This week’s post is the opening prologue for Cosimo. I chose to use the prologue of the book for a few reasons:
- Firstly, I launched a promotion for the Kindle version of the book on Amazon this week, so naturally wanted to highlight it.
- Secondly, the prologue sets up the basis for the universe, and the colony that emerges from mankind’s flight from the Sol-system.
- Finally, at 435 words, the prologue is intended to intrigue the reader without bogging them down with lots of details and characters. It tries to set the stakes for the story, and hints at some of the challenges they will face and overcome.
The prologue could be removed from the story. However, losing it would make it more difficult for readers to orient themselves on the world that unfolds in later chapters.
Enjoy the excerpt and I hope you take advantage of this week’s sale on the book.
