    About this ebook

    Human space explorers have just discovered a new alien species called the Naranebs. Jason Carter is among the members of the second exploratory team sent to learn more about their culture. Soon after he arrives, he encounters a young alien boy named Daneb, who shows him that Humans are like the ground, but the Naranebs are like the sky.

    Mike Kenny

    My name is Mike Kenny and I've been publishing fiction anonymously online for 15 years. Now I've finally decided to try to turn it into an actual career. I write fantasy, science-fiction, and horror, and I am in the process of getting some of my work posted here on Smashwords and on other writing sites. Here you can find my debut novel, The Snow Wolf's Daughter. I also have some short fiction that you can read for free. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy my work.
