First released into the wild in October 2014, it merges space opera SciFi with alternate history, set in near-contemporary times. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00OL5SNI6\">Now available in the Kindle store<\/a>.\n\n\n<blockquote><strong>Synopsis:<\/strong>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-803\" style=\"margin-right: 15px; margin-top: 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nuttyfanboy.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/tots1_grievingsuns.png\" alt=\"Tears of the Stars - Grieving Suns Cover\" width=\"180\" height=\"270\" \/>Marcus Eriksson is generally considered a bright boy - with one problem: He is not a people person. His choices led to him being put into a rehabilitation program, until one day he is approached and offered a clean slate, alongside a job offer that sounds like science fiction come true.\n\nElsewhere, a young Reiko Yoshida, entangled in the midst of a secret fleet only few on Earth know about, chooses to follow the very footsteps her mother had laid out almost two decades earlier.\n\nSoon, by skill and sheer audacity they find themselves paired up, training to become Blue Lions - the very heart of Earths fledgling fleet. Both quickly learn that the galaxy is a bigger and far more dangerous place than either of them had imagined - a galaxy in a state of cold war which could turn hot quickly.\n\nThe pieces are set, the players ready - until during a training flight the disparate pair discovers something that upsets the very foundation of the fleet...<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n<h2>Foundations of Hope<\/h2>\n\n\nThe sequel to <em>Grieving Suns<\/em> continues the tale of Marcus and Reiko, and the Blue Lions. It is currently being penned by yours truly, and if all goes well, you will be able to read the exciting next chapter of Tears of the Stars in 2016.
