About the Book

Sometimes spaceships disappear with everyone on board – the Lost Ships. But sometimes they come back, strangely altered, derelict, and rumored to be full of horrors.

Opal is on a mission. She's been seeking something her whole life. Something she is willing to die for. And she thinks it might be on a Lost Ship.

Opal has stolen Clarissa, an experimental AI-controlled spaceship, from the military. Together they have tracked down a Lost Ship, in a lonely nebula far from colonized space.

The Lost Ship is falling into the gravity well of a neutron star, and will soon be truly lost … forever. Legends say the ships harbor death, but there's no time for indecision.

Opal gears up to board it. She's just one woman, entering an alien and lethal environment. But perhaps with the aid of Clarissa's intelligence – and an armored spacesuit – Opal may stand a chance.

About the Author

Karl Drinkwater is originally from Manchester but has lived in Wales for half his life. He's a full-time author, edits fiction for other writers, and was a professional librarian for over twenty-five years. He has degrees in English, Classics, and Information Science. He writes in multiple genres: his aim is always just to tell a good story. Among his books you'll find elements of literary and contemporary fiction, gritty urban, horror, suspense, paranormal, thriller, sci-fi, romance, social commentary, and more. The end result is interesting and authentic characters, clever and compelling plots, and believable worlds. When he isn't writing he loves exercise, guitars, computer and board games, the natural environment, animals, social justice, cake, and zombies. Not necessarily in that order.

Review

"Lost Solace," what can I say, " It's just that type of book that grabs your interest and takes you for a long ride." -Writer's Authority-

Lost Solace my have been, just about the best book I have read this year. Seeing that this is the 60th review I have provided to date, I can't stress this enough. "Lost Solace is an amazing book." I can not wait for the next installment in this series.

When I first starting reading, it started off kind of boring. Then you found out what opal was looking for, what's going on and why she is doing it. It just entraps you, once you have started reading the book.

I would recommend this book for anyone who loves a good Sci.-Di and Mystery & Thriller Book. It is one book you don't want to miss.
