Exiled On Unium: An Introduction
By
James Michael Moody
Just got off the phone with the folks at Liferich Publishing. I paid shipping & handling for six copies of my newly published Sci-Fi adventure, Exiled On Unium, which was included in my publishing package. I then proceeded to order 100 additional copies for book signings.

The following is the first proposed cover for Exiled On Unium as presented by Liferich book cover makers. As you can see it has no visual connection to the first cover, so I was concerned that the reader would not visually connect the two together as series components.

The following representation is more what I was searching for. This version resembles Pioneers On Unium and is easily visually connected to the first book. That is exactly what you want in a series in my opinion. Was I right, or was I wrong?
Exiled On Unium
Book two of the Unium series, Exiled On Unium, takes up where book one, Pioneers On Unium, leaves off. Greg Vancover, the series' lead character, has been found guilty of the forceable rape of Sally Swift, the fort’s nurse. After a failed hanging attempt, the young hunter’s death sentence was reduced to life banishment from Fort America, the name given to their new settlement. If the excommunicated criminal was caught within a day's march of the young town, he was to be killed upon where he was found.

Thanks to past service, the town council voted to provide the outcast with a light bark canoe, food provisions, and weapons. Saying farewell to his closest friends, the exiled earthman paddled downstream through the grassy savanna into the shadowy forest miles away. Continuing his way down the ever-broadening river, the cautious canoeist made his way to a locality no human had gone to before.

Because of the high and dangerous waters, the boater decided to camp where he was and continue the journey home tomorrow. The bigfoot upon learning of his partner’s death, was no longer traveling in urgency. Needing a break from days of strenuous hiking, the ape-like forest man decided to sleep over also. Safety lay in numbers, and it was good for both travelers.

The earthman later learned the two beast men were on a mission to scale, what they called “The Great Cliffs,” in search of a race comparable to their own. Since the glass slick cliff walls were unclimbable, the voyagers intended to ascend by a gargantuan tree named Ri-ga. The woody giant grew up the cliff walls and extended miles above. The intrigued boater asked the prehistoric troglodyte if he knew of any beings that resembled him.

"None that lived below Ri-ga," but ancient tales hinted of the possibility above The Great Cliffs. After a sleepless night of apprehensive thinking, the distraught human decided to join the anthropoid in the ascension of the humongous woody plant. This was not an easy decision to make, for there was a possibility the desperate youth may never get the opportunity to return. He was putting everything on the line, for this one long-shot attempt to discover humankind.

Greg and Mon-ta, the beast man’s name, exited their lake location the following morning. The unlikely pair traveled inland for days before coming upon The Great Cliffs, and Ri-ga the gargantuan tree which towered even higher. Facing much hardship and ferocious wildlife, the two scrambled up the wet base of Ri-ga. Once, they were trailed by a group of hunting snake men, called Sinlu. The slithering constrictors did not give up the pursuit and followed the fleers into the drier mid-section.

While dodging the deadly reptiles, the excursionist came across a long-tailed monkey man. The treed anthropoid was frantically fending off a ruthless panther-like cat with a wooden cudgel. The passersby came to the hairy primate’s liberation. In appreciation, the simian took the wayfarers to his village for rest and lodging. The outsiders spent several days at the primitive settlement hunting and socializing.
X-tung |
During that visit, X-tung the monkey man convinced the visiting star child to teach his village defenders how to fabricate spears, bows, and arrows to combat the ever-pressuring snake men. The human was glad to help his new friends. He went days tutoring them in the use of the alien-designed weapons.
X-tung's Village |
The village guest got to witness one of the ancient customs of these unsophisticated tree folk. A tournament of love. The two helplessly watched as their primordial companion, X-tung, fought for and won his soul mate in a tournament designed around combative skills.
Le-on |
After the ceremony was completed, it was time for the two wayfarers to once again continue the climb up Ri-ga. Leaving the safety of X-tung's community, the pair followed home returning contestants of the tournament upwards to their respective villages.
