A.U.R.O.R.A. and The Dragon - A Futuristic Fairytale
“I’m not a hero.”
“The universe doesn’t need a hero, Ben. It needs a bandit. It needs you.”
Life has not been easy for Ben—AKA Bandit—since his near-fatal escape from the military cache tower on Mars four months ago. Living in hiding with his beloved Ray—the hacker formerly known as Ratchet—at his side, the daring duo attempts to adjust to their new home hidden in the shadows of the stars.
Their peace is interrupted when the mysterious Doctor Hans Gothel, creator of the incredible automaton known as R-PNZL, requests their aid once again. A ship transporting several hundred cryogenically frozen colonists will soon come under attack by a malicious malware known as The Dragon, and Ray is the only one with the skills to put an end to it.
Forcing them out of retirement for one last epic adventure, the ragtag crew of scientists and troublemakers find themselves racing off to intercept the Jupiter-bound ship before it's too late...
This is the physical edition of my Kickstarter backed short story, A.U.R.O.R.A. and The Dragon - the third story in the R-PNZL: A Futuristic Fairytale series. You can check out the Kickstarter campaign here!
