The Arrival

This is a short prequel that does a good job of introducing Evaran and his advanced tech and capability of faster-than-light travel and space-time disruption. He has a code of ethics and lends his services to those in need. He is searching for something that isn’t quite defined, but I’m sure more of his story and drive comes through in the Evaran Chronicles. In all, an easy-to-read story that was interesting. Free ARC from author mailing list.

4 of 5 stars. From the Publisher:

Jake Melkins is a few months away from turning twenty-one. By the Seceltor Empire's laws, he will have to go to a breeding camp, or directly into slavery. Neither choice appeals to him. All this changes with the arrival of a space-and-time-traveling being known as Evaran at the space station turned rest stop that Jake lives on. To make things complicated, Greecho, the slaver who abducted Jake as a kid, has arrived at the station. He and his crew, along with his twenty-two-year-old human pet, Kathy, are about to go on a slave run to Earth. Evaran has decided to interfere and free Jake and Kathy. That decision will lead him to Earth, where he will need to deal with the consequences.
