Purchase Scarlett's
Fire paperback or Kindle on Amazon.com!
Corley, a gigantic black octopus-squid-like sea monster from
the planet Corydon is angry that his 1000-year hibernation has been
interrupted. He is furious that aliens have invaded his home and that they are
melting the ice that covers his world. When he realizes that he is the last of
his species, it's too much for him. He propels himself through the frigid water
towards the surface looking for revenge. He goes too fast and accidentally
breaks through the surface ice of his ocean world. As he floats weightless in
the vacuum of space, and contemplates his death and the end of Corydon, he
suddenly hears a high-pitched voice. It's Scarlett, a three-inch red and white
banded shrimp, sent by the Intergalactic Zoological Preservation Society to
save him. She explains that she is a curator for the IZPS and that the
Corydonian Giant has been selected by the Great Creator to be preserved because
he is the last of his species. Corley's initial reaction is that he would
rather die than go with Scarlett to some planetary zoo, but she is convincing,
and he understands almost immediately that there is something special and
intriguing about the tiny creature. When Corley agrees to travel through space
with Scarlett, he has no idea that the adventure has just begun.
