In Quaking Hills

Book cover for a young adult space opera novel. A girl is sitting on a sci-fi tank with her two dogs looking out over an expanse of barren red hills.

After spending the last four days of her life hiding out from a deadly solar particle storm in an underground bunker, trapped with six treacherous women and a trio of girl assassins, Scout Shannon just wants to find the man who conned her mentor and leave her home world for good.

Alas, the long-threatened war draws nearer and Scout finds herself caught in the middle, surrounded by rebels and bandits. Worse, she carries a pocketful of dangerous secrets with no one to entrust them to.

And the hills keep shaking. Something lurks deep underground. Something massive. Something world-destroying. Scout leaves in three days. If she lives that long.

This is the second book in the complete six-book THE TRAVELS OF SCOUT SHANNON series.
