NO ONE FIGHTS DIRTIER THAN AN ARCHAEOLOGIST

Archaeologist Nel Bently has her own crew, her own research, and a private patron to fund her passion for dirt. With her trowel barely into the dry earth of Chile's coast, however, Nel learns she and her crew are being watched.

Los Pobladores, known to Nel only as vandals and looters, take issue with any archaeologist brave or stubborn enough to set boots on their land. Nel is both and far from willing to give up the site that will make her career. She must keep her crew, her friends, and her life's work safe, but with a benefactor playing chess with their lives, and angry militants who may actually have a point, Nel is ready to fight dirty.

X-FILES meets LARA CROFT in this snarky sci-fi about where we came from, and where we're going.

Industry Reviews

“The whole concept this story is based on and built around is fascinating, the way V.S. Holmes has written the characters and plot is brilliant... a suspenseful read with lots of surprises, a touch of romance, and a whole lot of promise...”
-Serena Yates of Rainbow Book Reviews

“...If you like X-files, Indiana Jones or Lara Croft, if you like Firefly or a book that makes you laugh until you cry, ugly cry and then feel as if your world has been changed forever just for having read it, I highly recommend this book.... This is a book that will sit on your nightstand long after you have finished it.”
- Cameron J. Quinn, author of The Starsboro Chronicles

“...a deep emotional journey...moving, and I can tell those feelings will stay with me for quite some time.”
-Amy Spitzfaden, author of Untold

Praise for "Starfall," A Nel Bently Universe short story
“The world building was phenomenal, the writing tight and expressive.”
- Jaylee James of Vitality Magazine
