Corrupted Race

The Horror is gone, and the terraforming efforts of Project RESTORE hid the scars it left behind. With Tynan and the last remnants of his empire vanquished, humanity has united. Raith is making yet another go at the simple life. He should be happy … but he’s not. His social standing, his power, and his serenity — they’re all gone too. Depressed and haunted day and night, Raith just wants peace.

But the galaxy won’t let him rest, as his past ghosts stir when an ancient, telepathic race invades Gaia, instantly enslaving the planet. Great power calls to Raith — dark secrets and forgotten technology — to fight an enemy that commands billions. That power is tempting, yet terrifying, but Raith knows all too well the unforeseen consequences of playing with fire.

Immune to their control, Raith quickly learns that the enemy is everywhere, spread throughout the galaxy. Fleeing into the unknown, determined to find solutions, Raith soon discovers that the answers aren’t to be found externally, but within. To save everyone, he must delve into his darkest secrets and remember how to be a monster … but at what cost to his humanity?

About Quill

Programmer by day. Writer by night. Creative all year round.

Quill Holland has previously published two short stories, The Last of Her Kind and What Mattered Most, and a novella, Forgotten Evil. He has now published Awakened Horror, his first novel and the sequel to Forgotten Evil!

Growing up, Quill could always be found with his nose in a book, or watching the latest science-fiction movie. As a result, he’s developed an imagination that never stops, and naturally, sci-fi and fantasy is largely the domain that Quill’s own work inhabits.

Whether it was typing code or writing fiction, Quill has been creating content for years; now as a recent creative writing graduate from the New Zealand Institute of Business Studies and a member of the New Zealand Society of Authors, Quill has taken the plunge by self-publishing his first works.

When he’s not debugging code or creating worlds, Quill likes to dabble in illustration and photography, as well as exploring the natural beauty of New Zealand with his partner.
