Description

CRASHING IS THE EASY PART
BOOK ONE OF THREE

It's been more than a century since humanity escaped the overpopulation of Earth, expanding out among the stars. We've faced and overcome war with an alien race. We've survived terrorist attacks meant to end colonization. We've thrived despite unregulated class distinctions, separating the wealthy from the working class.

What comes next may be the end of it all.

A lone colony of human castaways, led by a former alien enemy, find themselves at the mercy of a saboteur and a plot to end humanity's unrestricted travel among the stars. This could be the finale of the colonies and the end of a species. Everything depends on how smart - and how forgiving - humanity can actually be.

"This series is like LOST meets Andy Weir's 'The Martian.' Funny. Action packed. Full of mystery and packed with characters you love from page one."Praise for Citadel: First Colony

"There was something so fascinating about this story and the cast of characters he put together."
- Leah Petersen, Author of "Fighting Gravity" "

This well written science fiction story will capture your interest on page one and won't let go until you finish. The characters are mysterious, fascinating, and likable.
- James Chalk, Author of "Meat Market"

"Tumlinson managed to inject quirkiness and humor that was both unexpected and gave the characters even more depth."
- JoAnn Takasaki, Author of "Luau Like a Local: The Easy Way"

    This book was very enjoyable and easy to follow along with, yet still be entertained. You are set in a vague future and are instantly crashing down into unknown territory with very poetic characters. There's so much mystery as the new colony tries to adjust to their crash landing, and the crew that flew them to safety desperately tries to figure out exactly what took place, and their place on this new world.
