A Note from Petra


Due to a snafu, some readers who pre-ordered or bought The Starfarer early on Amazon have received an older working draft of the manuscript, instead of the final copy. My apologies for this. Amazon is working on this and we hope to have copies updated for everyone affected soon. Thank you for your patience and my profuse apologies for the disastrous reading and customer experience.

“Couldn’t put it away … Great world building … I love it when a book just pulls you in, makes you forget time and makes you read past your bedtime … If you’re a sucker for some good romance, action and great world building you should pick up this book.”
– Esther Dauvillier of BiteIntoBooks

“Be prepared to embark on a breathtaking journey to a distant galaxy that you won’t want to return from!”
OnMyKindle

“The Mercenary is a sci-fi fantasy novel, I’ll never forget. Epic and completely flawless. I fell in love with the characters … A warrior who hides his facial expressions well, a rebel woman who’s afraid to open her heart, and a group set to destroy them both. Enchanting, thrilling, and full of adventure. Petra Landon created another magnificent page turner. I couldn’t stop reading it. Overall, I highly recommend this novel to all.”
Urban Book Reviews

“With all the watered down sci-fi we are flooded with, Petra Landon brings back true sci-fi with The Mercenary … This is definitely a book I will recommend to everyone. It was refreshing. The writing was flawless. The characters very likable. Everything about this book will draw you in. I don’t want to leave this world and I’m excited for the next book to come out!
