Problems in Annady's Core

by Sandy Lender

With genetically engineered space spiders creeping around the ship, Khiry and crew should be thankful to disembark at the planet Annady. But there's more than a natural disaster threatening the terraformers here. Distasteful as it may be, the 17-year-old spaceship captain must work with a variety of personality types if she's gonna solve the Problems in Annady's Core. Khiry Okerson has piloted cargo ships among the planets for two years but wears the mantle of captain with less assurance than she thinks the post requires. Little does she know what the tensions on Annady will demand of her entire skill set. In Book 3 of the Dragons in Space science fiction adventure series, the Coronado crew battles interstellar colonization issues beyond The Debris Panel. Khiry’s heart and morals take a beating on this one, but she’s not giving up on the people—or the new dragons—who matter.

About the author

After her reincarnation from a Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtle to a simple human female, Sandy Lender figured she had to do something that let her stay near the ocean or Gulf waters. Being in a sunny environment keeps the vampires on a tight leash, too. So Sandy lives in SW Florida where she edits a magazine for the day job, edits books for the evening job, and helps with sea turtle conservation on the weekends. She lets the companion parrots and the muse fight for her attention in between it all.

Her first novel from ArcheBooks Publishing, Choices Meant for Gods, was released March 2007. The novels, novellas, short stories, magazine pieces, and poetry have been ongoing ever since! Sandy has garnered a handful of technical writing awards, a handful of creative writing awards, some fancy nominations, and excellent stress-reducing meds over the years...
