Book Details
In a galaxy nearly conquered by Reptuuls, one boy will change everything, not by destroying
them, but by befriending them instead.
Kuro-Sil: The Book of Humans, Reptuuls, and God
Book 1
by Michael Small
Genre: Science Fiction Fantasy
I am the Chronicler, hear my story:
In the year 5027, humanity will be enslaved by an alien race called the Reptuuls.
But what if I told you a young boy befriended their oppressors?
Orren Hawkins is a boy with a dream: to make friends with the Reptuuls, no matter the cost. It
won’t be easy due to the Reptuuls hatred of humanity. But by the grace of a long forgotten
God, Orren has found two great and unusual friends, and they must learn to work together to
rescue enslaved humans, as part of their destiny to unite man and Reptuul under God.
There’s just one problem: Orren is himself a drulak, a slave of Reptuuls. Can he still accomplish
his dream?
Will you dare read the true story of a forbidden friendship no government wants exposed?
Then welcome, one and all, to the legend of the Kuro-Sil!

About the Author
Michael Small didn’t plan on becoming an author. He initially wanted to be a video game
programmer, though he couldn’t wrap his head around the subject. But he always had a story
to tell, and seeing how woke and especially anti-Christian messaging had started infesting
modern entertainment, he dropped out of college in 2016 and taught himself how to write,
spending the years since creating his own world, which became his debut novel Kuro-Sil: The
Book of Humans, Reptuuls, and God.
Michael is a Christian and goes to church regularly, using his faith to inspire his stories. He is
also an avid gamer, and has been playing video games since he was three. He mainly likes pop
culture stuff like movies, tv, and more recently manga, but he likes to try many things, like
going on walks and drives, and working out (though he’s not a pro at it).
He is currently thirty two years old and lives in Washington state.

Q: What inspired you to write this book?
A: My stories were inspired by childhood imaginations of mine. One of the things I loved when I
was a kid were the various monster and alien people in movies like Star Wars, and I always
imagined being in their world to meet them, befriend them, and go on adventures with them. I
always wanted to see a big sci-fi or fantasy story with a story like this, about a boy and a monster
becoming friends and saving the world, but no story I read or skimmed came close to capturing
that idea. Not to mention, the ridiculous amount of reboots and retreads from Hollywood and
other entertainment corporations with terrible stories that undermine what came before really
upset me. So I decided to write the story of my dreams myself. I was worried if my ideas would
be too dumb for a big story, but I’m willing to take that risk and put it out there, hoping it will
resonate with people some day. We need new stories, after all, and not the millionth Marvel
movie.
Q: What can we expect from you in the future?
A: The most I can say is that you can expect a six part series of my Kuro-Sil books in the future,
with the first chronological book, which I call “Rebels of Kuro-Sil”, in the series coming in the
near future. (The first book I published is a standalone story, and not part of the greater
narrative). Aside from that, I can’t promise anything else. I hope to make Kuro-Sil my life’s
work, and at this point have nothing aside from it. Anything else I may have is merely an idea,
and nothing more.
Q: Do you have any “side stories” about the characters?
A: I guess, technically, my first book called “Kuro-Sil: The Book of Humans, Reptuuls, and
God” is a side story. It’s set within what will be the first official story of my series, and is a
standalone, and isn’t supposed to affect the main story in any way. I have some side stories
focusing on my main character’s father that I might publish as novellas. I would love to do other
side stories following other characters, but as of now, I cannot think of anything outside of the
main narrative.
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about the characters in Kuro-Sil: The Book of Humans, Reptuuls, and God?
A: I would love to. I have a really diverse cast of humans and aliens, both in this book, and the
wider series.
The main cast of my series contains a boy named Orren Hawkins, and two Reptuuls (that’s the
name of the reptilian aliens prominent in the story) named Kor’Ba and Ti’Ran respectively. Orren
is a boy who, despite being raised among humans who tell him Reptuuls are the enemy trying to
enslave humanity, longs to live with them and befriend them. He’s a curious and optimistic boy
who longs for a dear friend who will help him grow. Kor’Ba is a disgraced soldier of the Reptuul
military who bought Orren from a slave market. Kor’Ba is surly, stubborn, quick to anger, lazy
and gluttonous. But despite this, he has a noble heart, and deep down cares for Orren, and will
protect him from all dangers. Ti’Ran is the noble young prince of the Reptuuls. He helped Kor’Ba buy Orren, and helps train the boy up to withstand the dangers of the Reptuulian planet. He’s
noble and outgoing, if a little pompous, but never to talk down to his friends. The trio has a deep
friendship that is key to the story. Despite Orren’s situation as a slave, he idolizes Kor’Ba, and
considers him his best friend. Kor’Ba acts like he doesn’t care, but deep down loves the boy. It
will just take him a while to admit it. Ti’Ran is like Orren’s big brother, and the two adore each
other dearly, while the prince’s relationship with Kor’Ba tends to be a little hostile. This is a story
of a found family between two species, and what I hope it captures the hearts of everyone who
reads my books. There are plenty of other heroes, but they aren’t as prominent in my first book.
There are other characters, such as Krull, one of the primary villains of my story. He’s the second
in command of the Reptuul military, and the leader of a group of elite hit men called the
Garathal. Krull is murderous, violent, and highly arrogant. He hates humanity with a passion,
and wishes to conquer the universe and make humans the slaves of the Reptuuls. He seeks the
power Orren contains, seeing it as his key to victory in the war between humans and Reptuuls.
Though he is ruthless, he is also very charismatic. He loves to boast about his accomplishments
and strengths, and is very bombastic and proud. I hope people find Krull to be an entertaining
villain, as he is constantly hounding Orren and his friends.
