How do you survive on a planet left to die? The planet of Virid has been left to decay after the Imperium's Crusades consumed the galaxy. Those that survived found themselves trapped in its ashen dunes, left forgotten as the galaxy put itself back together. Caught in the middle of this wreckage filled wasteland are John, his wife Kora, and their engineer Val, fighting to scavenge what could possibly be the last warp engine in the system. The only device that can help them leave the cursed planet behind. The problem? They're not the only survivors on Virid looking for the engine. While old grudges drive the old foes of Virid back to the brink of war, and with few supplies and fewer friends to go around, the trio find that their dream of escape might just cost them everything. Virid Is Dying is a gritty science fiction adventure filled with found family, romance, aliens and wrecked spaceships, that is perfect for readers who enjoy deep world building, intense action, and the effect that violence has on those who are not ready for it.
