Deathwalker Colony
13 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 3 years ago -Science Fiction novel which is read by me, the author, depicting a young woman desperately trying to save the galaxy from a deadly virus. This is the third installment in a series which started with Rijel 12: The Rise of New Australia back in 2017. It was followed by the exciting sequel Return of Anarchy, both of which are for sale right now on Amazon. During the following twenty-six episodes you will get to hear me voice the many alien characters as I originally imagined them in my mind, with the main character voiced by my lovely wife Caroline. By the way, the original idea for the book was suggested by my stepson Aaron Ortega. Deathwalker Colony will be available for purchase in its entirety on Amazon later this fall.

Episode Thirteen: Recap / Preview of Part II
October 26, 2020 02:00 - 30 minutes - 21.2 MBIn this, the thirteenth episode of Deathwalker Colony, I recap the first twelve chapters, including Estrella's amazing journey through space visiting the many planets in the Interplanetary Authority ... from her adventures on Suidonj to the near-disaster she averts on planet Earth. The alien intelligence; the deadly pathogen which selectively infects certain individuals hoping to foster global chaos, has (at least for the time being) been curtailed in its efforts. With a little help from...
Chapter Twelve An Advocate for the People
October 19, 2020 02:00 - 34 minutes - 23.8 MBEstrella returns home to New Australia after an eight week journey from Earth, only to find that people hardly knew she was gone. There is no victory celebration held in her honor. No medals or citations to be passed out. They've practically forgotten about her. What's more, few know anything about her amazing exploits for the past year saving the galaxy. Not that she should be so surprised. Most of the work she'd done, aiding the many planet leaders in preventing disaster, was of a to...
Chapter Eleven: Deathwalkers
October 12, 2020 02:00 - 51 minutes - 35.2 MBEstrella researches the drug Benzo, only to find that the company producing it is steeped in controversy. Is it the pathogen at work: or simply an evil multinational corporation called PK Industries attempting to get millions hooked on the drugs they sell? Turns out to be a little of both; even if Devi Dacoity doesn't yet believe there's a problem. That's about to change. Ironically, Prime Minister Dacoity had once headed up an investigation into that very same company years earlier, o...
Chapter Ten: Benzo
October 05, 2020 02:00 - 45 minutes - 31.2 MBEstrella squares off with the Prime Minister of Earth, Devi Dacoity. The woman is prickly and standoffish; Estrella initially dislikes her. It's only temporary though; once Estrella figures out how to connect with the powerful leader, since both are female politicians in an otherwise male-dominated profession. They become fast friends. Estrella travels down to Brussels where she is greeted by a handsome bodyguard named Edouard. With his dreamy good looks and sexy Belgian accent, Edouard...
Chapter Nine: The High Chief
September 28, 2020 02:00 - 14 minutes - 10.3 MBWith only two stops left to make, Estrella and Admiral Slout stop off to visit planet Schpleefti. There they arrange a meeting with the High Chief Dipodomys, also known as The Commensal. It is a backward society they encounter when they arrive, with citizens living as peasants in an otherwise technically advanced world, complete with modern roadways, electricity, sewage, and running water. But that's only because Schpleeftii as a people have always relied upon assistance from extraterrest...
Chapter Eight: Teuthida
September 21, 2020 02:00 - 20 minutes - 14.1 MBEstrella and her Uncle Kscheeech find out that what Sleecha Igigi is actually looking for is the services of her Slartigifijian scientists onboard Warthog. Zorgolongians are big believers in Slart intelligence; revere them as deliverers of peace. Their task will once again be to save planet Zorgolong from the destruction of their proud society. Multiple EMP attacks leveled at planet Zorgolong's cities would in all likelihood plunge the entire globe into chaos, ushering in a new Dark Age...
Chapter Seven: Squamata
September 14, 2020 02:00 - 43 minutes - 30 MBEstrella and company head to planet Zorgolong. There they anticipate a much easier encounter, in that Zorgolong is technically allied to New Australia. Has been for years. The leader of the planet, one Sleecha Igigi, should be easier to deal with as well, in that Estrella has her Uncle Kscheeech to partner up with for the trip down to the surface. He's a Zorg - speaks the language - should make things go smoothly. But what they find when they get there is far from simple. A bizarre str...
Chapter Six: Not What it Seems
September 07, 2020 02:00 - 40 minutes - 28 MBEstrella and company arrive on planet Enosh, with the young female overawed at the species' focus on achieving an architectural balance with nature. Arriving at the capital city of Feliformia she can barely make out buildings from above; not until she is aided by an Enoshi crewman named Lykoi. What is revealed is a city full of wonderment. Enormous edifices covered in greenery, mimicking the local landscape, or carved into nearby hillsides... often simply adapted to groves of trees. It i...
Chapter Five: Rekindled Resentment
August 31, 2020 02:00 - 37 minutes - 26.1 MBFollowing a brief debate regarding where they'll head to next, it is agreed they should travel to planet Enosh. Nothing frightens the trio more than the thought of snarling feline beasts standing six and half feet tall, many of whom fierce warriors with a tradition going back centuries, descending into violence. Yet their fears of getting there too late may be a foregone conclusion. For it seems two rival clans, with a history of conflict between them, have done just that. The streets of...
Chapter Four: The Statesman
August 24, 2020 02:00 - 34 minutes - 24 MBOur three brave travelers Estrella, Slout, and Kscheeech are led into a large private office by Henriff Abrafrilric. There the trio intend to inform the obese fellow of how the pathogen has likely made its way across the galaxy and may now be infecting the population. The assassination of Gilt Duroc gives them every reason to believe the normally peaceful - if not occasionally temperamental - citizens of Suidonj may continue degenerating into random acts of violence. But that ends up bein...
Chapter Three: Number One Fan
August 17, 2020 02:00 - 39 minutes - 27.2 MBFollowing a day of mourning out on planet Suidonj, Gilt Duroc is laid to rest. Meanwhile, many light years away, the story's main character Estrella Mwonga makes her first appearance, along with Admiral Slout and her 'uncle' Kscheeech. After addressing Estrella's grief over the loss of her hero Gilt Duroc, they discuss the goings-on which have turned the normally peaceful planet of Suidonj into a potential powder keg. Estrella observes that the insanity surrounding Landrase Jahmff and his...
Chapter Two: The Contender
August 08, 2020 18:00 - 29 minutes - 20.3 MBGilt Duroc prepares to take the stage following a raucous performance by a band composed of members of an alien species called Schpleeftii. During the last century these rat-like creatures have immigrated to planet Suidonj by the millions; only to be forced to live in abject poverty. Now they've become a major political issue. Landrase Jahmff and his hoof-pumping supporters want them rounded up and deported. Gilt and her liberal-leaning constituents don't see it that way. As the band le...
Chapter One: Candidate Jahmff
August 08, 2020 00:00 - 24 minutes - 16.8 MBStory opens at a campaign rally on an alien planet called Suidonj. Pig-like creatures in the crowd are being whipped into a frenzy by an announcer who's about to introduce the day's star speaker, Landrase Jahmff. Candidate Jahmff was once a political outsider who burst into global politics only recently. His rise to prominence has been just as strange as the sudden transformation within Suidonji society. If all goes as planned his upstart Industrial Party will easily sweep the ruling Con...
