Starting Sunday 19 January, the current incarnation of Amazing Stories will be running an excerpt of Chuck Rothman‘s Staroamer’s Fate (published by Ian Randal Strock’s Fantastic Books). In conjunction with the excerpt, Amazing and Fantastic Books will be giving away a couple of copies of the complete book: one for US readers, and one for readers from other countries.

According to Amazing‘s publisher Steve Davidson, “In order to enter the giveaway, readers will have to leave a comment related to the excerpt/the author/the series/the publisher, between Sunday the 19th and Saturday the 25th of January. The winners will be randomly drawn from the commenters. (In order to leave a comment you must be a registered user of amazing stories.)”

Staroamer’s Fate tells the story of Quarnian Dow, a syron, driven by her intuition, anticipating the future and acting without knowing why—just that she has to. Often, she’s a hero. Sometimes, she’s a thief. Her talent takes her from planet to planet, buffeted by fate and never knowing what it will force her to do.

And now, her intuition is leading her to the legendary Staroamer, a generation ship that vanished centuries ago. But the Staroamer has secrets in its vast dark chambers, and they may be dangers that even a Syron’s abilities can’t overcome.
