Planet Octavion, a bright blue-green orb that lies along the backwash of the Milk Way, is magnificent in its beauty – from the Cobalt Sea to the Cinnamon Hills, from the Spearmint Forest to the Majestic Blue River. Its beauty masks incredible dangers from diverse, indigenous fauna and flora. Even the peaceful Terra Cotta Plateau masks deadly secrets. Three rambunctious boys decide the great caverns of Russet Butte beckon to be explored and begin an adventure that quickly turns into a struggle for survival.

“Tracks of Shining White” is an off-world, science-fiction adventure story, a throwback to the pulps. If you like this story, you’ll want to check out the new collection of Octavion stories – BACKWASH OF THE MILKY WAY by O’Neil De Noux.
