The Grand Veeshali

$16.99

A public assassination puts a bounty on Leilani's head . . . and another mystery in her lap.

Leilani Falconi is no longer an IIS agent; in fact, no one is. With the Imperial Investigative Service disbanded, and an entire system after her for the murder of Admiral Jason Dorthy, Leilani evades detection with her inherent smarts and skill. But there's an ever-present gnawing at the back of her mind: she's missing something, something big. Apparently, so are the known galaxies. When she returns to her roots at ELU, identities unravel-no one is who they appear to be, even herself. To make matters worse, unfolding historical timelines point to a complicated mystery still shaping present-day conflicts. Lei knows the power-grab that started the puzzle is far from over. What was hidden must be found-by her first, if she wants to keep a powerful technological revolution from falling into the wrong hands, and preserve the galaxy from spiraling into oblivion. The mystery and wit in Wendi Coffman-Porter's second book of the Eldrilin Chronicles, The Grand Veeshali, will have readers on their toes as this sci-fi crime bridges the line between fantasy, technology, and reality.

AUTHOR BIO

Wendi Coffman-Porter grew up an only child in a military family. She spent a lot of time as a child inventing new friends and sharing them with others. She began writing her stories down at the age of ten, and by the time her first child was born, she'd written her first novel. Her passion has always been the colorful canvas and creative freedom of fantasy and sci-fi. Wendi is always developing something new and colorful to share with others, whether she is role-playing or writing in her office at home in Texas in the middle of her pack of furry friends. Her fervor for incredibly rich realities that are as authentic as the ones outside your own window is what drives her to constantly find out what's happening around the next corner. She strives for a deep, new understanding of the nature of life, no matter what form that life might take. Wendi lives with her family in Copper Canyon, Texas.

PRAISE

"Agent Leilani Falconi . . . always finds a way . . . usually with a touch of sarcastic wit, the right amount of disregard for authority, and the willingness to complete the mission at great personal sacrifice . . . No character is simply who, or what, they appear to be at first glance, and the human condition is woven into each character, allowing both he good and bad personality traits to add to the complexity of the story . . . Her reality aperture is widened to a massive extent as she discovers secrets kept from all but a select few in both universes . . . From one impossible situation to another, she and her team outpace and outwit antagonist after antagonist in a race to preserve the known galaxy."— Marley, USN - Master Chief (ret) Explosive Ordnance Disposal

"Perception is reality. [Coffman-Porter's] attention to detail makes the characters believable and the story line captivating. [The Grand Veeshali] is a great way to step out of your own 'reality' and get lost in someone else's. #asrealasitgets."—Justin Davis, Consolidated Training Group
