Comilo: The Dire Day

The Uncharted Horizon Serial

by C. R. Buchanan

She was twelve when her brother chose the Suicide Fields. Nothing inside her survived the walk back.

On the dying world of Kep Four, twelve-year-old McKayla Mason sneaks aboard a stolen transport shuttle after her older brother leaves home acting unlike himself. What begins as childish curiosity leads her beyond the Najasa district and into the poisoned brown surrounding the Suicide Fields, where people disappear when life on Kep Four becomes unbearable.

Dire Days is an honest introduction to the WolfStar universe.

ATTACHMEN #2: Armada dossier (EPUB and MOBI). Armada records surrounding Cadet Mason’s unauthorized flight operation were never meant to leave Chimark Flight Command, but the dossier is clear: a stolen starfighter led to her imprisonment and set into motion events that would change humanity’s fate.

Before there was Dire Days.

Before the Niveous War.

Before Civil Unrest on another world.

And before the journey to Nimonowa.

There was McKayla Mason. She was a traitor. And she became a legend.

 

READ ONE OR BOTH!!! Comilo: The Dire Day is my favorite of the two. 😉

About the Author

C. R. Buchanan’s fascination with writing piqued in middle school, where he won his 1st writing contest for his story, “Attack of the killer croutons from a planet somewhere near Mars!” It was full of grammatical errors and misspellings, but the oddest, funniest, and most original story that year.

Later in life, he plunged himself headfirst into the world of writing and acting to become an author, pen multiple feature films, blossom into a novelist, and won Best Supporting Actor 2019 at The International Film Festival in Madrid, Spain. Now, he is penning the Sci-Fi/Fantasy blended WolfStar novel series.

His first two books, The Tower (filming in Thailand), and BINARY were his initial steppingstones that got his feet wet as a novelist. On another note: he’s also a seasoned script editor, story editor, former professional fighter, and a bit of a goofball.

C. R. Buchanan has a love for life and everything in it. From wildlife to plants and Mother Nature, though he has gotten injured a few times by getting too close to it, there is nothing about the outdoors he does not like. Between Florida, Virginia, Georgia, Alaska, California, Nevada, and everything in between, he has lived in and hiked some of the most beautiful and dangerous areas of the United States.

He currently lives in Alabama, where he takes care of his mother, visits family, and tends the land. Donkeys, dogs, cats, and even a pet squirrel or two highlight a life of deer, chipmunks, raccoons, and splitting logs to load their wood-burning stove for warmth in the winter. Far away from people and finding peace and tranquility in life to write is all he needs to be happy, besides love in his heart.

C. R. Buchanan is headfirst into writing every day and moment he has free, unless his mother’s chili recipe is thrown into the mix. It is at that moment he will get off his butt long enough to add a few inches to his belly. After that, a gym is in order.
