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.

Join Inspector Burr Lagerfelt as he investigates the death of Professor Pip Briar in “Buried Dogs Don’t Bark”, a seemingly simple suicide case with a sting in the tail. Or accompany the crew of the “Mars Home” mission as they prepare to establish humankind’s first space colony, unaware of a foreboding anomaly.

In “Dinner at the Roosevelt”, agents Castleton and Indigo receive a message from the future that will change their lives forever. And in “Rite of Emnity”, the advanced artificial intelligence Sammeta strikes a terrifying deal to save the world from climate disaster.

But the tension doesn’t end there. In “Rivers of Oxia Palus”, Mars colonists Carina Novosta and Hideki Mishima must race against time to uncover the truth behind their mission commander’s death. While, in “Random Vector”, an accident throws the VIP colony ship Dardanus off course, decimating its crew, and leaving no one to serve the vol-au-vents.

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.

"I want to make a bargain."

He is the inspiration for Professor Pip Briar, a notable character in the Bloody Colony series of books.

QUOTES

Carina Novosta: “I am convinced no one is born inherently evil. They become so through the decisions they make, or the decisions made for them.”

CONNECTIONS

The POW products featured in the book are imagined by the writer. However, NASA is experimenting with technologies to recycle human waste into usable resources, including water and fuel for long-distance space travel.

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.
