The latest in a line of Action Lab: Danger Zone digital-first titles, AWRY is an intergalactic story starring a captain everyone hates and a nervous crew. In the 10 years it took the Phyllos to reach the black hole Formax-C, the crew of four came to loathe one another. But when the mission suddenly goes awry, the astronauts must overcome their differences and work as a team if they hope to survive an unforgiving alien world and make it back home. Fans of Lost in Space or Stargate are sure to enjoy AWRY’s alien worlds, dark humor, and rich characters.

Writer/creator Wes Locher highlights the creativity of his series: “AWRY is bringing something fun to the sci-fi genre. Instead of heavily-armed soldiers landing on an alien world and saving the day with bullets and explosives, we’re giving you a crew armed only with their wits. That includes a captain that everyone hates, and astronauts who talk too much when they get nervous. It’s going to be a wild ride.”

Locher went on to talk about what he wants readers to get from his book: “The core idea of AWRY is that when the chips are down, you see someone’s true character. AWRY takes familiar sci-fi tropes but uses them to tell an intimate story about loneliness, desire, and the ideas of family, digging into those moments where the people you don’t get along with can turn out to be the greatest allies imaginable. It’s like they say: you can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friend’s nose.”

Locher’s final thoughts: “AWRY could easily fall into the trap of being another high-octane action tale about gross aliens and laser guns, and while we have plenty of those, we wanted to tell a more intimate tale about the dangers of space and the importance of family.”
