Book 1 of The Chronicles of Dorn by Simon Dell.
The Outpost
At Tal Ghrna
‘It doesn’t matter what side you’re on,
if you’re fighting for your life.’
Tal Ghrna is a distant planet in the Galaxy’s Outer Rim. For almost twelve years, the Dominion have established a remote mining facility working alongside the passive native Ghrnese.
Now, the Dominion has fallen, chaos reigns, as the original inbinatants want the invaders to leave. The fractured team must survive an uprising against the odds.
Commander Lucas Dorn faces overwhelming numbers: no communication, dwindling resources, and an enemy born from years of oppression. With psychotic warlord Sal Fel rallying the enraged natives of Tal Ghrna, Dorn must unify soldiers, traders, and miners—or face extinction.
If you love high-stakes sci-fi with gritty realism and ragtag heroes, this is your next obsession.
Simon Dell
Every universe begins with a storyteller. Simon Dell is the architect of The Outpost at Tal Ghrna, a gripping debut that blends cinematic sci-fi with intimate, character-driven drama. Simon crafts worlds that feel vast yet personal, dangerous yet deeply human.
From battle-scarred commanders to volatile rebel leaders, his characters wrestle with loyalty, identity, and survival in the shadow of crumbling empires. Inspired by classic space operas, dystopian thrillers, and real-world geopolitics, Simon's writing doesn’t just entertain-it challenges readers to think about power, resistance, and what it truly means to fight for something greater than yourself.
