KULA, Hawaii, Oct. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The New York City Big Book Award has recognized Salvage by Maui author Arnie Koss as a Distinguished Favorite in the category of Science Fiction. Free downloads of this award-winning 2024 novel will be available for Amazon Kindle readers from Thursday, November 7th to Monday, November 11th at https://a.co/d/iNDdUnq.

The NYC Big Book Award competition was judged by book industry experts including publishers, writers, editors, and booksellers. Award winners and Distinguished Favorites are based on overall excellence.

With a Native American family at it center, Koss invites the reader into a story rich in character description, with plot twists and turns that make it an irresistible, fun read.

Koss says, "I wrote Salvage to inspire, entertain and shine a light on our vulnerability as humans living on a planet besieged by climatic change and social unrest."

Summary:
Interplanetary salvagers, the Plenetians have been watching Earth for a thousand years from their water-starved planet, patiently waiting for humanity's apocalypse.

When an undercover scout from Plenetia is sent in human guise to Earth to help plan the salvage operation, he becomes convinced that humanity is worth saving after serendipitous encounters with Chi, a Native American single mom and her grandfather Blue Clouds, a repentant ex-con, who struggle to survive poverty and drought in the Arizona desert.

Displeased, Plenetia's leaders seek to hasten Earth's demise. Complicating matters is the U.S. government's pursuit to capture and neutralize the alien threat. This fast paced, unpredictable adventure catapults the reader around the world and beyond, to a final showdown with Earth's future teetering in the balance.
