Beyond Event Horizon
ISBN-9780998661902
​
The ship Bethlem looms at the edge of the very last unexplored frontier. A group of Potemkixians prepare themselves to represent the apex of the universe through the conquering of this black monster. But a series of mysterious messages call for revolution on their planet Potemkix – the zenith of efficiency and cohesion – which stands upon the fringes of civil and political upheaval. The crew aboard Bethlem faces the same suppression, and as time continues on, one crewman, Potemkin, sees striking reflection between ship and planet. Even more, he is tugged between duty and self right, to remain or go beyond. As contention rises upon both ends, the revolution on Potemkix is thwarted by the execution on the rebellious messenger, but catalyzes action aboard the ship. At last, Potemkin discovers his identity through riot and loss within to contend with the mutiny on Bethlem. Will he become their leader and go beyond the event horizon, or lurk at the brink, either way himself.

Ellie agrees to marry the younger Verney son, Titus, for the sake of the joy of George's last days though she has already secretly committed to marry a wealthy young man entrusted with both her and the Verney finances, Dallington. Elder brother, Simonds Verney, by all accounts a monster for his uncompromising and domineering nature, returns to escort Titus to a new military position. Upon departure, Dallington discovers treachery afoot, chasing after Titus to warn him of danger, leaving Ellie alone and pregnant. Simonds returns, informing Ellie she lost both her false fiancé to death and true fiancé to the murder of the former. She endures his brutal indifference and slowly discovers herself through the difficulties, and the definition of monster is based upon perception and not reality.
