Blast off with the first book of an epic sci-fi space opera adventure reminiscent of Star Trek!

(But darker and works on its own terms.)

Hostilities ignite when a disgraced starship commander risks his career and crew by rescuing two young enemy warriors with dangerous secrets. Join Commander Hapker on an explosive journey as he contends with not only his skilled young charges, but also unsavory bounty hunters with hidden agendas, violent passengers who will do whatever it takes to get their way, and a prejudiced crew seeking revenge.

The villains will make you cringe and the heroes will make you cheer, but it''s not always easy to tell which is which. The struggle between what is right and what is necessary intensifies as every option threatens to trigger a cosmic war.

"A thoughtful novel that owes a debt to Star Trek but works on its own terms." -Kirkus Reviews

*Caution: Graphic violence. Not recommended for readers under 18.

The mission is underway. The Dragon Emperor leads a battle in space while his warriors swarm the surface of a planet where a device that can be converted into a powerful weapon awaits. His plan to regain the supremacy lost by his father is progressing perfectly. One thing threatens it all-his ten-year-old son. Though young, Jori promises to be the greatest Dragon Warrior in history. His fighting skills are already better than those of his older brother. He is profoundly intelligent, and he has other skills that even the emperor himself doesn''t have. His only weakness is his sentiment. As the emperor''s dream of dominance comes closer to fruition, Jori''s struggle between morality and familial duty threatens the course of many lives, including his own.

*Caution: The physical and emotional violence is worse than in the first book. Not recommended for readers under 18 or readers who are sensitive to cruelty and graphic violence. **grimdark

The Dragon Emperor must reclaim the supremacy of his grandfather and destroy his enemies. After being betrayed by someone close to him, he calls upon a fanatical cybernetic race to complete the construction of a planet-killing weapon.

Prince Terkeshi''s burden of living up to his birthright is compounded by the loss of his little brother and his father''s escalating madness. He submits to cybernetic enhancements only to find there''s a cost that threatens his humanity. Will he live up to his father''s lofty expectations by becoming a merciless warrior or will he fight to go down another path?

*Caution: The physical and emotional violence is worse than in the first books. Not recommended for readers under 18 or readers who are sensitive to cruelty and graphic violence. **grimdark

After escaping the madness of his father, Prince Terkeshi must adjust to his new life as a farmer. The worst part isn''t the smelly livestock or the lack of respect that comes with being a mere peasant, but the ghastly injuries that have diminished his fighting ability. When cyber-pirates kidnap people from his village, can the once-promising warrior overcome his disabilities and fight to save his new friends?

This novella can be read after Dragon''s Fall: Book Three or Warrior Outcast: Book Four of the Dragon Spawn Chronicles Series.

After escaping his abusive father, the young warrior, Prince Jori, finds himself on a military spaceship belonging to his old enemies. His only allies are Commander J.D. Hapker and a new friend with an insidious agenda. As the ship''s crew suffers a series of mysterious deaths, Jori must prove his allegiance and expose the real enemy.

*Caution: Violence. The violence in this book is not as dark as in books 2 and 3. However, this is still recommended for readers 18 and over only. **grimdark

The adventure continues with book 5! When riots between augmented humans and the people who hate them break out on a space station, Jori sides with the wrong people and finds himself a prisoner of a ruthless cyber soldier bent on destroying humanity. Can he outsmart this enhanced being''s super-strength, endless cunning, and almost magical power of perception?
