THE NESKAN CHRONICLES

A QUEER YOUNG ADULT SCI-FI BOOK SERIES BY OWEN LACH

About The Neskan Chronicles

Much has been lost since the Colony ship CSF Jennix crashed on Neska centuries ago, including the ability to use the advanced, gene-locked technology the First Explorers left behind. Everything changes when sixteen-year-old Adan Testa, a forgotten orphan from the oppressive Bolvar Union, discovers he holds the key to Neska's lost legacy–the ability to wield Old Tech.

Suddenly a target of the ruthless forces willing to do anything to harness his power, Adan is forced to flee. His quest for answers becomes a globe-spanning journey where he gathers a found family of loyal friends and reluctant rebels. Together, they unravel a five-hundred-year-old mystery while being hunted at every turn.

But, like all epic quests, Adan's journey leads him back home for a final confrontation, where he must embrace his role as a hero and risk everything in a final battle for the soul of Neska.

"Tightly-plotted with nuanced characters that are easy to root for." –Ryan Douglass, New York Times bestselling author of The Taking of Jake Livingston

The Bolvar Union provides everything a good citizen needs, only asking one thing in return: total devotion to the State. Teenage best friends Adan Testa and Bo Shen have other ideas. They plan an unlikely heist to earn their way over the wall, escaping Bolvar before serving their mandatory five years in the Bolvar Union Defense Force. But Adan doesn’t know he possesses a secret talent that no one has seen in the five centuries since the First Explorers colonized Neska. And when the Union discovers Adan's hidden gift, they'll do anything and everything they can to discover his secret. Even if it kills him.
