6015 is an Agent of the universe, designed to protect humanity from all manner of cosmic threats. Regisned to a life in the shadows 6015 has endured the last 20 years stuck on Eora, a planet of outcasts and scoundrels. Nothing cosmic has gone wrong, not so much as a cosmic storm, but now strange readings lead him to a teacup containing a wormhole. And not just any wormhole: this is a Vespervore, a planet-eating force never before conquered.
As 6015 sets out on his mission to save Eora from planetary death, he must grapple with being cut off from the organisation that made him: Homestead, and the secrets it’s hiding. Confronted by shadows from his past, 6015 needs to decide who he can trust in his quest to save the world and uncover the truth, and his failing memory is hardly helping matters.

Meet my MCs:
you have the ability to construct a somewhat understated narrative voice that contains a high degree of emotionality but is presented in a subdued, occasionally dispassionate way. It certainly makes for an enjoyable read!
