Of Dog, Volpir and Man
(2023)(The first book in the Of Dog, Volpir and Man: An Out Of Cruel Space Adventure series)
A novel by Eric Wesson
A message from the stars offers humanity an escape from our harsh origins deep within a region known as "Cruel Space" by the rest of the galaxy. Earth's nations unite to construct the Dauntless—Earth's first interstellar craft. Its mission: to journey to the world of Centris and establish formal contact with the enigmatic Galactic Council. Unsure of what to expect from the wider galaxy, each crewman was trained to be a peerless warrior, armed to the teeth and ready to fight for all humanity.
However, what they encounter was far from their expectations. Instead of monstrous beings, they find a galaxy dominated by... Women. Humanity's nearly equal ratio of male to female births is an anomaly. In a society where females far outnumber males, opportunities abound, from unimaginable wealth, to incredible danger, on worlds where immortality is a lifestyle choice and love is available on a scale beyond human comprehension.
On this grand cosmic stage steps Jerry Bridger with a secret mission of his own—to transport a vital piece of Earth's legacy to the stars for the future of humanity. As he navigates through amorous pirates and perilous naval engagements, Jerry will fight like hell while forming bonds in the most unexpected of places, all to forge a future in the stars.
Of Dog, Volpir and Man; a story of spacefaring adventure, high technology and higher hemlines!
Early Reviews:
"I can't believe I'm on 3 hours of sleep in the last 48 hours because of this story."
- Paddydeen, Reader
"Oh are you done reading and ready to be a human again?"
- Paddy's Wife, Mildly Irate Spouse of Reader
"It's like Star Trek had a baby with an unpublished Tom Clancy scifi novel, then some mad man spliced in a harem romance from the mirror universe where everyone's a mature, sensible adult and actually trying to make a multi-member marriage work for the betterment and happiness of everyone involved. It's weird. I like it!"
