the security that is charged with the excursion team in Sol-Rey, but when they find themselves on an isolated colony that has been abandoned for over a century, Kenzo knows something isn’t just right. But what is it? Tau Ceti Four is a world the team is set to explore, but what surprises does it have for them, and can Kenzo face this world unfolding before him with the darkness he carries within? In this spellbinding opening to a fantasy series, Rodzil LaBraun offers a wonderful blend of genres and worlds, where space opera mixes with fantasy in a tale that will fascinate readers in its exploration of an ancient culture built within the desert and the reality of medieval lifestyles.

Rodzil LaBraun’s novel is cleverly plotted and the world-building is wonderfully accomplished, offering readers a unique experience of adventure. The writing is original and confident and tropes of the genre will adore the author’s keen eye and descriptive prose. The characters are well-developed and readers will find the experience of following the inner turmoil in the protagonist an immersive one. The prose is atmospheric, conjuring a world that is well-imagined and superbly written. Tau Ceti is propelled by the sharp narrative voice and the setting that is at once beautifully imagined and strangely familiar, brimming over with elements that will startle and entertain readers. I couldn’t have put this book down until I turned the last page. While some readers won’t find the action pulsating, they will be ensnared by the fearlessly imagined world in which the story takes place.
