Greetings Travellers!

Thank you for checking out The Big Black. I have been working on this for a long time and thought after reading about the Nerdist Space Opera competition I would finally jump into the darkness and see if anyone would be interested in the story, which is very much a Space Opera.

SYNOPSIS

We have conquered the stars and a large part of the galaxy is colonised. Civil war is beginning. Something is coming from beyond the fringes of known space. A woman hunts her families killers after a decade on the crew of a notorious ship. Colonists in the hundreds of thousands are vanishing in the frontier where a secret war is ongoing and a plague is spreading throughout the systems that turns all infected into flesh eating psychopaths. All are connected.

ABOUT THE STORY

Born after the end of Battlestar Galactica and love of history. I wanted more space battles and Adama! So I made up my own over the years. Probably best explained as A Song of Ice and Fire meets Treasure Island in space directed by John Carpenter.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

From Glasgow. Father. Husband. Passion for writing grew from being a freelance music journalist. Tea total by day and night, work with homeless children. Have 2 rescue Greyhounds, non meat eater and lover of all genre films and my PS4. Hoping to allow you to get utterly lost in the grand world of The Big Black which I will be working on this year in my spare time.
