Nexus makes a movie.

Nexus visits planet Pfaffen to make a movie, Hidden in Plain Sight, to popularize the new three-species alliance. He’d rather study the cloud-tree skylands.

But his job is technical consultant, liaison to the aliens.

All three species live on the Pfaffen skylands. But a croc spy base, and the reclusive testudo, remained hidden. Humans never knew.

Three problems. First, Nexus’s digital friends demand equal standing as sentient species. He isn’t worried about the robot mink. But his translator was the victor in Earth’s AI Wars.

Second, for the movie, aliens can’t act. Nexus has enough trouble briefing the human actors.

Third, the Pfaffen crocs work for the Hierophant – the shadow power of fortune-telling oracles who advise the croc emperors. As an oracle, Nexus could learn so much from the pros.

But the secretive Hierophant might control all crocs, via their symbiotes. Now it seeks to own Nexus, too.

Don’t miss the exciting conclusion to the Nexus and Thrive series!

Can fortune-telling prevent a war?

Nexus and friends expect to enjoy their studies in sumptuous luxury on planet Sihnon, with leisure and elbow room. A few domestic misadventures in housing, medicine, and chopsticks, and they’re ready for deluxe virtual reality learning.

First project, reassemble Space Academy from storage. Because with lifespans stretching centuries, the Colony Corps simply hires experienced crew.

Next, a juicy mystery to unravel. Humans first learned of advanced aliens while investigating what killed a colony world. Too late, they found a hazard buoy left to warn off others, housed in a history museum to introduce the guilty – the violent crocs.

At the time, they buried the news. Humanity was too fragile to confront an advanced race.

But now alien croc and testudo demand to join Nexus at the Academy. What better team to study the ancient facility?

They uncover a devastating secret, one that could unleash war between croc and testudo, with humans in the crossfire. Can Nexus master the Oracle in time to avert three-species war?

How can Nexus be the Oracle?

On a hardscrabble colony world, Nexus tracks a mysterious rat outbreak to a shy tortoise-like alien, who calls him Oracle.

If his addled visions amount to fortune-telling, Nexus can’t read the tea leaves. He foresees alien crocs ravaging Earth and enslaving humanity. Another vision depicts him happy in love.

How to evade human extinction and win the girl is unclear.

Word leaks that Nexus is the new heir to a powerful fortune, compounding his social challenges.

To save the human race, escape gold-diggers, repair his space mink, and win the woman of his dreams, Nexus must decode his visions…and talk to people.

For readers who love the quirky found-family spaceship of Firefly, or the gritty future of Murderbot. A must-read for fans of Booth’s Thrive series.

When Nexus catches the attention of the alien croc ambassador, his first space travel goes weirdly astray.

A backwoods Earth terraformer, young Nexus is awkward with people, good with creatures, at a time when the human worlds are bumping against the alien races who surround them.

He sets off to explore human space.

But to leave home, he must first repay a debt of honor, and smuggle a highly illegal sentient robot off-planet. Memory murky, the poor robot got stranded on Earth before Nexus was born.

Nexus is delighted when the alien ambassador boards his space train to Luna. Most fear the enigmatic crocs, but he’s fascinated. Then an explosion derails the train car.

But was the attack aimed at the aliens? Or his forgetful robot?

Join an upbeat civilian team on a hopepunk science fiction odyssey, with mystery, space trains, flying life support suits, and enigmatic aliens! Come for world-building and adventure, and stay for the characters. This fresh new series takes place 200 years into the future of Booth’s long-running Thrive series.
