Death, hubris, and the unfathomable dread of outer space. Welcome to the twisted worlds of Bloody Colony.

Our journey will reach out to the most distant and unforgiving outer colony worlds, but first, the bloodied trail of egotism and treachery begins close to home. Book 1 features six tales of terrible decisions, impossible bargains, and unexpected turns.

Humanity establishes the first sustainable space colonies, but as with most human endeavours, we disguise our flaws thinly, and technology is no shield against ignorance. Book 2 comprises three novellas of egoism, unchained vanity, and grotesque horror.

When madness and death envelope the construction crew of Priam station in “Bloodshot”, engineer Dahlia Alexander uncovers a deadly conspiracy.

In “Phobos Dawn”, the unearthing of an ancient door on the largest moon of Mars leads to a dangerous race for the greatest prize in the universe.

But that’s not the end of the revelations. When a new generation of Cassandrians seek to re-establish contact with twin colony Helenus, what lies “Beyond the Barycentre” is more dangerous and savage than anything they could have ever imagined.

With powerful imagery and shocking twists at every turn, Bloody Colony is a must-read for fans of sci-fi horror. If you enjoy “Black Mirror”, “The Expanse”, or “The Twilight Zone”, you’ll love the unexpected tales of Bloody Colony. Be prepared to enter a universe of fear that will haunt you long after you turn the last page.

TRIVIA

The fictional space station, Priam, is located at the Earth-Moon Lagrange point five. The Vigil mission spacecraft, operated by the European Space Agency, is currently monitoring space weather at Lagrange point five. Lagrange points provide cosy homes for many space missions, including the James Webb Space Telescope, which is at Lagrange point two.

QUOTES

Legatus Ska-Gat-Arn: “These humans riot like rutting vermin on the first day of spring, seeking only to spread, consume and destroy. They have no fidelity; capable of treachery even when it will undoubtably result in the extinction of millions of their own kind. Cutting them down is a mercy to the universe.”

GOOFS

In the story “Phobos Dawn”, Lita secures a transit pod to the surface of the moon to prevent it from floating away. However, although the gravity on Phobos is very weak, the pod would not just float away.

This chilling Sci-Fi book series reveals the consequences of unbridled human expansion through twenty harrowing tales spanning three centuries and thirty light-years.

From brutal alien encounters to impossible choices, these stories take you on a journey through the darkest corners of human nature and out into the savagery of the unknown.

But be warned — the worlds of Bloody Colony are a labyrinth of horror, and once you enter, the nerve-racking sounds and terrifying sights will trap you forever.

Issac Grey Lambert is optimistic about the future, and fiction allows us to think through the ramifications of our collective actions before we get there.

Issac is a writer, musician, and artist. He is the author of the Bloody Colony book series, blending visions of the future of human colonisation with tales of hubris, greed, and arrogance. Issac's latest release, "The Porch Pirate Killer" is now available.

His executive editor, a local cat who drops by to supervise his writing efforts, is almost certainly using mind control to ensure a steady supply of fishy treats.

Issac's books are available exclusively on Amazon Books.
