Author Michael J. Martinez started his writing career as a
journalist. After nearly 20 years telling other people’s stories, he decided to
concentrate on creating his own. It was nine months of re-writes and
submissions to the Nelson Literary Agency, working to put The Daedalus
Incident in tip top shape before his agent offered him representation. The
Daedalus Incident is Michael’s debut work of science fiction. When Michael
isn’t hammering away at his latest work, he spends his time with his family,
and home-brewing. And we don’t mean coffee. The staff is secretly hoping he
will bring a flask, or a jug.

Mars is supposed to be dead...
Bizarre quakes are rumbling over the long-dormant tectonic plates of the planet, disrupting its trillion-dollar mining operations and driving scientists past the edges of theory and reason. However, when rocks shake off their ancient dust and begin to roll--seemingly of their own volition--carving canals as they converge to form a towering structure amid the ruddy terrain, Lt. Jain and her JSC team realize that their routine geological survey of a Martian cave system is anything but. The only clues they have stem from the emissions of a mysterious blue radiation, and a 300-year-old journal that is writing itself.
Lt. Thomas Weatherby of His Majesty's Royal Navy is an honest 18th-century man of modest beginnings, doing his part for King and Country aboard the HMS Daedalus, a frigate sailing the high seas between continents...and the immense Void between the Known Worlds.
With the aid of his fierce captain, a drug-addled alchemist, and a servant girl witha remarkable past, Weatherby must track a great and powerful mystic, who has
embarked upon a sinister quest to upset the balance of the planets--the consequences of which may reach far beyond the Solar System, threatening the veryfabric of space itself.
