THE
RE-EMERGENCE
AN AUGMENT SAGA NOVELLA
’IT WAS JUST A MYTH. JUST A DAMN LEGEND PASSED DOWN FROM CORRUPTED DATABANKS…’
A mysterious probe from a long-forgotten satellite network appears in the heart of the Maldaccian Empire, warning about the return of a mythological evil.
After being downloaded by the plucky but inexperienced crew of the imperial flagship, the consciousness of the ancient satellite, Unit-17, embarks on a galactic adventure to bring the empire back from the brink of an interstellar war they are not equipped to fight.
The Qesh’kal’s aging commander, Da’kora Corasar, trusts Unit-17’s intel implicitly, but not everyone aboard agrees. Tensions rise and loyalties are tested as they are thrust into conflict with an enemy of unimaginable power and malice.
A finalist in the first annual Speculative Fiction Indie Novella Championship (SFINCS)!
Reviews for The Re-Emergence
★★★★★
“Anyone can write sci-fi. Not everyone can write good sci-fi. Alan didn’t write a good sci-fi story. He wrote a great work of sci-fi art. Dell’s world-building talent really makes everything come to life. The attention to detail that Dell used to create this world is something comparable to Star Wars, Star Trek and other sci-fi epics.”
— Robert Vaughn Reviews

“While a quick read, The Re-Emergence is a wonderful backstory to the future Augment Saga, which I am desperate to read. Not only was it fascinating, but so well contrived that I wouldn’t hesitate to see a movie adaptation of this novella if the chance arose. I highly recommend that you read this novel, especially if you are a fan of science fiction. The Re-Emergence is truly extraordinary.”

“Being taken along the journey of the crew of the Qesh’kal across the galaxy into mystery and peril was enough for me to consume the entire Novella in one sitting, and that says a lot for me personally. Anyone who enjoys sci-fi novels should pick this up and give it a read.”

“Dell’s novella is a sci-fi made by, and for, sci-fi geeks—and since I am one of those, I loved that aspect. It’s specifically space opera, and it’s got a feel somewhere between ‘Star Trek’ and ‘Battlestar Galactica.’”
