    About this ebook

    Action! Adventure! Uncivil War!

    Troubled times had come to the small Terran Colony planet of Deanna and having amusing names for its sun (Ramalama) and two moons (Ding and Dong) hadn't made this quaint little world immune to bad things

    After the shock assassination of a visiting member of the imperial family, and with the three largest cities on Deanna overrun by fascist troops, the local government goes into hiding. With the media and interweb firmly under revolutionary control, perception and reality begin to take a turn for the surreal - and once the enemy have control of Deanna, the stage is set. War is on its way.

    The quirky little colony of Deanna is about to be enveloped in a destructive conflict - replete with a supporting cast of heroes, villains, aliens, victims, perpetrators, volunteers, vampires, space battles, bovine torpedoes - and a little time travel on the side.

    "High Steaks" is the sixth title in the Quantum Series by Christina Engela.

    "Everything that makes up the good parts of these stories has been painstakingly crafted into this one. Its quick paced in moments with a sense of an ensemble cast all working together to fight for one another making it probably the most epic story in the series. 5 Stars Fun and powerful." - Lee Hall, UK writer & reviewer.

    "Engelas latest work is packed with humour, challenging ideas, and science-fiction on a grand scale. It transports readers to a truly original world, filled with bizarre and memorable characters. It tackles social issues while reading like a Terry Pratchett, with some western and sci-fi elements to boot." Matthew 'Sand-Storm' Fick.

    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
