I’m very pleased today to welcome the Cover Reveal for Nicholas W Fuller’s Stranded to The Irresponsible Reader today. This one is a doozy.
Before we see the cover, let’s learn a little bit about the book and author, shall we? It’ll just take a moment, and then we can all take a peak at the cover.
About the Book:
Quick Stats / Facts
- Title: Stranded
- Series Title: Sanguine Stars
- Author: Nicholas W Fuller
- Cover Art & Typography: Jeff Brown
- Genre: Sci-fi, Sci-Fantasy, Action Adventure
- Pitch: If you put the vibes and setting of Firefly in a room with Words of Power by Shami Stovall, add a touch of Dungeon Crawler Carl humor, and put some baby making music on… In nine months, you’d have Stranded.
FAQs
- There’s already 30+ chapters available on Patreon.
- The first four chapters you can read FOR FREE.
- Stranded will be complete on Patreon in just a few months!
- I’m planning a cool, limited print run before the end of the year. 😉
- The events of Stranded happen after Shattered: A Sanguine Stars Novella, BUT, Stranded makes a better entry point and Shattered is best as a book 1.5 in the planned trilogy.
Blurb
Poey Targe is stranded.
His skug-sucking captors dragged his ass all the way across the galaxy to who-the-hell-knows-where instead of just killing him when they forced him to watch his home planet’s destruction.
Fortunately, even on this mud ball in the middle of nowhere there’s a bit of civilization; enough that there’s a bar where a man can get drunk. That’s all that Poey cares about—losing everything you ever loved will do that to a man.
But, while he’s out killing monsters to keep the bar safe and earn his next drink, Poey starts to hear a voice in his head… has he cracked? Or could this be the key to untold power as the voice claims? Perhaps the procedure he endured before his home was blown to bits wasn’t a failure. If the voice is telling the truth, he might not only have a way to survive, but grow in power. Just as he starts to ask the only other person on the colony rumored to hear voices, he overhears a mayday – one that carries a codeword he made back home…
Poey’s new mission is to rescue whoever put out that mayday and he’ll stop at nothing to get there.
Sanguine Stars is a fast-paced, Sci-Fantasy story featuring found family and a unique progression system with many mysteries to unravel..

and now…
The Cover

Kudos to Cover Artist Jeff Brown for this eye-grabber. I’ve seen so many covers credited to Jeff Brown in the last few weeks, I can’t help but wonder who isn’t using his art. I sure would be if I had a book coming out.
