Product Description

SpaceStation Colt: Damnitio Exeum is the first novel of the True Love Trilogy - a genre-crossing story line that could pass as much for action and romance as it does its noticeably pointed focus in modern science fiction. Getting things started within the SpaceStation Colt series, this first book introduces the characters, the Epic Universe, and some initial interstellar conflict to gently acclimate a reader to the new experience. Major Marileva Dike stars in this story which finds the Space Force having its grip on the universe. For the most part, it had been a benevolent rule, but some would claim that malevolent underlyings exist. Yes, that was this universe. However, other factions rule their own universes with equally dominant hands. War between competing factions is normally inevitable, but some previously no-named/unseen factions were using the war as a means of achieving additional gains - not fully understood. The Major responds in kind by increasing her own physical and political power all the while solidifying her base of influence with a legendary three-dimensional strategy which makes for an intriguing eBook with universal implications.

From the Author

SpaceStation Colt: Damnitio Exeum is a story which starts off right after the actual story begins - if that makes sense. I took a myriad of different characters and introduced them in stride of a number of wild situations with the promise of each being fleshed out (in the sequel) should they manage to survive this initial ordeal. It is like a roller coaster, and as with the one called life, sometimes opportunities do not actually exist to just stop, get out, and analyze things when in the middle of the ride.

More About the Author

Edmund Alexander Sims is the Chief Executive Officer of and a Frequent Contributor for Dope Enterprises Infinity - a Buffalo Grove, Illinois-based company that creates, produces, markets, and distributes literary and music entertainment. He is responsible for the strategic direction of the company and leading its two subsidiaries: Dope Enterprises and Def Mute Records. Edmund joined Dope Enterprises Infinity in 2009.

When asked about writing, Edmund's first love, he often takes a modest tact in describing himself as merely a scribe - just the hand which guides the pencil across the paper or the fingers that type the text into the word processor. Nothing more. All credit is really due to the characters because they are the ones who truly drive these stories. They are the ones who are responsible for navigating the most pressing of situations, sorting out varying degrees of conflict, and seeking some semblance of resolution. He cannot take the credit for this because, ultimately, their stories deserve to be told, and it is his duty (as an author) to honor them.

Prosaic cinematography and stream of consciousness are the literary tools that Edmund uses to create deeply immersing works which plunge readers completely into the middle of the action as well as the heads of the characters. With intricately woven story lines and a naturally diverse character set, he seeks to broaden the audience for reading while giving the bookworms a tantalizing new feast of refreshing literature. His bibliography includes the SpaceStation Colt and Domina series.

Edmund is a 1999 graduate of Michigan State University where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in General Business Administration.

Once I started reading SSC, I couldn't put it down! The vivid pictures and visuals put in your mind by Sims' stunningly detailed storytelling style kept me engaged and interested throughout this book. I can't wait for the second one!

The publisher calls this book "epic," and though it's an accurate description, while I was reading I kept wondering how a story which covers so much ground is able to bring it home on such a personal level.

To recap, the story involves a massive alien attack on present-day earth (though it's a parallel universe kind of thing, where it's our world just with advanced space travel technology), and how the government (here called Space Force) and a mysterious rogue mercenary named "Edmund" respond. Without giving too much away, I'll just say that there's fleets of spaceships, transforming cars, a teddy bear and a dude name "Sumo Joe" involved. Oh, and lots of action and dogfights.

There's so many characters introduced that at times I couldn't keep them straight, but the end result is a universe full of life that feels expansive and real. Backstories are hinted at, and the reader is teased with suggestions of past relationships, so I have a feeling we'll learn more about those in future installments.

There's also a soundtrack available for the book, which I downloaded from the website (it's only $5). It's all instrumental tracks that have a kind of smooth, electronic feel with strings, drums and bass. An interesting concept that definitely set the tone for some of the chapters.

To sum it up, Sims takes a fairly straightforward premise and weaves it into a compelling plot filled with believable characters, solid science, and plenty of twists and turns. He delivers a lively, memorable book filled with action and consequences. Definitely recommended.
