[Galactic Blues 07] • Knock on Wood

Sometimes, dire circumstances call for a new approach. No guarantee, though, that it will work out well.

Captain Remy Bechet will do anything to get him and his crew back to their own universe. Even play the role of hero.

Sheriff Lilly Greyson, meanwhile, still hopes to save her adopted planet. But to accomplish this feat, she must do something she finds incredibly difficult… trust three troublesome strangers. As for Commander Tara Shaw, she doesn’t do “hero.” She simply wants to get out from under Gono Darkbur’s thumb and escape this infernal planet. If she can kill Remy before then, all the better.

If you’re a fan of space operas like Firefly , Defiance , and Dark Matter , then you’ll love the seventh action-packed episode of the Galactic Blues serial.

Check out Galactic Blues today and begin your exploration of the Newton’s Gate Universe.

Galactic Blues Serial

Why a serial?

The authors of Galactic Blues envisioned the series as a limited-run television show, with weekly episodes being released on nine consecutive Mondays, starting on November 5, 2018. It is meant to be a fun short KU read every week. The story and characters develop much like episodes of serial television.

Will we release box sets?

Although we will eventually release each season (nine episodes) in a combined format, we originally conceived Galactic Blues as a weekly form of entertainment that would enable readers to escape into our world for a short time.

How is Galactic Blues connected to the NGU?**

The renegade space pirates at the heart of the series—Remy, Dreyla, and Tosh—begin their misadventures within the portal-filled solar system that has birthed Newton’s Gate. But as they soon discover, some portals have a mind of their own.

What Is the NGU?

First, you might ask... who is C.J. Clemens?

C.J. Clemens is the pen name shared by over thirty authors who have written and continue to write an assortment of stories based within the Newton’s Gate Universe.

And what is the Newton’s Gate Universe?

On New Year’s Eve of 2050, humanity launches Newton’s Gate, a gateway meant to enable interstellar exploration. But when the gateway explodes, our greatest achievement morphs into our greatest disaster. Portals begin to appear around the world. Some open and close briefly, others swallow entire cities, while some remain permanently active, linking Earth to a wide array of planets, galaxies, universes, dimensions, and alternate times.
