Bio-Weapon

Doom Star #2 / 6
by Vaughn Heppner
Bio-Weapon (Doom Star #2) by Vaughn Heppner
Unrated

Humans are the warheads in a lethal contest of missiles vs. long-range beams in deep space.

The desperate Homo sapiens of Earth launch their experimental beamship. It’s ultra-tracking and breakthrough technology allows it to out-range the Doom Stars.

The Highborn want that ship. They send swarms of missiles, knowing few will reach it. In the nosecones are their secret weapons — Free Earth Corps heroes from the Japan Campaign.

Launched from the giant missiles like shells in a shotgun, Marten Kluge and his friends must ride their torps into the particle shields and storm aboard the beamship or die in the cold vacuum of space.

BIO-WEAPON is the story of a suicide-ride to hell through a techno blizzard. BIO-WEAPON is a full novel, 85,000 words in length by Vaughn Heppner, Writers of the Future winner, Vol. IX.

Vaughn Heppner

Vaughn Heppner's love for storytelling started in the snowbanks of Canada, where his childhood days were filled with dreams of distant worlds and adventures beyond his frosty front yard. But it wasn’t until a move to sunny Central California that his journey into writing truly began, fueled by an unexpected gift—his very first typewriter. Heppner found himself typing away in early mornings, crafting stories that echoed the same sense of wonder he’d experienced as a child, searching for magic in everyday moments.

It wasn’t long before he dove headfirst into writing full-time, blending his passion for science fiction, fantasy, and adventure. His most well-known works, such as the Lost Starship series, take readers on thrilling intergalactic journeys where humanity’s survival is never guaranteed, and where the characters are as complex as the alien worlds they explore. With an impressive portfolio spanning multiple genres, Heppner’s stories often strike a delicate balance between pulse-pounding action and profound character development.

Heppner's writing is not just about grand battles and high-tech spaceships—it’s about the people behind the machines and the way they struggle, grow, and find purpose in the most chaotic of circumstances. With every novel, Heppner invites readers into universes that are both alien and deeply human. Whether navigating the stars or exploring the depths of the human psyche, his work captures the essence of what it means to face the unknown with courage, and at times, with sacrifice.

When he’s not penning his next great adventure, Heppner can be found enjoying the natural beauty of the world around him, reflecting on his varied experiences. With each new book, Vaughn Heppner reminds us that the greatest journeys are the ones that take us beyond our wildest dreams—and into the very heart of what it means to be human.

From The Lost Starship to his numerous other series, Heppner's work continues to captivate and transport readers to places only he could imagine.
