Tilly
“Written in 1986, Frank E. Peretti’s novelette Tilly may feel melodramatic to today’s readers, but remains a tearful tale of brokenness and redemption.”
—Lorehaven on Jun 24, 2022

The Wonderland Trials
“Although indebted to a classic, The Wonderland Trials is inventive and colorful in its own right, abundantly able to charm and to intrigue.”
—Lorehaven on Jun 24, 2022

Rise of the Earthborn
“Societal intrigue plus steampunk flair and a dash of romance help make Emma Buenen’s Rise of the Earthborn a solid extra-biblical adventure.”
—Lorehaven on Jun 17, 2022

Elite
“Elite explores parallels to the early Church, beautifully intertwining faith and action in this high-stakes post-apocalyptic adventure.”
—Lorehaven on Jun 10, 2022

The Centauri Survivors

“Stranded on this planet, we face both human and alien enemies; but I have learnt to fight for the ones I love.”
Andrew J. Chamberlain · science fiction for young adult readers · March 2021

When a habitable planet is discovered just four light-years from Earth, governments and private corporations rush to build a ship to take the first humans there. But only a few of the colonists wake up from cryosleep after the sixty-year journey, and as their ship comes into orbit around the new planet, they find themselves surrounded by death.

As the survivors scramble to make sense of what has happened, they find their own lives under threat, and, pursued by their enemies, they escape to the surface of the new planet. Caught between their human adversaries and whatever the planet throws at them. the survivors fight to stay alive, as circumstances drive them towards a final, deadly confrontation.

Book 1 of the The Centauri Sequence series.

Review of The Centauri Survivors

Imagine an alien invasion, but inverted. . . . This fun, leisurely-paced story brightens a constellation of classic sci-fi tropes.
Lorehaven Review Team, 2021

Imagine an alien invasion, but inverted. Andrew J. Chamberlain’s The Centauri Survivors opens with the rude awaking of young Grace McAllen from cryo-sleep. Her spaceship has reached its destination of the newly discovered planet Zera, but her fellow colonists aren’t waking up like they should. She and a ragtag band of teen survivors must confront life on their own in an unearthly wilderness. But the alien elements quickly become the least of their worries. Humans have now introduced greed, betrayal, and a nightmarish plot for world domination into this ecosystem. As the youngsters flee across a hostile landscape, they reckon with past grief and discover intelligent life in unexpected places. But can they stay one step ahead of a very human evil? Reminiscent of Out of the Silent Planet, this fun and leisurely-paced story brightens a constellation of classic sci-fi tropes.

Best for: Fans of science fiction and first-contact stories.

Discern: Violence and mild profanity, insinuation of possible homosexuality and future rape, and detailed descriptions of bodily functions, such as urination.
