Antares #2

Leo's richly imagined science-fiction series continues with this second episode of Antares, published by Cinebook in 2012. The cover sets the mood beautifully: an armed woman stands small beneath towering alien forest growth — mossy columns, balloon-like seed pods, and unfamiliar flora — while two pale, manta ray-like creatures glide silently overhead. It's the kind of unhurried, wonder-filled science fiction that reminds you why exploratory storytelling on an alien world feels so endlessly compelling.
