Reflected

Alternate cover edition for ASIN: B00BWT4WCU

A dead woman witnesses an alien invasion on Mars in a bizarre afterlife.

Jennifer Reed finds herself in a post-death installation where she is encouraged to “go through.” Unaware of the installation’s purpose, she escapes – just as the world is invaded. With no knowledge of what is happening or why, she connects with a rebel who recognises her as Miranda, a past-life incarnation guilty of betrayal. While her dream-like perceptions increase, her comprehension remains zero. Is she doomed to repeat the imprisonment of the reincarnation cycle?

Extract: “No one dies. Haven’t you figured that out yet?”
She touched her face. Was it still Thursday? “I thought I was old,” she said.
“You were old when your body died.”
“Isn’t this my body?”

The Exodus Sequence: Each novelette in the Exodus Sequence is a standalone story. They don’t have to be read in order. They are not in any way connected like chapters in a book. They vary in style and character, time and place. However, the mystery unfolds as the sequence progresses, hence the numbering. To follow this unfolding, the sequence is best read in order.

A novelette is, by definition, longer than a short story but not as long as a novella.
