    About this series

    Fifteen teenagers are chosen from thousands to participate in an off-world educational program at Cassini, the first human colony established on Titan. A team of psychologists responsible for their mental welfare accompanies them. When Drs. Kian and Marcela Barret discover that one of the teenagers’ guardians is a convicted criminal who caused the death of their baby sixteen years ago, Zoe Moore and her team are summoned to Cassini to investigate the legitimacy of the organization funding the program. What they uncover is a network of unethical scientific and paranormal practices driven by the doctrine of a forgotten Russian orthodoxy.

      QUEENSLAND, Australia –Author Penny de Byl shares a thrilling story that combines the mystery of a crime and police procedural, with science fiction. “Lost Souls” follows humankind’s fledgling endeavors to colonize space, but unfolds into the near future where science looks to religious tenets and beliefs when unethical medical practices lead to a series of baffling deaths. The story unfolds along two parallel narratives. The first tracks a police team investigating a series of bizarre deaths in which people are dropping dead with no apparent explanation. The second focuses on a group of researchers based in Antarctica, working toward developing technologies that will one day assist mankind to colonize space. These two worlds collide when the detectives and scientists become reliant on what is understood of religion and spirituality to solve the cases of mysterious deaths. With contemporary science and technological fact woven into the story, de Byl treats readers to an engaging journey of issues and solutions that seek to take humankind beyond earth. Intriguing, “Lost Souls” builds a fascination for the science and technology that is shaping the world, and the collective efforts that will be required of all nations to see humanity populate the cosmos. In a future dependent on both old and new practices, this original novel demonstrates there will always be a place for both science and spirituality in our culture.

      QUEENSLAND, Australia – Bestselling author Penny de Byl returns to the world of science fiction with “The Chaldean Legacy”. Action packed and brilliantly orchestrated, this second book in “The Disciples of Cassini” trilogy envisions a world teetering in between a new age of unprecedented advancement and inter-galactic cataclysm. The gruesome discovery of a drowned body in a space station sewerage vat sets the tense, claustrophobic atmosphere of “The Chaldean Legacy.” At the center of it all is Special Agent Zoe Moore who leads a team of investigators tasked with cracking the case. In the midst of a bustling space tourism trade, Zoe soon discovers a series of unexplained near-death suffocations. Circumstantial evidence points to four young delegates of a seemingly passive religious order, motivated to populate the galaxy. What started off as a possible murder case quickly unfurls to a space saga of near-apocalyptic dimensions as Zoe and her team struggles to fight for the truth and for their very lives. Moving to a breathtaking crescendo of suspense, “The Chaldean Legacy” is a futuristic parable that examines the possibilities and perils of space colonization, religious zealotry, scientific advancement and what could happen when these forces collide.
