After a successful run as a serial on Kindle Vella, Henry Vogel’s latest Scout adventure, THE PRINCESS SCOUT, comes out in e-book, paperback, and hardcover on March 19th. It’s available now for pre-order on Kindle, Barnes & Noble, Apple, Smashwords, and pretty much everywhere else e-books are sold. Please note that this is a completely self-contained and standalone adventure, and you need not have read any of the previous Scout novels in order to enjoy it.

What they don’t suspect is that an alien AI survived that war, and it’s still hiding in the jungle, waiting for the opportunity to finish its mission and exterminate humanity…
