Saxon Andrew - 2019
However, after a thousand years, a dictator arose in the core of the galaxy and took the name Rage Kahn. He secretly built a large fleet of warships and went out to conquer the galaxy; it took more than two-hundred years to finally defeat his forces. The Rager War finally ended, but the damage was done. Vast swaths of space around the core of the galaxy were blasted back into primitive existence and the rule of law disappeared. The surviving colonies in the core built up military forces to prevent any other planet from ever attacking them in the future. To enter the area around the core was extremely dangerous and it began to be called the Forbidden Wilds. During the Rager War, the colonies that were away from the galaxy’s core and were not affected by the war worried that the war would spill out into the rest of the Milky Way. A Central Government outside the core was formed and built a giant fleet of advanced warships to make sure none of the aggressive colonies in the core could threaten them. And that was how it remained for three hundred years. Until a young woman fleeing a warrant for her arrest fled the Union for the Forbidden Wilds. What followed would have a monumental impact on the uneasy truce in the Milky Way. The Forbidden Wilds-Jingle’s Escape is the newest novel by Bestselling Author, Saxon Andrew.

Interview with #1 Bestselling Author Lars Emmerich
Q: Who are your influences?
A: Too many to list! I started out years ago as a Tom Clancy addict, and I thoroughly enjoy many of Nelson DeMille’s novels. I regularly read David Baldacci, Vince Flynn, Barry Eisler, Michael Connelly, and John Grisham. James Patterson has redefined what it means to be a working author, and I read his stuff as well. My top picks are usually espionage and private detective novels, any of the thousands of thrillers and mystery best sellers, and, of course, books featuring classic pulp heroes. And I’m greatly influenced by all sorts of nonfiction, as well. I read all the time, and I’m a bit of a magpie about the topics — science, economics, finance, politics, history, mathematics, engineering, biomechanics, medicine… It’s a big world out there, and I love learning more about it. Many of those topics find their way into my fiction, so I can justify it all as “research.”
Q: The Sam Jameson series has become quite a phenomenon. What do you think has been the driving force behind the books’ success?
A: I think Sam has something of a unique voice. She says the things we all wish we could say, and she gets away with it about half of the time. The other half of the time, not so much. I think she’s also a very human heroine. She has plenty of flaws and weaknesses, yet she accomplishes some amazing things. She’s like every one of us in that regard, which resonates.
Q: You have developed personal relationships with your readers over the years, which is a little unusual in the publishing business. Was that a conscious choice?
A: Absolutely. Books are intimate things. They occupy a person’s mind and thoughts for hours at a time. Good books leave a lasting impression, and great books might even change the way we think about things, but all books are a relationship. I always wanted a conversation. I wanted to learn from my readers, to hear what was on their minds, to listen to their criticism and hopefully improve the books I write. It’s been extremely rewarding, and I’m hopeful it can continue for years to come.
