Gingezel 2: Bad to Worse, Illustrated 2nd Edition with AI Art by Judi Suni Hall and Donald S. Hall

Guilt can destroy you. But there is no time for guilt with the Drezvir colony in peril.

In the second novel in the epic Gingezel sci fi series Dr. Mitra Kael, Power Systems Engineer is en route to Drezvir to face the deadly consequences of the overpower of her reactor.

Dr. Durstin Fallor, Chief Power Engineer on the planet, is facing those consequences in a much more real way. He is struggling to keep the colony alive in a red blizzard.

Her lover Dreen, head of Nemizcan Computing, is frantic to find Mitra but he has other problems. His hackers are losing their battle. His VP of Marketing is in for emergency surgery requiring Dreen to return to H.O. And just as he's about to leave, musician friend Bojo reveals the truth of his disfiguring 'accident' and asks for dangerous help seeking revenge.

Joran desperately wants to help his best friend Dreen and to find Mitra. Unfortunately those aren't the same thing. He has come out of hiding and reclaimed his position as one of the galaxy's top pop stars with a poignant love song to Mitra. Still mentally fragile and fighting his drug addiction, no one, including Joran, knows what he will do.

Chett Linderson, Nemizcan's VP of Field Operations, is the link between all of these events. He's vindictive and plays mean. He learns it's always a mistake to ask what else can go wrong as he is forced into a decision. Will he go after his dreams, or tear them up and be the hero?

Science fiction by scientists. Cliffhanger.
