Description

"I'd recommend Debris Dreams to those who loved Ender's Game. Drusilla Zhao's character was a complete win for me and she was far more endearing than Andrew Wiggin. I also liked the bits of Mandarin and the addition of aspects of Chinese-American culture. All in all, it was a fun and adventure-filled read."
- Queer Sci Fi

Sixteen-year-old Drusilla Zhao lives in the Hub, a space station used by the Chinese-American Alliance as a base to exploit Luna's resources. Desperate to break free of the Alliance, a terrorist group from the Moon destroys the space elevator, space's highway to Earth. In a flash, Dru's parents are dead and she is cut off from her girlfriend Sarah on Earth.

Appealingly reminiscent of an updated Heinlein juvenile... Drusilla, a girl raised on a space station, lives in a in a time where the crowded Earth must mine resources from asteroids and the moon. When the moon secedes from Earth with an act of violent terrorism to an elevator rising into the stratosphere, Drusilla loses her parents and is conscripted into the oncoming war.

David Colby

David Colby was born and grew up in a household and family so nice and wonderful that his early life was completely and utterly bereft of interesting drama beyond a single incident in high school when he slipped on some grass and damaged a very valuable sousaphone while trying to please his marching band instructor. To correct this, he took up writing and kept writing until he got halfway decent at it. Currently laboring on works spanning science fiction, fantasy and all the bizarre fusions in between, David is publishing novels and short stories through Thinking Ink Press and Fiction Silicon Valley.
