Volume 1
Science Fiction
Date Published: 10-01-2024
To the people of Earth, it is generally agreed that there is no sight more extraordinary than that of their human cousins on the distant colony of Aranae jumping onto the backs of giant spiders and riding off as if going to a picnic.
To the people of Aranae, it means freedom. But for The Provenance, their Earth rulers, one of their colonies entertaining thoughts of liberty makes them uncomfortable.
In the first three Spiderboy adventures comprising Volume 1, we follow the sixteen-year-old runaway, Haley as she discovers for herself the meaning of freedom.
1. Haley’s First Spider Bite.
Billionaire’s daughter Haley Morgan joins forces with an unlikely ally in an escaped convict on a quest to track down and apprehend a dangerous outlaw while at the same time dodge the spiderboy search party sent to catch Haley and return her home. And as in all young-woman-joins-up-with-escaped-prisoner stories, things are bound to get out of hand.
2. Malady in Savoy.
Continuing her quest, Haley takes a job as a showgirl in the city of Savoy where she becomes the object of mistaken identity, gets caught up in interstellar intrigue and falls for a roguish fugitive agent from Earth. Shape-shifting does have its drawbacks.
3. Along Came a Spider.
Haley endures a marathon battle of survival with a monstrous Trap Door spider that is determined to pin the girl on its venom-laced fangs.
