Ripped from Earth by a horrifying translocation accident, Eliana Fisk finds herself stranded on a strange planet whose denizens want her as a human sacrifice. Meanwhile, her inventor husband, Amon, whose revolutionary but controversial machine is responsible for launching Eliana into the great unknown, desperately scours the stars to find his wife and rescue her from this terrifying alien threat. Can Eliana survive on a hostile world long enough for Amon to find her? She’ll have to win over its ancient inhabitants—and their barbaric, controlling gods. But that won’t be easy on a planet that values blood and violence over technology and space travel. M. G. Herron’s novel, The Auriga Project, is a gripping juxtaposition of cultures and creatures in the tradition of sci-fi classics. It’s also an intergalactic race against the clock that follows one Earthling’s desperate fight for survival and another’s tireless quest to bring her home alive.
