CLICK TO PURCHASE! Drake and Lara are working in deep space, trying to find the elusive mineral, Tallium. When they stumble upon the largest deposit of Tillium, they must make a choice that will change everything-all for the price of love.

ESSENCE is a short science fiction story by author Michael W. Davis that will keep you highly entertained from start to finish. There is an element of a mystery that surrounds Drake & Lara that had me trying to figure out what it was plus this is an author who creates some wonderfully well rounded characters that fairly step off the pages and into your hearts. Fast paced storyline, tight writing and intriguing characters kept the story flowing nicely. I don’t want to give away too much as this was a short story. I will leave it up to you to explore space with Lara & Drake. The underlying question that caught my imagination was “What would you do for love?” This question kept humming in my brain as I flipped the pages of ESSENCE. This author kept this question running underneath it all as you found out what Drake and Lara did for love and the climatic ending had me speechless. It was truly one that even I could not have foreseen.

Michael W. Davis is a masterful storyteller who continues to keep the reader highly entertained with his stories. With each book this author delivers to his readers, he captivates you from start to finish with a few intriguing twists that leave you breathless. ESSENCE is a nice, short read that will leave you eager for more. I hope this author comes back to this little area of the world he created and shows us more fun in space. If you haven’t read one of Mr. Davis’s stories then grab ESSENCE and settle in for a fun filled romp in outer space.
