    About this ebook

    Cindy-Mei Winter had until recently been 'Agent' Winter, C.I.A. - that's Colonial Intelligence Agency - and one of their best agents... that is, until they threw her out for coming to work in a dress.

    After that disappointing and sudden end to what had been a promising career, Mei rewarded herself with a long relaxing vacation in the outback to celebrate her gender reassignment and her new start in life. The first stop on her journey turned out to be a little backwater planet called Deanna...

    As a third-rate colony in the Terran Empire, Deanna had more than its fair share of dull moments... Dull - but also definitely weird... Deanna orbited a star called Ramalama - and if you think that's funny, Deannas two moons were called Ding and Dong, respectively. (This was a local joke.)

    Then the unexpected happened: A single Ruminarii Hammerhead - the first seen by Humans in over eighty years, arrived to invade the small backwater Terran colony!

    As bombs fell on Atro City - and while the ordinary folk of Atro City hurried meet the aliens when they landed and grabbed anything remotely resembling a weapon on the way out the door - Cindy-Mei found herself in exactly the right place at the right time... but what should she do? She'd hoped to put her violent and somehow depressing past behind her, but now it seemed her new beginning (and her holiday) were going to have to wait! The Gimp were back, and this was no time to be a sissy! She faced seemingly insurmountable odds in the midst of panic, hysteria - falling sherry - and people hiding under furniture! What would she do?

    Thankfully, with the assistance of an alien walking, talking plant called Fred, a local bounty hunter called Beck the Badfeller - and the Skeggs Valley Dynamite Fishing Club, she wouldn't have to find out alone!

    "'Black Sunrise' by Christina Engela: in the introduction of the 'Quantum series' - a group of fantastic books that are not only space science fiction but carry a positive message while also being fun to read. If you like Pratchett, you'll love these!" - Lee Hall, UK writer & reviewer.

    Christina Engela

    "Christina Engela is a South African editor and author of horror, fantasy and science fiction novels. Her books are never short of suspense, adventure and humor, while her colorful characters and thought-provoking settings take readers into another world, making her one of the most gifted and creative storytellers. A firm supporter of the LGBT community, Christina believes that Sexual and Gender Minority characters aren’t reflected enough by authors due to a number of reasons. As such, Christina's writing isn’t stereotypical, and her characters aren’t stereotypes, regardless of their sexuality or gender." - Booksradar.com, June 21, 2021.You can find out more on ChristinaEngela.com
