This book has a special place in my heart. My first completed novel, Wally and the Dark Colony is a YA planetary adventure (leading to a space opera) about a young boy who walks on walls.
A seeder colonist brought from Earth as zygotes, Wally helps the other seeder orphans by stealing food from the rich colonists. But then gigantic aliens land on his young colony world, along with an ambassador from Earth determined to negotiate with them. As the diplomatic chaos unfolds, Wally and his friends discover a secret at the heart of his world — a plan to make them a Dark Colony, cut off from Earth. If that happens, Wally and the orphans are doomed. If the aliens go to war then all humanity suffers. Wally needs to sneak, jump, and think his way through all of this, when all he wanted was three meals a day.
Wally and the Dark Colony is Oliver Twist in space, with a side helping of Spider-Man versus Godzilla. I hope everyone will love it as much as I do.
