The Chaetdorians have been stuck upon the Earth for centuries, stranded here after their own planet was destroyed. Now that the human race's technology has evolved they have finally been able to repair their ship and the countdown to their departure has begun... but where will they go?

Earth, Moon, Space, Space Travel, Astronomy, Universe
With Chaetdor gone, and the vastness of space to explore in their search for a new planet to call home, what will they find? Will anything ever come close to matching the beauty they had once known?

Planet, Space, Sky, World, Universe


The Chaetdorian Mates series follows the male alien race as they prepare to leave our planet and the pitfalls that come their way. Everything is leading up to their eventual departure. I for one cannot wait until they do. The imagination can be an amazing thing and already worlds that they can visit are forming in my mind. Worlds made up entirely of water. Desert moons that hold no life. Worlds made from crystal. There is no limit to what they might find. Where they will eventually end up I have no idea, but it will be a grand adventure getting them there.




Corr's Forgiveness (#1)

Excerpt


Corr was having the most wonderful dream. He was back on his home world, the blue moon beating down upon his back, the ocean breeze caressing his flesh, as he placed the last tile upon the roof of the house he had spent moons building. Climbing up onto the roof, he cast his gaze out over the world he loved so much, excited that now his home was complete, he could set out to the stars and find his true half and bring her back to the loving home he had built for her. The ship was ready. He and his brothers would be setting off within the next moon cycle. 

Everything was perfect... If only it was real. 

The ringing of his phone pulled him from the dream, dragging him back to a reality where his home world was nothing but dust far out in space and all hope of ever finding his true half had been lost long ago. 

Grabbing the annoying device from the table beside the bed, he snapped, "What?" It was still daylight outside. He could feel the sun’s terrible rays even deep underground. 

"We have it," Hex shouted over the noise of machinery in the background. The young Techno was more than likely in his workshop building some strange contraction. Corr wasn’t sure what half of the stuff Hex built was, but the young Chaetdor insisted that everything he built had a very important purpose and would no doubt save all their lives in the future. And maybe they would… if they ever got of this rock. 

"Have what? Listen, I'm really not in the mood for this today. Call me back when it’s-" 

"Will you just shut up a minute and listen. We have the last component needed to fix the ship!" 

Diving out of bed, Corr rushed around grabbing clothes and any other item he did not want to leave behind. He may hate earth with a passion but he had picked up a few items over the centuries that he was quite fond of and didn’t want to lose. 

“You better not be lying to me.” In the early days they had all pulled that trick, laughing their heads off as their brothers rushed around. After a while, when they realised they would be stuck upon the planet for much longer than they had hoped, all jokes had stopped, and depression had sunk in. If it wasn’t for their beliefs, Corr was sure that a few of them would have taken their own lives during the wait. 

“I promise you, this is no joke. Get your arse down here now.”

  6. What kind of world will they find? The most interesting space thing I saw recently was a galaxy (?) that was made with similar constituents as raspberry vodka. The universe is a strange and fascinating place.
