His Infernal Juggernaut: * A Pulp Fiction Space Opera *

For Starship Captain Marie Antoinette, escaping to the stars has become second nature, a fulfilling necessity--a means to control outcomes. Suddenly, though, everything Marie thought she wanted falls into question when her starship is savagely attacked and destroyed by an unsettlingly familiar cyborg.

Magnus de la Mare won't be deterred in his attempts to eradicate starship captain Marie from existence. Fleeing Magnus' henchmen, Marie and LUCY, a small odd-ball andromatron with dual personalities are forced on a perilous journey into the forgotten depths of the derelict juggernaut of Hout. Along with an outcast mech-imp named Quilp, Corvin, a raven avian-droid general, and the renegade Aramen mage called Nines, they navigate the treacherous interior.

Vicious battles, systems hacks, harrowing escapes, rescues and cypher gates guarded by ancient megalithic robots lead Marie to the mysterious source of the "dark code" and face to face with the resurrected monster from her past.

Through it all, Marie must learn how to overcome the past, come to terms with the child she carries and embrace the duty of her future. (If only she can keep her head).

His Infernal Juggernaut contains mild sexual situations, violence, intense robot wars, religion questioning, baby trouble and endless and unapologetic amounts of melodrama.

His Infernal Juggernaut is Torey Rain's debut novel. It is the first book in a dark, pulp fiction space opera series, Stories From Outer Space.
